    Obesity and Psychology



Obese people certainly have many disadvantages over normal people, but there are a lot of psychological misconceptions about fat people among which some serious myth are : fat people must die from a heart attack, they eventually have a high blood pressure, they must develop diabetes etc. These are not true according to scientific analysis and as far as previous records are concerned.

Obesity and Heart Disease

In the United States, while there are more overweight and obese individuals, deaths from cardiovascular disease are actually less common (Erdman Nothing To Lose 15). Being fat does not promote bad heart health; there is a particular lifestyle and certain unhealthy weight range that can lead to unhealthy hearts. The American Heart Association (AHA) publishes guidelines for avoiding this unhealthy lifestyle. It is important to eat with a good nutritional sense and to eat a variety of foods. Eating nutritionally sound includes eating less fat, cholesterol, and sodium, and eating more complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber. Only 30% or less of any single day's calories should come from fat, and only 8-10% should come from saturated fatty acids.



You should consume less than 300 mg/d of cholesterol in a given day and less than 2.4 g/d of sodium. In addition, not smoking, consuming alcohol in moderation, and participating in physical activity and yoga or pranayama definitely lowers the risk of heart disease. Fat people can adhere to all of these guidelines with the same ease as thin people.

Obesity and Blood Pressure

Obesity does not make a person's blood pressure higher. Summed up, if you're gonna get high blood pressure, you're gonna get it whether you're fat or not. In fact, when comparing a fat person to a thin person when both of them already have high blood pressure, the thin person is more likely to have a stroke or heart attack. It is also important to know that a higher blood pressure reading will register if the cuff you are wearing is too small for your arm. You can ask your doctor for a blood pressure cuff that is larger than the conventional size.

Obesity and Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease which afflicts 15.7 million people in the United States; that equals 5.9% of the population. 75 % of Indian women are obese and 58 % of Indian men are obese (International Day of Evaluation of Abdominal Obesity), means nearly 600 million people in India are obese whereas the percentage of the population with diabetes in India and Southeast Asia as a whole is around 15 percent means nearly 200 million within which the reason of 13.3 million cases remain undiagnosed per year in India. So, it can not be ignored that obesity is not one of the cause of diabetes.

Each day 2,200 people are diagnosed with diabetes. There is no denying that diabetes is a serious disease, but there are groups of people who are actually more likely to contract it compared to the lump sum of all fat people. African-Americans are 1.7 times more likely to have diabetes compared to non-Hispanic whites. Hispanics and Native Americans are also more likely than non-Hispanic whites to have diabetes. The elderly are also at a greater risk. Half of all the cases of diabetes occur in people over the age of 55. Diabetes is a disease that affects the way that the body produces and recognizes insulin, which is a hormone that helps to convert sugar, starches, and other foods into energy. The definitive cause of diabetes is unknown. There are two types of diabetes, type I and type II. People who have diabetes type I do not produce any insulin at all, and they need to have daily injections of insulin in order to survive. Type I accounts for only 5-10% of all cases. People who have diabetes type II have a metabolic disorder; either their bodies do not produce enough insulin or it does not use the insulin it produces correctly. (American Diabetes Association) An unhealthy lifestyle and somehow heredity can contribute to a higher risk for developing diabetes type II, but being fat is not necessarily a part of that lifestyle.





Obesity and Married Life

Married life is not affected by the fact that whether you are fat or not, but it depends on mutual understanding and leading healthy lifestyle. If you are fat, be aware not to make your child fat. From the very starting take care of your child's health. Don't let him or her feel the problems that you have come across. Remember, health is wealth.
