Scientists Link Obesity to Brain Damage (read the full story)
Dr. Petryk’s Thoughts: Obesity causes an increase in systemic inflammation (through out the body) and this increase in inflammation has a deleterious effect on numerous systems.
One example: your Cholesterol doesn’t go up as a result of Obesity as can be demonstrated by numerous patients who are at a “healthy weight” and still have elevated cholesterol levels however; obesity does cause an increase in inflammation which would be demonstrated by an elevated cholesterol level.
Weight loss is critical in helping to reduce inflammation and therefore lower things like cholesterol however; there is a right way to do it.
Diets don’t work, nor do any other pill or potion. Exercise is very inefficient as a means to lose weight however; it is critical in maintaining a healthy weight. There is no simple fix but it is a simple formula: fewer calories in and an increase in calories being used results in weight loss. It is a lifestyle change that includes Health Habits and it is much easier than you think.
