Obesity To Cancer
By Rey Vetangelo
Weight loss surgery in Mexico, America and Canada is getting more and more common, but recent studies have shown an underlying cause to why people gain weight, and why some people gain more than others. Not just that, but the study also hints at some of the reasons that some people have a hard time keeping weight off.
Obesity is constantly increasing, especially in America. Cancer is also increasing just as much. So how can cancer be caused by obesity?
Even more problematic is the increase in childhood obesity. Being overweight or obese can lead to health problems regardless of your age. While a child's body and immune system is more adept at handling disease and physical distress, it does have limits. Children who are obese are more likely to remain obese as adults and subsequently run a higher risk of developing obesity related health issues.
For example, if a person eats a very healthy diet that includes a wide variety of foods, they will have a very rich and diverse bacterial culture. If they only eat hot dogs and chocolate, they will have a very narrow spectrum of microbes.
One of the most pervasive diseases of our day, cancer in its various forms is responsible for over half a million deaths in 2012 while an estimated 1.6 million new cases were reported in the same year. Obesity has been linked to cancers of the esophagus, pancreas, colon, rectum, breast, endometrium, kidney, thyroid, and gallbladder and it is suspected of being related to several other forms of cancer as well. As stated previously, your risk of contracting cancer increases as your weight increases, but why?
Fat cells can have a direct or indirect effect on tumor growth regulators. Once again these cells can throw off the balance of the body and thereby compromise the integrity of the defense system of the body.
To decrease your risk of developing cancerous cells in your body, the obvious choice is to lose weight. By managing your diet and incrementally increasing your physical activities, you can significantly reduce your risk of cancer. For some, weight loss surgery can provide a regulated way to lose weight and keep it off.
One of these is less energy. The less that you are moving the susceptible you are to blood problems and other issues that could easily transfer over to cancer in the end.
Although weight loss surgery in Mexico, America and Canada are growing in popularity, there is a much simpler way to lose weight and keep it off. It's not always the easiest thing to do, especially if you have a very hectic lifestyle, but it is possible for everyone to eat more fruits and vegetables and keep themselves at a healthy weight.
