Obesity

The most dangerous and fatal diseases Caused by the obesity

Most people think that the obesity epidemic is not dangerous but they are wrong because obesity causes diseases in the body, and sometimes these diseases can cause the death.

When people are affected by the obesity epidemic it is more likely that they will contract diseases. If they cure their obesity, they can cure these diseases.

“Obesity is the leading cause behind several of the killer diseases out there; if you can get rid of obesity then you will automatically get rid of these diseases.” (http://www.weightlosscoaching.com/3-Killer-Diseases-Caused-by-Obesity.html )

There exist a lot of diseases caused by obesity but some of them are very dangerous and greatly affect the obese person´s health.

As a result of obesity, people can have a lot of faults in their bodies, like diseases. One of the most important and dangerous is heart disease. Heart disease is fatal because the heart is the most important organ, without it, people can´t live. “By some estimates, more than 200,000 people die each year in Mexico because of heart disease, diabetes and other diet-caused illnesses.” (http://www.southcentralfarmers.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=444&Itemid=63)

Obesity can also cause several diseases, including multiple cancers. These cancers appear in some areas that are indispensable for the organism.

“Several types of cancer are associated with being overweight. Being obese also increases the risk of dying from cancer. In women, these include cancer of the uterus, gallbladder, cervix, ovary, breast, and colon. Overweight men are at higher risk for developing colorectal cancer and prostate cancer”. (http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/obesity-health-risks?page=2)

Snoring is a disease because a lot of fat forms on the body that causes reactions and affects the respiratory system; this can cause several consequences because if you cannot breathe you cannot live.

“Obese people develop fatty tissues at the back of their throats. As a result of this, when they sleep, these fatty tissues block the normal air passage, resulting in snoring.” (http://www.weightlosscoaching.com/3-Killer-Diseases-Caused-by-Obesity.html )

If we can avoid obesity we will be healthier people. If you cure obesity, your body automatically will defeat fatal diseases that result from the obesity.

Obesity

In Mexico the lack of exercise and bad nutrition is causing childhood obesity that results in fatal diseases.

Introduction

Throughout time Mexico has been known as a country with bad habits because most Mexicans have the custom of eating fast-food with a lot of fats, few nutrients. Also the lack of exercise in childhood contributes to obesity in Mexico. Having an adequate habit of exercise can give a child good health. Videogames or watching television increases the risk of obesity.

Having exercise in life is very important to feeling good and to being in good shape. Unfortunately children do not know this. Adults are the ones that need to show children the benefits of exercise to help avoid the obesity, because when sedentary children grow up, they will become obese adults with a high risk of diseases. This can lead to can an early death. Being an obese child can cause damage to the mental health that can last a lifetime. Obese children are more likely to be bullied and as result when they grow up they became insecure.

Most people think that the obesity epidemic is not dangerous but they are wrong because obesity causes heart diseases, some several types of cancer, snoring, and other diseases that can cause death. One of the most dangerous diseases is diabetes, this disease is a disorder of metabolism; the process that turns food into energy. This disease is related to childhood obesity but when they are mixed is very dangerous.

Obesity is a common problem Mexico has and it is affecting children´s health and their development at the course life.

THIRD POST Obesity

Childhood obesity causes damage to the mental health that can last a lifetime.

Obesity causes health problems and is now commonly affecting children. In almost all cases, obesity causes damage in the mental health of the individual.

“Obese adolescents are more likely than normal weight children to be victims of bullying, a study found, bolstering evidence that being fat endangers emotional as well as physical health.” www.medscape.com

Obese children are more likely to be bullied than their non obese peers regardless of sex, race, socioeconomic status, social skills, or academic achievement. This suggests that they are being bullied because of their weight and not for other reasons.

As the increases in childhood obesity continue, the damage in obese children remains pervasive. Bullying obese children starts with adults because they reflect their insecurity by remarking on the defects of others so children learn and grow with this behavior.

A study shows us the main types of bullying in childhood and demonstrates that obesity is the principal reason children are bullied at school.

TYPES OF BULLYING AT SCHOOL

Factor	Percent
Obese	42%
Race	24%
Socioeconomic status	12%
Religion	8%
Sex	14%

All the abuses against obese children are post-traumatic, the damage will appear at a young age and will continue to appear until adolescence or maybe until adulthood. That may affect the mental development of the person who suffers from the abuse.
