      Why is obesity easily caused? coronary heart disease

      Obesity increases the burden on the heart and increases the total blood volume, which is the main cause of coronary heart disease.

      The normal human heart is like a water pump, constantly contracting and relaxing to maintain the circulation of blood. When the total amount of blood in the human body increases, the workload of the heart will increase. Obese people store too much fat in their blood, so the total blood volume increases accordingly. In order to adapt to this state, the heart will increase its contraction force accordingly. When the heart is overwhelmed, it can no longer pump blood effectively, causing blood to accumulate in the cardiovascular system. In severe cases, obvious heart failure may even occur.

      Therefore, the first reason why obese people increase their cardiac load is that obese people increase their blood volume. Obese people are prone to high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, high blood viscosity and diabetes. These complications can further affect the heart and lead to coronary heart disease. Therefore, obese people are prone to angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and even sudden death.

      Why is obesity likely to cause gallstones?

      Gallstones refer to stones originating in the gallbladder and bile duct system, and often coexist with cholecystitis. disease The interaction creates a vicious cycle, causing stones to continue to grow and complications to occur.

      The formation of gallstones is closely related to obesity, because the formation of gallstones is related to factors such as increased cholesterol concentration in bile, gallbladder emptying disorders, and infection. Under normal circumstances, cholesterol, cholates and phospholipids in bile will maintain a certain balance, so that cholesterol is in a supersaturated and dissolved state in proportion. However, when the concentration of cholesterol in bile increases, the proportion of bile components changes, and the cholesterol in bile will precipitate out, forming stones with cholesterol as the main component.

      Because the cholesterol concentration in the blood of obese people increases, the cholesterol secreted by the liver must increase. After the cholesterol content in the bile increases and reaches a certain concentration, the cholesterol will precipitate, causing cholestasis, increased viscosity, and the formation of stones. Once stones in the gallbladder are formed, bile excretion is blocked, and the stones stimulate the gallbladder wall, leading to complications such as cholecystitis. Some experts have predicted that obesity will male The risk of developing gallstones is twice as high as for people of normal weight, and female The risk of gallstones in obese people is three times that of normal people, so people must not take obesity lightly, nor should they wait until they have gallstones before thinking about losing weight.

      Why obesity can easily cause stroke

      Stroke is one of the three major diseases that threatens humans the most. It includes ischemic cerebrovascular disease and hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease. Obesity is one of the main factors causing stroke. Its pathogenesis is very simple. The increase in lipids in the blood of obese people leads to atherosclerosis, hypertension, and finally the occurrence of cerebral stroke.

      It is very difficult for obese people to recover after suffering a stroke. The main reasons are:

      1. Obesity has higher blood lipids and blood viscosity, and stroke treatment can completely unblock blood vessels.

      2. Because obese people are overweight, nerve The conduction is slow, the neurotrophic deficiency of the limb on the hemiplegic side is insufficient, and coupled with the effect of gravity, the limb recovers slowly.

      3. Due to the psychological barriers of obese people, when there is pain in the limbs, there will be a natural contraction movement, making it difficult to relieve the tight skin. Patients usually do not like to exercise. After a stroke, the opportunity to move is greatly reduced, and there are certain obstacles in the recovery of limb activities.

      In short, in order to make obese stroke patients recover as soon as possible, on the one hand, they must strengthen drug treatment, on the other hand, they must adjust their diet and do their best to function exercise , which is also beneficial to the patient’s recovery.
