What Happens To Your Body When You're Overweight (by 5 or 50 pounds)

The American and the world's population are in danger.  Not due to warfare or famine, but to complications related to being overweight or obese. 

In America alone, the CDC has delivered a stern message about the state of our health.

Our society has become an obesogenic society.  Diets are full of unhealthy foods.  We are less physically active then 20 years ago.  And for some reason we can’t put our forks down, leading to increased food intake.  

These three characteristics have increased your risk factors, especially our children's.

Twenty years ago, overweight or obese individuals were in the minority.  Today, healthy weight individuals are the minority. 

Find it hard to believe?  Check out these statistics on what being overweight or obese has done, globally and locally.

• America has the largest population of overweight and obese individuals.

• 33% of our population are obese - that is a 60% increase from 20 years ago.

• 1 in 6 children are obese.

• There are over 300,000 obesity-related deaths per year, second only to tobacco-related deaths.

• Two-thirds, or 167 million Americans, are overweight.  One-third of those individuals are clinically obese.

These are sobering statistics and make for a very sad state for Americans and the world.  For hundreds, if not thousands, of years people understood the importance of healthy eating, physical activity, and calorie restriction which kept us fit and healthy. 

This all changed with the introduction of processed foods loaded with sugar and extra calories. 

Being as little as 10, 20, or 30 pounds overweight, you are putting your body at increased risk.  Confused?  Let me explain.

Being overweight, according to some research studies, can start the process in your body which could lead to future complications.   You are incubating unhealthy conditions, which puts the brakes on weight loss and healthy living.

Here are the top three reasons why being overweight is ruining your health and fitness goals.

Your Fat Cells Are Becoming Unhealthy

Healthy fat cells, research suggests, could release hormones that control metabolism and energy expenditure.   Having a little extra padding begins the process of turning healthy fat cells into “sick” fat cells.

When fat cells are healthy, they release a hormone called Leptin. 

And according to research, Leptin tells the brain when you are full.  Sick fat cells release Leptin, but that Leptin is unable to tell your brain you are full.  This results in increased appetite, increased cortisol levels, and resistance to good hormones. 

One amazing function of fat cells is the ability to store fat from your blood.  When your body becomes resistant, the fat cell becomes inflamed preventing it from storing fatty acids.

This also affects Adiponectin, which keeps your body fat levels low by breaking down fatty acids. 

Without adequate Adiponectin, your body is unable to breakdown fat in the blood, resulting in the fat landing in other organs and sites on your body.

Increased Inflammatory Response

Clinical research suggests that the start of certain diseases begins as an inflammatory response.  It could happen anywhere in the body. 

And when inflammation targets your fat cells, you could have a reduced ability to store fat. 

Sometimes inflammation is good for us. 

It can help heal wounds by sending nutrients to the area.  However, when the inflammation response does not stop, it really, REALLY hurts your body.

However, when cells become inflamed, they can become resistant to the hormones that keep our fat cells healthy.   When cells become resistant to insulin and leptin, there are more fatty acids and sugar in the bloodm, suggests certain studies. 

This leads to the increased possibility of developing metabolic syndrome. 

And it also raises cortisol levels in the body.  Increased cortisol leads to higher fat levels. 

Increased fat stores increase your disease risk and inflammation in the body. 

Increased Disease Risk

Packing on a few extra pounds increases your risk of developing diseases. 

Research shows that being overweight could lead to metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and heart disease. 

In fact, overweight and obesity levels have created a sharp rise in diabetes.  Eighteen million people in America suffer from diabetes and 221 million in the world. 

Plus, overweight individuals have an increased risk of developing diseases than their healthy weight counterparts.  

Heart disease has also risen dramatically.  Heart disease could be one of the most preventable diseases.   Overweight individuals have a 10-50% chance of dying from obesity-related conditions, with most coming from heart disease.

Chronic disease can possibly lead to premature death. 

Increasing your physical activity, watching your diet and the amount of calories you eat, could eventually lead to lower fat stores and decreased disease risk. 

Making drastic lifestyle changes to curb your weight gain, and return you to a healthy weight, reduces your risk factors for developing chronic diseases.  

 Research suggests that Adiponectin levels drop when you are overweight.  By shedding the extra weight, you could help your body raise Adiponectin levels.    

Losing weight also helps your body release the right hormones, at the right time, which helps you burn more fat.

It is not too late to change for the better and reverse sick fat cells and make them healthy again.

Nutrients found in LeptiSense could kick start your body for weight loss.  

This may reverse your fat cells, letting them thrive and function to keep your weight and metabolism in check!
