things, gives you the proper motivation to start on your weight loss.
Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure & Strokes
Losing weight will get a lot easier if you know a bit of what overweight do to heart disease, high blood pressure and strokes.
It is a well-known fact that strokes and heart disease are some of the primary reasons for death and disabilities. If you are overweight you have a whole lot of higher risk for cholesterol in the blood streams and also triglycerides.
A type of heart disease called Angina causes chest pains and decrease the oxygen pumped to your heart because of overweight. Another thing overweight can cause is sudden death because of heart disease and strokes and usually there are very little signs and symptoms.
You can decrease the chance of you having heart disease and strokes by dropping your weight 5-10 percent because it will improve your heart functions because your cholesterol and blood pressure will be lowered.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes and also type 1 diabetes can both be related with you being overweight and besides the complications it can give in your life it can also be very dangerous for your health. Losing weight can help you avoid getting diabetes if you combine weight loss with regular fitness. If you already have diabetes 2 it is the same formula because losing weight and daily exercise can help controlling your blood sugar levels.
What exercise you decide to use really doesn't matter. What matters is daily physical activity like walking, running, another cardio workout or fitness exercise.
Pain of Osteoarthritis
It is quite obvious when you are overweight that your knees, hips and lower back have to carry more weight and depending on your weight this could be quite a lot compared to what it is for a normal weight. This is a bad thing especially because if you are overweight you probably don't exercise your muscles, so you don't have the benefit of strong muscles to carry the weight. What this overweight is doing is bringing tension, pains and stress on these joints and this is one of the really important reasons you should start losing weight because it will lower the load and might even eliminate the pain for those who have osteoarthritis.
These three reasons are all very bad side-effects overweight could cause, and the chance they will hit you might be low but if you have an exceed overweight you really should be getting started on losing weight.
These 3 reasons should be motivation to get started and when you are started on your weight loss program you can always start using the motivation of seeing yourself being sexy as a slim person.
