How Weight Gain Can Harm Your Health

Weight gain is a serious problem, though most people are affected only by the physical aspect of gaining weight. Overweight people suffer from a number of physical, physiological and emotional problems. The good news is that losing even small amounts of weight can reverse these effects dramatically.

Physical effects: Labored breathing, inability to carry out easy tasks and helplessness to enjoy brisk activities are some of the most apparent problems. There are associated problems like finding plus sized outfits, not fitting into restaurant seats and the embarrassment of wearing a swimsuit in public.

Physiological effects: These are much more serious and have lasting impact on the person’s health and quality of life. Excess weight puts additional pressure on every organ of the body. According to a study conducted by the Mayo clinic, young, healthy adults who put on just 9 pounds impaired the functioning of their blood vessel lining! People who are overweight increase their chances of suffering from diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure. Increased weight increases the risk of many diseases including breast cancer and coronary diseases.

Mental effects: Weight gain can make you feel sluggish and tired. It can interfere with your ability to concentrate.

Emotional effects: These are about as widespread and dangerous as the physiological effects of weight gain. Weight gain shatters a person’s self confidence and self esteem. It makes them self-conscious. Being overweight can lead to depression and increase stress levels. In some people, the effects are so powerful that they continue to put on more and more weight while they hate themselves for it. Thus, weight gain affects every aspect of their social and emotional life. Many people who are overweight find themselves in and out of relationships.

Weight gain can lead to an increase in Medicare costs: Many companies tie promotion and medical benefits to maintaining a healthy weight. There have been hushed up reports that some companies do not like having overweight people in key posts as this gives out the wrong impression about the company and the capability of the person.

Maintaining a healthy weight is important to your overall health and happiness. It keeps you active, boosts your sex life, keeps you feeling attractive and on top of things. Being overweight destroys all that.

As you can see, maintaining a healthy weight is important in many aspects of life.
