The Dangers of Obesity
Excess fat, a dynamic and harmful tissue, releases over 80 different peptides, enzymes, and hormones into the bloodstream, contributing to various health issues. These substances can elevate inflammation, leading to an increased risk of dementia, heart disease, strokes, and diabetes. Moreover, they enhance joint degeneration, amplify overall body pain, and heighten the likelihood of cancer.
As we age, our anabolic hormone production declines, along with metabolic and intracrine hormones, making it progressively challenging to shed excess fat. These hormonal shifts slow down our metabolism, reducing calorie burn and hindering the development of vital lean tissues, such as those in the brain, heart, lungs, cartilage, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and skin. Consequently, the body tends to accumulate fat instead of building lean tissues. Traditional approaches like simple diet and exercise prove ineffective, especially for individuals over 50.
