Be wary: Fourteen "fatal reasons" for you to lose weight

1. Gynecologic diseases

A doctor from the United States said: "A particularly obese woman will secrete excessive estrogen in her body. When there is too much estrogen and too little lutein, she may develop edema or brain swelling and her weight will be heavier."

2. Kidney disease

The kidneys filter the blood in the body about 25 times a day to remove waste and toxins from the blood and maintain a balance of salt, water and other substances. Kidney experts say that being overweight can easily damage major organs in the body, because two causes of kidney disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, are related to obesity.

Obese women often have irregular menstruation, such as long, irregular cycles, heavy flow, and hirsutism-abnormal growth of body hair caused by an imbalance in hormones. Vaginal infections and some premenstrual complications are also linked to obesity.

3. The quality of sexual life declines

Due to the imbalance of hormones in the body and irregular menstruation, physiological needs are also reduced. Coupled with too much abdominal fat, the movements will become clumsy and inflexible, affecting the quality of the couple's sexual life.

4. Affects pregnancy

Pregnancy is a major challenge for obese women. Because obese people are not easy to get pregnant and have great psychological pressure. In addition, the burden on the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and respiratory tract is heavier than that of ordinary women. Once pregnant, the symptoms will increase accordingly. Even proteinuria occurs. Women with diabetes also have a high rate of birth to deformed babies. Generally, the fetus of obese pregnant women is overweight, and care should be taken to prevent dystocia.

5. High blood pressure

People with high blood pressure have a harder heart to work than healthy people. The heavier people are, the more likely they are to develop high blood pressure. Even with mild hypertension, before the age of 65, the chance of suffering a stroke is three times higher than that of people with normal blood pressure, and the number of people dying as a result will be twice as high.

6. Diabetes

Researchers found that too many fat cells require the pancreas to secrete too much insulin to convert sugar in the blood into energy. When the pancreas is overwhelmed, its function will weaken, so sugar in the blood increases and cannot be fully utilized and is excreted from the body.

Obese women are four times more likely to develop diabetes than women of normal size. And 70% of people with diabetes are obese. Patients with diabetes caused by obesity will improve their condition after losing weight and their metabolic function of sugar will return to normal.
