Obesity To Cancer

By Rey Vetangelo


Obesity is as a social and cultural trend is increasing at an alarming rate in the United States. Studies show that over half the adult population of our country is overweight or obese. What is even more disturbing is that many of these individuals are developing chronic and even terminal illnesses that are exacerbated by their excess weight.

Described by the Mayo Clinic as "having an excessive amount of body fat," adult obesity is an epidemic that, in recent decades has begun to go pandemic. The health problems associated and complicated by obesity are varied and include respiratory problems, heart problems, diabetes, and cancer, all of which have the potential to be fatal.

As mentioned, the microbes in your gut help your body produce energy from the food you eat. Therefore, this bacteria culture in your stomach is affected by what you eat-if you eat more of one type of food, your body will develop microbes that feed off things in that type of food.

As an individual's weight increases, their risk for these diseases increases as well. Healthy diet and making choices to be active can significantly reduce your risk of developing any of these serious health problems. Eating well and exercising also works to help you live a longer, happier life without having to worry about disease.

In a recent study, researchers bred mice in a sterile environment, and then introduced two different bacteria cultures into the mice: one from a slim person and one from an obese person. The mice that received the culture from the slim person didn't gain weight, and the one that received the culture from the obese person did. The microbes are the key.

When we look at how to encourage a healthy culture of these gut microbes, we have to ask ourselves exactly how it's done. But the answer isn't that difficult: you feed them. When researchers let the two different sets of mice mix together in this study, the ones with the obesity-related microbes quickly grew a much better culture of microbes, and lost a lot of their weight.

The short answer is yes. Really when we look at all of the things that obesity does we can see that it all comes down to balance. We need to maintain a balance in our bodies if we want them to be running to their maximum proficiency. There are too many people who think that this balance really doesn't matter but if you look at it what other things does obesity cause?

Your risk of developing cancer is dependent on a variety of factors including genetics, diet, and overall health. This means that you can keep yourself low-risk by staying healthy, active and within a normal weight range for your age, gender, and height. Cancer is a scary word and one that you never want to hear from the mouth of your physician.
