Who would want to be called fatty?

Well. No one wants to be called fatty and more importantly noone want to be unhealthy right?

Did you know? Andy Rhine of California was weighing about 480 kgs when he breathed his last at 35 years of age. He was seen on his couch in his apartment and was then shifted to hospital after calling a crane to lift him to hospital bed from his apartment where he died. Itseems his organs were crushed because of his body weight and his heart became so tired and could not cope up with pumping blood into every nooky and cranny of his monstrous body. It stopped beating at 35 itself.

Priscilla Stone weighed 550 kg and she had to depend on a truck for transporting her. All things in her home were tailored including the chairs, beds, doorways...even the restroom stuff) to suit her big plus size.

Pick your jaw up from off that floor and think a while. If these stories have been your nightmares, well you are certainly not alone.

Obesity causes so many side effects; trauma, anxiety, depression and plays a havoc with mind. It simply implies that there is nothing else thats worthier than a slim and prim proper body. And. I would say that only a miniscule per cent of population fall in this standard.

And did I tell you that obesity will also push a person into destructive eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia? You know how fat people are a target of ridicule and mockery and butt of jokes amongst friends, society and even in pictures.

What about the numerous health disorders that are caused by obesity such as the coronary artery disease, arthritis, diabetes hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and hyoertriglyceridemia? And did you know that many researchers linked causes of some cancers to obesity?
