Too Much Fat Easily Leads to Cause Gallstones

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Gallstones are abnormal concretions that form in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a tiny organ situated beside the abdomen and below the liver. Its primary responsibilities are to store bile, which is produced by the liver, and then to release the proper amounts to the small intestine to help with digestion.
The actual substance, bile, is composed of fats, water, cholesterol, bile salts, and a natural pigment called bilirubin. Gallstone typically form when there is either too much bilirubin or too much cholesterol in the bile.
There are only two kinds of gallstones: cholesterol stones and pigment stones. Cholesterol stones account for nearly eighty percent of all gallstones and are composed of bile salts and cholesterol, while pigment stones account for the remaining twenty[Read More]

Study Shows: Overweight can Cause Arthritis

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Being overweight or obese can cause a number of health issues from hypertension to diabetes to heart failure. And according to a recent study, we can now add osteoarthritis the list. The condition is a progressively degenerative one and often begins with a slow (or rapid) weakening and eventual deterioration of the cartilage in the knees, which leads directly to osteoarthritis. Why does it start in the knees? As you might expect, obese and even overweight people can put tremendous pressure on their joints; the fact is that the knee is not built to withstand such extreme weighs.
While it is true that there are other factors that can cause cartilage loss in the joints, obesity is not only the leading one, but[Read More]

Obesity Is One of the Important Factors to Cause Heart Failure

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

Years of research have revealed what doctors and scientists have long suspected— that excess weight puts undue stress on the heart, which can and often does damage it and leads to heart failure. The chance of severe, permanent, and sometimes fatal inflammation of heart tissue increases over time and is often exasperated by additional weight gains. Translation: the more weight you put on, the greater the likelihood that you will damage your heart, perhaps irrevocably.
Several recent studies that all arrived at this same conclusion were aimed squarely at the estimated 70 million Americans currently classified as obese. The study also proved that while being overweight does put extra strain on the heart, being obese puts an incredible amount of pressure on the[Read More]

Obesity may Accelerate Alzheimer’s Disease and Cause Other Brain Ills

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Expert urges people to modify lifestyle after reports find a connection:
Obesity and its common companions — diabetes and heart disease — can work together to speed dementia and other brain ills, a series of new studies shows.
One expert thinks these papers, published in the March issue of Neurology, deliver a key message, namely that people can take steps to reduce their risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. People think about lifestyle factors in preventing heart disease, he says, but not always when it comes to losing mental abilities.
“This is an important message,” said Dr. Ronald C. Petersen, chairman of the Medical and Scientific Advisory Council of the Alzheimer’s Association and director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at the Mayo Clinic.[Read More]

Regular Eating Habits can Cause Weight Gain

Monday, April 12th, 2010

It’s not eating binges, it’s our daily eating habits that do the most damage to our diets and our weight. For example, how many times have you heard someone say:

“I don’t know why I’m so overweight, I hardly eat a thing”
So why is this person overweight? Because of their daily eating habits, that’s why. Because their calorie-intake is too high. Sure, they may not overeat, they may never go on a binge, but each day they put high calorie food into their mouth.
High Calorie Daily Eating Habits
It’s easy to fall into bad (high-calorie) eating habits. For example, a daily diet which includes: regular butter (35 calories/tsp) and mayonnaise (100/tbsp), too much cooking oil (120 calories/tbsp), snacks of tortilla chips (150 calories/11 chips),[Read More]

Eating Fruits Is Likely to Cause Obesity After Dinner

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

The tastes of fruit is very good, and the nutrition is also very high, many people like to eat. Many fruits are water-soluble nutrients, before meals to eat in the best interests of the body’s absorption of essential nutrients. In addition, the fruit is low-calorie food, the average calorie pasta weighs only 1 / 4, the same pork meat 1 / 10.
The first to eat low-calorie food, it is easier to grasp for a meal in total calorie intake. In addition, many fruit itself is easy to be oxidized, corruption, and eat fruit can reduce its residence time in the stomach, reduce oxidation, the level of corruption, reduce the adverse health effects.
Many restaurants are in the meal a plate of delicious fruit,[Read More]

Obesity Cause – The Influence of Genetic Factors on the Energy Metabolism

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

When the consumption and the intake of energy achieve an equilibrium, a person’s weight will be able to maintain a relatively constant; and when the energy consumption is less than energy intake, the excess energy in the form of fat storage down, so that weight gain leading to obesity. During rest and activity energy expenditure level from the genetic basis of the decision, different heat consumption levels among individuals vary greatly. Many obese patients complain about, “drink water all flesh,” They are not eating more than normal heat, and even less than normal, but still occurred in obese, which is their time of rest and activity basal energy expenditure lower than normal on.

External Chemical Substances will Affect Human Metabolism and Cause Obesity

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

It was mentioned that obesity is a general consideration calorie intake (how much to eat) and energy expenditure (the amount of movement). However, the Missouri State University scientists have discovered that we encounter every day environment of some chemical substances, such as plastics and pesticides also affect obesity. University of Missouri College of Arts and professor of biological sciences Frederick. Ohm. Saar found that when fetal exposure to these chemicals, their gene function will be changed, so that they tend to obesity and disease.
Ohms. Saar said that certain chemicals known as endocrine disruptors can change the fetal gene function and the body’s endocrine system, it tended to obesity. They can eat normal and metabolic system, and exercise as much, but they will[Read More]
