The Relationship Between Obesity Heart Disease and Diabetes A Comprehensive Study.

Thought I’d be mean today seeing that it is the 13th and all.

By Steven M. Haffner - Department of Medicine and Clinical Epidemiology, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas.

The prevalence of obesity and diabetes has reached pandemic proportions. Obesity, particularly in association with high waist circumference and high BMI, is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and diabetes. Several large studies have shown that marginal (5 lb) to moderate (11 to 22 lb) weight gain in adulthood (age 20 to 50 years) increases the risk of chronic disease and negatively affects CHD risk status. The metabolic syndrome, a clustering of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors that includes abdominal obesity, is increasing among adults and children and is strongly associated with the development of diabetes and CHD. Recent evidence suggests that elevated liver enzymes, an indicator of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, may comprise an additional component of the metabolic syndrome and may serve as a surrogate marker for type 2 diabetes, particularly if used in conjunction with C-reactive protein.

Prevent diabetes and heart disease and you can add 10 years to your lifespan, simple.

How do you do this, read this blog it is full of relevant info, else improve your diet, exercise, have regular sex and practice stress relief.

clipped from www.americustimesrecorder.com Diabetes — sound the alert! Heart Disease and Stoke: People with diabetes have extra reason to be mindful of heart and blood vessel disease. Diabetes carries an increased risk for heart attack, stroke and complications related to poor circulation. The American Diabetes Association will “sound the alert” about diabetes on the 20th Annual American Diabetes Alert Day, Tuesday, March 25. American Diabetes Alert Day is a one-day call to action to encourage those at risk for developing type 2 diabetes or those with loved ones at risk to take the Diabetes Risk Test (http://www.diabetes.org/risk-test.jsp)and, if they score high, to schedule an appointment to see their health care provider.

Hi there,

Today we live ignorant (in fear) of dreaded diseases e.g. heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, etc.

The great news is that the body has it’s own healing system and that unlike the other systems of our bodies on which the medical profession concentrates there is little publicity to this fact.

The fact is that there is little any medicine can do for you unless it is taken up by your body and transformed into a tool your bodies healing system can use to heal it self.

A simple example - think about an instance where you cut yourself and how your body actually healed the cut by fusing the skin together again.

Here’s the thought (fact) -

” A large amount of research is currently devoted to genetics, which seeks to link diseases to specific gene defects. Genetic defects are currently being blamed for most diseases not caused by external agents such as viruses, bacteria or injuries.

Although genetics certainly has it’s place in your health, global general health information reveals that bad genes do not cause most diseases in the world.

The most common diseases like arthritis, stroke, heart disease, high blood, pressure, stroke and cancer are more often than not the result of bad diet and unhealthy lifestyles, not bad genes.”

It makes you think doesn’t it?

Your body is designed to last for approximately 100 years but because of the way we abuse our bodies the burden of modern living takes it’s toll.

All I’m really trying to say here is that it is mostly in your hands, your decision.

Did you know that a large number of the dreaded diseases that humans get in the second half of their lives are lifestyle related, I know there are numerous other contributing factors like genes and chance?

But the evidence is stacking up in your favor if you are prepared to make the necessary lifestyle change, that is besides the fact that your quality of life will be tremendous.

If you need some motivation imagine your life as a mortally ill person unable to care for himself and ask yourself, do I want this?

Now picture yourself touring the world with your lover, you’re having so much fun exploring all those romantic places you never had time to visit, you feel fantastic you’re having the time of your life and at bedtime you are able to express your physical love.
