When you lose weight, you solve the problem of other complications of weight gain which can shorten your life span. Systemic weight gain or obesity is associated with high blood sugar (insulin resistance syndrome) and high blood pressure in more than half of the cases. The seedbed for all these diseases is high blood acid which generates inflammation from excess accumulation of dangerous body fat. This fat also show in the liver as non-alcoholic fatty liver which further complicates your weight loss program since liver is the chief fat burning organ in the body.
Obesity leads to increase total peripheral resistance leading to increased resistance to blood flow. Moreover when there is excess systemic weight gain, the liver is working over time to save your vital organs to keep you alive. It does this by storing away the excess fat around the blood vessels to preserve these important organs. Ironically, you are as healthy or as old as your arteries. Thus, obese people die of cardiovascular disease; so are diabetics.
Obesity also puts pressure on the pancreas leading to insulin resistance and chronic blood sugar elevation or what is known as prediabetes. Insulin resistance or syndrome X is a good of symptom complex consisting of obesity in 80% of cases, raised triglycerides, high LDL (the so called bad cholesterol), low HDL (the good cholesterol), high total cholesterol and systemic hypertension. Of course with raised blood glucose level usually above 100 mg/dl.
When you embark on a program to lose weight by losing unwanted fat, most of these parameters improve. The weight loss program must involve a comprehensive nutrition therapy that involve introduction of green leafy vegetables, green super foods like cereal grasses, low glycemic index foods, detoxification and wise combination of supplements like essential omega-3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid, digestive enzymes and structured exercise. All inflammatory foods like processed foods, fried foods, dairy products, wheat of all kinds, barley, dead animal flesh, refined grains, sugars of all kinds and rancid fats (hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, margarine) and high fructose corn syrups.
