6. Obesity and Cardiac Diseases
Obesity can change human cholesterol levels. We know that obesity can cause a spike in bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but it can also lower good high-density lipoproteins (HDL) cholesterol, HDL cholesterol is important for removing unwanted cholesterol and working to reduce the risk for heart disease.
It can cause your blood pressure increase. Obese individuals require larger amount of blood to supply oxygen and nutrients to their bodies which causes an increase in blood pressure, and also require more pressure to move this blood around. High blood pressure is also a cause of heart attack, which are sadly more common for obese individuals.
