The overweight and obesity

It is an excessive accumulation of fat that can be harmful to your health. A simple

way to measure obesity is the body mass index, on the other hand a person with a
body mass index equal to or greater than 30 is considered obese and with a body
mass index equal to or greater than 25 is considered with overweight; Moreover, the
overweight and obesity are risk factors for many chronic diseases as diabetes,
cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Which are the common consequences of overweight and obesity for health?

A high body mass index is an important risk factor for non-communicable diseases,
like the following:

Cardiovascular diseases (mainly heart diseases and cardiovascular

accidents that were the leading cause of death in 2012).
Diabetes and disorders of the locomotor system.
Some cancers (Endometrium, ovaries, prostate, liver, kidneys and
gallbladder)

How can overweight and obesity be reduced?

Take at least 2 liters of water a day without sugar.

It is a preferable to drink a natural juice than a soda, the first one has more
fiber.
Eat 5 times a day: Breakfast, collation morning, food, collation evening and
dinner.
Do not at fried foods.
Go to the doctor to check your health.
Make at least 60 minutes of exercise a day.

Anorexia

It is a serious mental health condition, in addition to an eating disorder where a

person keeps their body weight as low as possible, people with anorexia usually do
this by restricting the amount of food they eat, making themselves vomit, and
exercising excessively, the condition often develops out of an anxiety about body
shape and weight that originates from a fear of being fat or a desire to be thin. Many
people with anorexia have a distorted image of themselves, thinking y they're fat
when they're not thus.

The person with anorexia, most often a girl or young woman, initially begins dieting
to lose weight. Over time, the weight loss becomes a sign of mastery and control.
The drive to become thinner is thought to be secondary to concerns about control
and fears relating to one's body hence the person with anorexia.

People with anorexia often don't seek help, perhaps because they're afraid or don't
recognize they have a problem. Many have hidden their condition for a long time
sometimes years.

The most important first step is for someone with anorexia to realize they need help
and want to get better. Before anorexia can be treated, a physical, psychological and
social needs assessment will need to be carried out by a GP or an eating disorders
specialist. This will help them work out a suitable care plan. In most cases, treatment
will involve a combination of psychological therapy and individually tailored advice
on eating and nutrition to help gain weight safely.

Vigorexia

Muscular dystrophy or inverted anorexia consists of an eating disorder that, like

anorexia, appears as a consequence of a distorted body image that can become
somewhat pathological. It usually affects males who perceive themselves as "too
thin" and with insufficient muscle mass; because of this can lead to abandoning
social relationships and neglecting other aspects of their life, to devote all their time
to training.

The most common causes:

School & Family Problems: Intimidation and teasing on the part of their
classmates, the family's lack of harmony which leads to the aesthetic focus
and negative influence of people promoting an idealized body.
Physiological problems: They are associated with disorders in the hormones
and mediators of nervous transmission of the Central Nervous System.

Symptoms or warning signs

Continuous and exaggerated physical exercise

Reject fatty foods
Ingest lots of protein and carbohydrates

The abuse of protein and anabolic complexes derived from testosterone, so as to

these substances can have side effects such as impotence, acne, enlarged
mammary glands, hair loss, mood swings, heart problems, among others. Besides
it affects mainly young men, between the ages of 18 and 35 years. Its incidence is
four out of ten thousand people.
Bulimia

It is an eating disorder in which a person has regular episodes of eating a very large
amount of food and during which the person feels a loss of control over eating. The
person then uses different ways, such as vomiting or laxatives, to prevent weight
gain. Many people with bulimia have anorexia nervosa.

Many more women than men have bulimia. The disorder is most common in teenage
girls and young women. The exact cause of bulimia is unknown. Genetic,
psychological, family, society, or cultural factors may play a role. Bulimia is likely due
to more than one factor.

With bulimia, eating binges may occur as often as several times a day for many
months. The person often eats large amounts of high-calorie foods, usually in secret.
After these episodes, the person feels a lack of control over the eating.

Excessive food intake leads to self-disgust, which causes laxatives to prevent weight
gain. Laxatives may include:

Forcing oneself to vomit

Excessive exercise
Using enemas, or diuretics (water pills)

Often brings a sense of relief.

Bulimia can be dangerous. It may lead to serious health problems over time. For
example, vomiting over and over can cause:

Stomach acid in the esophagus (the tube that moves food from the mouth to
the stomach). This can lead to permanent damage of this area.
Tears in the esophagus
Dental cavities
Swelling of the throat.
