Stroke- Obesity is the number one cause for arteriosclerosis, or plainly the build up of fatty deposits in your arteries. This makes blood unable to flow freely and is associated with the increased risk of blood clotting. When your arteries supplying blood to the brain get blocked; it could result in a stroke.

Cancer- Excess body fat encourages the production of hormones insulin and estrogen, which increases the division of cells. It increases the creation of adipose tissue to store more fat. The faster the cell divides the more the chances are of developing cancerous cells. This was revealed in a new research recently.

Varicose Veins- Our leg and thigh muscles helps the heart in the circulation of blood. They are involved in pumping blood to the heart against gravity. If you have a large abdomen, the pressure on these muscles will increase in doing their job. This would damage the valves involved in this job, causing swelling, and thickening of skin.

High Blood Pressure- Age and the body mass index are the strongest indicators of high blood pressure. High blood pressure can lead to other diseases such as heart attacks.

Diabetes- The number 3 killer in the US. It is well known that 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are obese. This is due to the wrong food they intake. Food on the higher scale of glycemic index and glycemic load is the main reason for this. High glycemic foods are broken down faster and absorbed to the blood stream. This increases the blood glucose level faster. The additional amounts are converted to body fat and stored in the body. This is done by the hormone named as Insulin. When the body cannot produce enough Insulin to deal with the excess glucose diabetes occurs.
