Closely associated with obesity, high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart disease, heart failure, and aortic aneurysm. Losing weight – even as little as 10 percent of your total body weight – can significantly decrease and even eliminate high blood pressure.
A waxy, fatty substance essential to life, cholesterol is produced by your liver and travels throughout the body in the blood. Being overweight can cause too much cholesterol to accumulate, leading to clogged arteries, high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.
Being overweight contributes significantly to a dangerous disorder called sleep apnea, a condition where a person’s airway is obstructed during sleep, leading to frequent starts and stops to breathing – as often as 30 times per hour – and increased risk of stroke and heart attack.
Being overweight can change the way the body produces and processes a hormone called insulin – a condition called Diabetes Type 2. Losing weight can reverse diabetes, leading to many health improvements and better quality of life.
