We all know the health risks associated with being overweight. Obesity statistics for Ireland have been going in the wrong direction for the past couple of decades.
We know the extent of the problem and we have expert predictions of where it’s leading us.
The prognosis on the health of our population paints a grim picture.
Overweight people run a high risk of coronary heart disease. Unchecked, this leads to heart failure. Your chances of high blood pressure are greater if you are overweight or obese.
Being overweight or ‘carrying the few pounds’ – as we euphemistically refer to it – can lead to a build-up of plaque in the arteries.
Life Arresting
This pushes those in the overweight lane right into the path of an oncoming stroke – with all its life arresting complications and disabilities.
Most people who have Type-Two Diabetes are overweight and are burdened by the added dangers of high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Being overweight or obese increases your risk of serious diseases: Cancer of the colon, breast and gallbladder are common among those in the overweight or obese categories.
Extra weight puts pressure and undue ‘wear and tear’ on the joints resulting in osteoarthritis. We know all of this for years! Why then are the stats still pointing in the wrong direction? What are we doing about it? Where do we look to for a way out of the dangers posed? To what or to whom do we turn for guidance and help?
One Sneaky Pound at a Time
Obesity happens. It creeps up on you one sneaky pound at a time and it leads you right into trouble. Prevention through awareness and education is the best possible solution to our looming health problems. However, for those already in the danger zone help is at hand.
Arresting the development of obesity is also a pound-at-a-time exercise. If you’re trying to lose weight and you’re disappointed at your daily, poor showings on scales or by tape and your condition is reflected in the previous paragraphs, then, may I respectfully suggest that you read on:
