Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea is very common in people who are
overweight and the results in a persons airway
becoming blocked or obstructed during sleep,
resulting in pauses in breathing or shallow
breathing. The effects of long-term untreated
sleep apnea include excessive tiredness and can
lead to minor or even severe driving accidents
due to loss of sleep, high blood pressure, heart
attack, stroke, diabetes, heart failure or
arrhythmias.

Heart Disease Stroke
Heart disease and strokes are some of the leading
causes of death in the country. People suffering
from obesity often have high blood pressure and
high cholesterol levels, making is much more
likely to suffer from one of these issues, if not
both. It is a proven fact that people with both
high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels
are much more prone to heart disease and/or a
stroke.

High Blood Pressure
Being overweight or obese often leads to high
blood pressure, also known as hypertension, which
is the amount of force that blood is pushing
against the blood vessel walls. Increased blood
pressure causes the heart to work harder while
pumping blood through the arteries. This causes a
hardening of the arteries, often resulting in
heart failure or kidney disease. Reducing your
salt intake is a simple, easy and effective way
to reduce your high blood pressure, while also
working to lose weight.

Diabetes
Diabetes is characterized by elevated blood sugar
(glucose) levels the result of which includes
the bodys inability to produce and use insulin
properly. Some of the effects of diabetes include
extreme tiredness, blurry vision, and bruises or
cuts that take a long time to heal. Diabetes can
result in loss of vision and even limbs in very
severe cases. Regular exercise, a healthy diet,
and adequate sleep will help you reduce the risk
of developing diabetes, as it much more common in
occurring in adults who suffer from weight issues.
