        Dangers of being Overweight

　　體重超重的危害

　　Some of the dangers of being overweight include developing:

　　體重超重的危害包括以下幾個方面：

　　* High Blood Pressure: When you have excess body fat, your body retains sodium. When your body retains sodium, blood volume increases and blood pressure rises. High blood pressure causes your heart to work harder, which is dangerous for the heart.

　　高血壓：當有過多的脂肪時，身體里會保留鈉。身體保留鈉時，血液容量增加，同時血壓上升。高血壓引起心臟工作負擔加重，對心臟產生危害。

　　* Diabetes: Obesity is the leading cause of type 2 diabetes. Excess fat makes your body resistant to insulin. When your body is resistant to insulin, your cells can't get the energy they need.

　　糖尿病：肥胖是產生2型糖尿病的主要原因。過多的脂肪使身體對胰島素產生抵抗力。當身體對胰島素產生抵抗力時，細胞便不能得到所需的能量。

　　* Stroke

　　中風

　　* Abnormal blood fats: A diet high in saturated fats increases the level of LDL (bad) cholesterol.

　　血脂異常：高飽和脂肪酸的飲食能夠增加低密度脂蛋白膽固醇的程度。

　　* Osteoarthritis: Excess weight adds pressure to joints and wears away at the cartilage that protects them.

　　關節(jié)炎：額外的體重增加了關節(jié)的壓力，并且在軟骨保護時加劇了磨損。

　　* Sleep apnea: The more overweight a person is, the greater more severe the sleep apnea will be.

　　睡眠性呼吸暫停綜合癥：一個人越胖，該癥狀就會越嚴重。

　　* Cancer: Men and women who are overweight have a higher risk of developing many different kinds of cancer.

　　癌癥：無論男士還是女士，體重過重都會使得導致各種癌癥的風險加劇。

　　* Gallstones: Gallstones are more common in people who are overweight. The connection between gallstones and weight is unclear.

　　膽結石：膽結石在超重的人群中非常常見。膽結石和體重的關系還不明了。

　　* Weak Pelvic Muscles

　　骨盆肌肉弱

　　* Physical Discomfort: As fat accumulates, it crowds the space occupied by your organs. People who are overweight may have difficulty breathing, walking or sitting.

　　身體不適：脂肪積累會擠壓本應有器官占據的空間。超重的人會導致呼吸，走路或者坐的困難。
