Excess fat is not only disrupt the outer appearance but also harmful to health. Previously, researchers still do not understand how extra fat is damaging the body. However, the results of the scan with magnetic resonance imaging (MRIRI) scanners, has managed to uncover the negative effects of fat on organs, bones and muscles.

What are the negative effects? Here’s a description by Professor Jimmy Bell of Imperial College (who developed MRIRI) and Mike Hayton orthopedic surgeon and consultant radiologist Waqar Bhatti (both from the Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle, Manchester) for you.

Neck: headaches / snoring
Results of scanning, light Hayton, showed that the fat piled everywhere, including around the head and neck, especially in the rear. “Excess fat in this area will suppress the nerves and trigger a headache and neck pain,” said Hayton, dailymail.co.uk quoted as saying the site.

A study from the United States involving 143 000 participants found that chronic daily headache is more common in obese people.

In addition, the light Bhatti, a yellow stain on both sides of the neck of a fat woman (the scan) resulted in the accumulation layer of fat. “Fats will suppress the respiratory tract and trigger snoring.”

Obesity is one major trigger factor of sleep apnea (stopping breathing). This condition occurs when tissue in the upper respiratory tract too close to one another, thus inhibiting breathing. This condition can trigger a memory disturbance, low energy, difficulty breathing, swelling of feet and high blood pressure. In the long term, this condition can lead to stroke, hypertension and even sudden death syndrome.

Lungs: shortness of breath
The scan showed, even though both women are scanned participants have lungs the size of the same, women who are overweight are more difficult to breathe. This, according to Bhatti, caused by fat in the abdomen that pushed up into the lungs when someone is lying flat. “This will cause shortness of breath, even while lying down.”

Increasingly difficult to breathe, light Bhatti, the less oskigen flowing in the bloodstream. This can cause lack of energy, immune system disorders and high blood pressure.

Lung, Bell light, not a solid structure. Therefore, the lungs can be minimized. “Fat does not accumulate inside, but it came out. This is why we have a protruding belly fat.”

Hips: arthritis / varicose veins
“Obesity mean hip joints have to carry an extra burden. So, the joints will lead to faster wear and arthritis,” said Hayton.

Obese patients who need hip replacements, light Hayton, generally also face more physical stress. However, he continued, surgical specialists are also experiencing difficulties. The reason, according to findings from American studies, higher-risk obese patients experienced postoperative complications, including heart attack, wound infection and urinary tract infections.

In addition, the light Hayton, obese people are also more at risk of varicose veins. “Complicates the process of pumping blood fats. As a result, the blood valve will be damaged.”

Heart: heart disease
Contained fat around the organs (visceral fat), light Bell, can poison the body from within. Visceral fat, added Bell, issued a chemical that has been linked to heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer.

Results of scanning in women plump, bright Bell, showing that they have an enlarged heart. Bertanbah heart muscles big as a response to stretch caused by extra weight, and an enlarged heart, he continued, can not effectively pump blood. This condition will cause the least disruption breathing and fatigue.

Enlargement of the heart, light of Bell, is a common cause of heart failure. This is because the heart is not able to provide blood flow to meet the needs of the body. According to the British Heart Association, at least four percent of deaths in the UK per year caused by heart failure.

Foot: heel pain
Carry the load, at least two times the normal amount, will make your feet sore. The Harvard Medical School found that being overweight will cause stress on the ligaments which resembles the structure is located starting from the heel to the front of your foot. This section will be inflamed and cause sharp pain in the heel when walking.

Knee: Sore joints
According to the Arthritis UK, obesity is a major cause of osteoarthritis in the joints of the retaining loads, such as knee and ankle. Obese people who otherwise risk 14 times greater experience arthritis in the knee.

Additional pressure from the extra weight will make cartilage (cushions joints) become worn, making the bones rub against each other. “For the people who are overweight, such as running or jumping activities increase pressure on joints up to 10-fold,” explained Dr Ian Drysdale from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Intestine: depression / infertility
The results of scanning of obese women shows that the fat does not just cover up her body but also to wrap the organs inside the abdomen. On the other hand, a more slender women have less fat on the surface of the fat that wraps the body and organs (visceral fat).

“Abdominal fat is the worst place,” explains Bell. This visceral fat is constantly going out of chemicals and hormones in large amounts (such as leptin and restitin). These chemicals and hormones associated with changes in metabolism and development of type 2 diabetes.

In addition, these hormones also can change the whole endocrine system and trigger hormone imbalance, such as polycystic ovary syndrome. This condition is attacking women, trigger excessive hair growth, weight gain and infertility.

Meanwhile, when fat reaches the digestive system, fat will be broken down in the liver. So, broke, fat will release toxins into the bloodstream. This can damage organs like the liver.(MI)
