The hazards of obesity
Obesity is often associated with diseases such as dyslipidemia, fatty liver, hypertension, coronary heart disease, abnormal glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus. It can also be accompanied or complicated with obstructive sleep apnea, gallbladder disease, hyperuricemia and gout, osteoarthropathy, venous thrombosis, impaired reproductive function and some cancers.
Obesity may be a cause and risk factor for these health problems, or may share a common basis with these diseases.
Some researchers have suggested that obesity may even be a risk factor for the severity of novel coronavirus pneumonia, especially in younger patients.
Data from the US and France show that obesity is associated with a higher likelihood of hospital admission and severe illness among COVID-19 patients.

Why do you eat like this?
The energy of food mainly comes from the carbohydrate, protein and fat contained in food (these three substances are known as the “three productive nutrients” in nutrition).
Human intake of animal and plant food, digestion and decomposition into these three nutrients, produce a lot of energy.
In addition, dietary fiber, ethanol, organic acids, sugar alcohols can also provide a certain amount of energy for the body.
The level of food energy is related to its own nutritional composition. The more fat the food contains, the higher the converted energy will be. For example, fatty meat has a higher fat content than lean meat, and fried food has a high fat content.
Vegetables and fruits are high in fiber and water, low in fat and protein, and therefore, low in energy.
Move legs, more consumption
Among the four ways of energy consumption, the consumption of physical activity is the only one that can self-regulate energy consumption. With the increase of physical activity, the energy consumption will increase significantly.
So, pay attention to exercise, increase the consumption of physical activity, get rid of excess fat.
