Fat Women Cancer Potentially Affected

Recently, a study in America, published in a journal of obstetrics and gynecology, said that obesity has the potential to increase the risk of various cancers. And even at risk of death for patients with cancer. Unfortunately, not many women who know and understand this. “Many women are not aware of information about being overweight and cancer risk. Related, a worrisome thing is the ferocity of the womb and endometrial cancer or cancer of the uterine lining,” said Dr. Pamela T Soliman, one of the researchers from the Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. “It’s supposed to educate our patients better,” he added. Aacording to the researchers, women who are overweight (overweight) is more at risk four times greater in cancer cervix. While women at risk of obesity than six-fold, they are also high potential of breast cancer and colon cancer Research conducted with his colleague Dr Pamela involve women educated, university graduate and specialist programs. Around 1545 participants were selected, 28 percent of them have the ideal body weight, 24 percent of excess weight (overweight), and 45 percent obese. From the results of research notes that only 42 percent of participants who know that obesity can increase the risk of endometrial cancer, and 53 percent who understands that bowel cancer may be related to obesity. While participants are aware that being overweight can increase the risk of breast cancer is only about 54 percent. Responding to this, Dr Pamela confessed concerned, because about 91 percent of them are insurance participants often to check up the doctor. “In fact, patients who routinely checks on doctors were not aware that obesity can increase the risk for them to get a variety of cancers,” she said softly.

Dreaded Disease Obesity

Research has shown obese (obesity) is likely to have diabetes, hypertension, stroke and heart attacks suffered 3 to 4 times compared with obesity.
In addition, it is also the danger of a narrowing of blood vessels are exposed to) osteoastritis (sore knee due to the effects of weight bearing joints of the body.
On the basis of the resulting risks, including obesity, dangerous diseases in the long term. However, the side effects of obesity is not known when they will arrive.
”I do not necessarily suffer, and this time also died quickly. There was a dramatic, yet “safe”. But most of the fat die young,”said Dr. Samuel Oetoro MS SpGK as reported by Tabloid Nova.
Dietitian Semanggi Specialist Clinic is an example of dying young artists of obesity Indonesia. Like a sumo wrestler in Japan rarely more than 40 years of age.
Obesity healthy life?
No.”Only with obesity is concerned, people have a higher risk of disease. In fact, obesity itself is not healthy,”he said.
If Samuel said, now sounding of the population, obesity is a disease, not a state. Unfortunately, so far overweight people have a way of thinking is wrong and underestimated the disease, because they still feel safe, and I think what is important, ill.
So what causes obesity? Consume in principle, according to Samuel, obesity in relation to the amount of food and the amount emitted in the form of balance.
In other words, people had become obese because of the food that has more activities than is consumed locally. Therefore, incoming calories as calories burned during the trip.
Moreover, if the quality of the diet, too bad. In other words, the right amount of fat consumed. However, diet and activity of two major factors in obesity.
Factors favoring the development of obesity may stem from hormonal, psychological, genetic, although non-genetic factors, adapted well to the cause of obesity, lifestyle.
The amount of calories you consume can affect obesity. Each 1 gram of fat contains 9 calories. Each 1 gram of carbohydrate contains 4 calories and 1 gram of protein contains 4 calories.
To gauge whether the calories consumed in one day is too much or not to count how many grams of carbohydrates fat and protein consumed during the day. Each multiplied by the number of calories they contain.
”If one day you eat 300 grams of fat alone, there are 2700 calories from fat. This amount is huge,”said Samuel.
The amount of calories needed by gender, age and activities. Women workers need 1500 – 1800 calories per day and men require active 2000 – 2500 calories per day.
It would be dangerous if consumed over this amount, while the activity only slightly. Unfortunately, the number of obese people in Indonesia is very large, and from year to year, continues its expansion, especially children.
Numbers”certainly clear, but look at the mall, many children and adults who are overweight,”he said.
The number of people who suffer more than women because of menopause or during the seizure of more than 40 years, have a tendency to obesity, but it means that dominate in number.
According to Samuel, the number of obese people through a growing trend to life and the desire for more and has caused quite calm. For example, junk food snacks, because it’s convenient and fast, easy to move around to make it more like a car or a secretary and an employee of the office for something.
He added that obesity in children is essentially the same with obesity in adults. As children, including infants, body weight should start secure, not obesity.
Unfortunately, many parents believe, a large baby is cute, adorable and healthy. So I think what is important and eat a lot of overweight children. In fact, a healthy child, a child whose weight is ideal.
Remember,”a big baby is healthy or a sign of a carefree life. In children, obesity is a disease. If you are an overweight child was not proud, it was a mistake and should be aware of,”Samuel said firmly.
If children are overweight, start a narrowing of blood vessels of heart disease as a child. However, the weight of a normal child, depend on age and body size. At age 2 years old child, said Samuel, the normal weight of 15 kg.
In Indonesia,”obesity begins in children a great deal of suffering. Causes, patterns, and habits of life, foster parents,”he said.
The formula continues in children can cause obesity.
”The important thing is not the type of milk but the quantity. If the amount of demand is greater, may have a big”said Samuel.
Nutrition of children should also be mentioned. Unfortunately, because I was too lazy to cook and would like an internship, many parents give their children to eat junk food.
In addition, many sweets, chocolate, ice cream, cakes and food that takes a lot of sugar, mostly children, also has preferred to store fat in their bodies.
To eat after Samuel, sugary foods, as are not prohibited, provided that excessive and continuous. In addition, children are more computer games and Playstation games, moving less.
”In principle, should prevent the body from eating and obesity are compensated,”said Samuel.
The majority, which has developed and consumed by children, is given by the parent company. It should, since I was a child, the habit of eating healthy foods, including fruit and vegetables had.
Although children do not like it, parents should not hesitate to introduce healthy foods at an early age to train. If children do not like fruits and vegetables, Samuel suggested the dress to make the meal nicely shaped or transformed into other forms. For example, soccer balls with vegetables, star fruit, cut, shape, or pudding.
In this case, parents sued the intelligent creativity. If this is done, obesity in children will be avoided and overcome.
Both parents”can be great, but if lifestyle and children eat, well organized and able to be with due diligence, not overweight,”said Samuel.

