EFFECTS OF OBESITY

HEART STRAIN >>>The increased mass means the person’s heart has to work harder to pump more blood at a much harder rate throughout the body.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE >>>>>

These fats constrict the blood vessels, which means that the heart experiences difficulty in pushing blood through the vessels.

CARDIAC ARREST The heart stops through being overworked

STROKE• When high blood pressure occurs, strokes

follow Of every 100 people who have a stroke15 die (15%)

10 recover completely (10%)

25 recover with a minor impairment or disability (25%)

40 are left with a moderate to severe impairment (40%)

10 are so severely disabled they require long-term care (10%)

HEART ATTACK

• The plaque build up from the fat cause blood to build up, leading to a heart attack

Let’s look at some of the things that we consume that have hidden

sugar

Hidden sugar

• Each can of coke for 255mL, contains 26grams of sugar, which is equivalent to 10 sugar cubes.

Effects of Soda

• 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning all the sugar that is sent there into fat.

• 30 minutes: Your pupils dialate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. Preventing drowsiness

• 60 minutes: Sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish.

<<<< 40% more caffeine and 15% more sugar than coke

No Soda, then how about juice?

No? 15 grams Of sugar?

I only have 99 cents.. How about Arizona?

No? Okay, I’ll drink flavored water, vitamin water is still good for you

right?

Let’s look at how much sugar, chocolate milk has.

ALSO• The amount of sugar, all the students of a school consume in a week at

school is more than enough to fill a school bus.

So how much sugar does chocolate milk have?

• Chocolate milk of this size contains 25 grams of sugar.

Wait, isn’t that how much 255mL, of coke had?!

Nah, coke had 26 grams.

So how about fast food?Because of it's affordability, taste and

convenience, we still make it a part of our diet almost every chance we get.

FAST FOOD = Trans and Saturated fat

>>> High cholesterol

>>> Hardened Arteries

>>> Leads to Heart Attacks as well as Strokes

Something you probably didn’t know

Fatty food take a toll on short term memory

To determine the effect of a fatty diet on memory and muscle performance, researchers studied 32 rats that were fed low-fat rat chow and trained for two

months to complete a challenging maze.

However• Then half the rats were switched to high-fat

rat chow

• The rats who stayed with their regular food continued the same high level of performance on the maze, finding six or more treats before making a mistake.

The rats that changed however, were unable to complete this maze

Extreme Cases

An 8 year old boy, weighing 219 pounds
