Obesity, Cholesterol

Excess weight gain can be caused by eating patterns, physical activity levels, sleep routines, genetics and taking certain medications such as anti-depressants, steroids, anti-seizure medications, diabetes medications and beta-blockers. Fast, highly processed & convenient foods, sugar laced comfort foods with lack of fiber and poor nutritional value diet & stress, lead to obvious weight gain.

Obesity adds extra weight to our body & extra pressure on our skeleton & joints & with chemical changes in our blood they will increase our risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Some effects can be an increased risk of certain cancers with obesity & premature death from all causes. There are metabolic syndrome risk factors which make it harder for us to lose weight and sustain weight loss. As such this can lead to Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, fatty liver & kidney diseases & gallstones. Excess body fat can crowd the organs of our respiratory system and add stress & strain on our musculoskeletal system, leading to asthma, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, back pain & gout.

Indirect effects of excess weight will be memory loss leading to Alzheimer’s disease & dementia, female infertility & pregnancy complications, depression, mood disorders, certain cancers namely esophageal, pancreatic, colorectal, breast, uterine and ovarian. Look out for warning signs of high cholesterol. They are nausea, numbness, slurred speech, extreme fatigue, chest pain or angina, shortness of breath, numbness or coldness in extremities & high blood pressure. High cholesterol is often due to excessive saturated and trans fat consumption. Some of the best drinks for cholesterol management include green tea, pomegranate juice, citrus juice, soy milk, plant-based smoothies, and red wine. Try walking as it raises your “good” cholesterol and lowers your “bad” cholesterol. A brisk 30-minute walk three times per week is enough to raise your “good” cholesterol (HDL) & lower your “bad” cholesterol (LDL) a few points.