Be careful, Obesity Anyone Can Threaten

Do not rush calm even if you are not currently overweight and obesity (overweight). Keep an eye on the size of waist circumference proportionately even your body and free from excess weight.

Why? The results of a study of the population in the U.S. for 30 years shows that 9 out of 10 men and 7 out of 10 women eventually overweight.

Half of the men and women who do not have a weight problem when young, even middle-aged, still end up having excess weight. One third of a quarter of women and men continue to grow even weight to overweight.

Everyone knows that overweight and obesity can cause various diseases. Obesity increases the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and arthritis. In addition, people who are overweight have a risk of high blood pressure and cholesterol that increase the potential for liver disease.

”You can not calm down because the risk of obesity always come to haunt,”said Ramachandran Vasan, an associate professor of medicine at Boston University who is lead author of this research paper.

He and other researchers studied data 4000 white adult population over the age of 30 years. When first observed, this research volunteers between the ages of 30 to 59 years. Their condition and then checked again every 4 years. At the end of the study, more than a third were overweight.

Overweight in this study is defined as the weight index value of more than 30. Typically used to measure the ratio between height and weight .

The findings, published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, Tuesday (4 / 10 in 2005), shows that obesity is a long term problem and the number of sufferers is more data than the results measured in a population at a given time.

”If mapped, 6 out of 10 people overweight and 1 in 3 people are overweight,”said Vasan.

Findings emphasize the importance of monitoring weight.

Dr. Elizabeth G. Nabel, director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute supporting this research states, these findings show that we can get the problem of overweight and obesity are serious in decades to come. If you do not fight continuously, will cause various health effects.

The number of deaths associated with obesity itself is still debated. For example, in the U.S.. In early 2005, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) U.S. states that obesity is only caused 25,814 deaths every year, or much smaller than the records of government agencies that reached 365 thousand.

On the other hand, some researchers do not agree with the conclusion that organizations representing the food and restaurant industries, which mentions that the disease-related by weight have been greatly exaggerated.

Responding to the Framingham study, Mark Vander Weg, a Mayo Clinic researcher who studied obesity, said that the research is one way to track a group of individuals in the long run.

Unfortunately this study did not involve a small number of people who have a very high risk of obesity. In addition, most middle aged people now have weight and obesity are not like the sample used in the study.

Although more research needs to be done in order to represent the population as a whole, at least this research into the early evidence is clearly to develop prevention and treatment strategies are needed.

Tomatoes Against Obesity

TomatoesTomatoes could be the key to staying slim, researchers believe, because it helps you feel fuller for longer, when incorporated in the diet.

Nutritionists have long recognized that vegetarians and other dietary trends that eat lots of fruits and vegetables are much more likely to be thin, as compared with those who follow a standard modern diet of highly processed foods.

Tomatoes are rich in a compound called lycopene, which scientists believe may help produce a greater feeling of satiety or fullness, as having the capacity to act on appetite hormones.

Researchers at the University of Reading in a small study obtained results that were statistically significant, “says Dr Julie Lovegrove, nutritional metabolism specialist who conducted the project.
