why run? (the concluding part)

1.      1.      Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is when tissue that protects the joints wears away.  Common areas are the knees, hips, and lower back. Extra weight can put more pressure and wear on joints, causing pain.

2.       Sleep Apnea

A person who has sleep apnea may have more fat stored around the neck. This can narrow the airway, making it hard to breathe.



3.       Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome

Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is a breathing disorder that affects some obese people.
OHS can lead to serious health problems and may even cause death.

4.       Reproductive Problems

Obesity can cause menstrual issues and infertility in some women.




5.       Gallstones

Gallstones are hard pieces of stone-like material that form in the gallbladder. They're mostly made of cholesterol. Gallstones can cause stomach or back pain.

6.       Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

The BMI correlates with the degree of liver damage, that is, the greater the BMI the greater the liver damage.


The idea of this post is not to scare people, but to make us realise that we need to take action. It’s not just about fitting into a size 8 or 10 dress, it’s about staying healthy. I hope you’re all ready to take on the challenge

Talk to you soon… Have a great week

ADVICE OF THE DAY:  Avoid/Limit fast food junk
