Time is an important part of the nature of lots of weight-related health problems. This means that sometimes it can take a long time for the more serious symptoms to start showing up. However, the stage is certainly set and processes are put into motion during the early years when a child is obese. Even so, kids usually don't have as many medical problems result from obesity because they are still young. But the condition in and of itself is definitely a risk factor for later on when adult sized conditions and problems develop. Some of the most severe problems are diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, liver disease, heart disease and stroke.
The obese child is now facing a harrowing path toward insane health issues. One example of this is fatty liver disease which is an incredibly common liver condition. A while ago most people figured that alcoholism and sclerosis were the primary causes of liver problems. However, we now know that it is long term obesity that most greatly affects fatty liver disease. What usually exacerbates the overall problem with the liver is the simple fact that obese people have severely dysfunctional metabolism. Your liver helps things more by acting as the detoxifying agent to rid your body of anything that is not good for it. This, then, adds extra pressure to the other systems of children and teenagers who suffer from obesity. Obesity also causes specific gender related problems especially in young girls who are going through puberty (or have gotten past it). Women and girls who are obese are, for example, prone to problems with their menstrual cycles. This is a problem because the body has lots of interference in its normal hormone production. The larger effect is to cause all kinds of problems with the girl's menstrual cycle. Obesity contributes to these problems for women. What is also commonly seen as a result of this is for the obese female to essentially become sterile if the interference is significant. But also consider that if there is hormone disruption, then what is the impact on the rest of the female bodily processes that require hormones? The human body requires its hormone production to be normal in order to keep the body's metabolism functioning properly.
You already know that there is a horrible social stigma that gets attached to kids and teens who are obese. Going to school every day must be something on par with being tortured for these kids. A person who endures this kind of constant psychological warfare can become scarred for life. It is also important to note that each person is going to respond to this differently. The ripple effects from this can be large and serious and it is important to get obese teens and kids and adults into counseling so that they can properly deal with the effects of these kinds of things.
If you are a teen or adult who suffers from obesity, it is important to talk to someone who is informed and qualified to help you with your condition. You need to be informed about what makes your condition happened. Thankfully, there is something real that you can do about it; after all, you're never too late to try to get back to good health.
