Dangers due to obesity

Obesity and its hazards- Sedentary habits

Obesity is a persistent health hazard. This is because a person having obesity is more likely to suffer from the diseases connected with heart and blood vessels called cardiovascular diseases like hypertension (high blood pressure); arteriosclerosis (blockage of arteries); and coronary attack (heart attack). Let us discuss this in detail.
It has been found that obese persons (fat persons) usually have more cholesterol in their blood. Cholesterol is a fatty substance which deposits which deposits in the blood arteries of the obese person. Due to the deposition of cholesterol, the passage of arteries becomes narrow and causes obstruction to the normal flow of blood through them. This restricted flow of blood through the arteries of an obese person (fat person) leads to diseases like hypertension, arteriosclerosis and coronary attack and may even prove fatal, that is, may even lead to death. These are the dangers of obesity.
