Diabetes

Due to obesity, you may face the problem of diabetes. When you are overweight, your muscle and tissue cells become more resistant to your insulin hormone. Insulin is the hormone that controls blood sugar. If insulin activity is affected for a long time, glucose in the blood cannot be used normally and blood sugar goes out of control.

Heart disease

Obesity may increase the risk of heart disease. Due to obesity, cholesterol starts accumulating in the blood vessels. Plaque accumulation in the arteries obstructs blood flow. This puts pressure on the heart. Due to this, there remains a risk of heart attack.

High bp

Due to excess weight, you may suffer from high BP. When fat increases in the body, your blood vessels have to circulate more blood. Due to this, your heart has to work harder and thus you can become a victim of high blood pressure.

Stroke

There is a risk of stroke in overweight people. Due to excess fat in the body, the functioning of blood vessels gets affected, due to which the blood supply to the brain gets disrupted. In this condition, there is a risk of stroke.
