It's Not About the Diet

Just being overweight causes problems all by itself. The obese person has a hard time finding clothes that fit. They can’t sit comfortably in restaurant booths, movie theater seats, or airline seats. It is not unheard of for an airline to require an obese person to purchase two seats because they cannot fit into one, and the overweight person almost always requires a seat belt extenstion. These are frustrating, annoying and downright embarrassing to have to deal with. But they do not pose problems that can cost an overweight person his or her life. The complications we’re talking about today are far more serious. Some of the things we’ll talk about are how obesity is linked to diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, depression, osteoarthritis, abnormal blood fats and cancer, just to name a few.
