With the help of Lee Sung-hoon, deputy director of the 365mc hospital in Seoul, three symptoms in daily life that can be caused by obesity are summarized.
◇Suspect 'reflux esophagitis' if it comes up often after eating
Do you experience 'symptoms that keep getting fed up'? If your chest hurts like it burns after a meal and you get sick, you can suspect reflux esophagitis. Reflux esophagitis is a disease that causes heartburn, chest tightness, body aches, neck foreign matter, voice changes, and chest pain due to the acid flowing back into the esophagus.
Excessive accumulation of fat increases abdominal pressure, which promotes the symptoms of gastric contents reflux into the esophagus. In particular, the risk is higher for people who have a lifestyle that often eats late at night. Vice-President Lee said, `If you start to feel sick as you gain weight, you should stop eating late at night to relieve abdominal obesity""Mild aerobic exercise and diet control along with appropriate treatment are essential" he stressed.
◇ Be careful about arthritis if it is 'spider body type'
People who weigh a lot are more likely to feel pressure on their joints. The upper body obesity type, which has thick abdomen and forearms, but thin thighs and calves, should be especially careful about knee joint damage. In the case of obesity, excessive pressure is applied to the knee joint, which promotes cartilage wear. The increasing number of young knee arthritis patients is also associated with this.
"However, if you have already gained a lot of weight, it is easy to feel a burden on your knees and back if you exercise too much," Vice-President Lee said. "It is better to gradually increase the intensity and exercise amount while regularly performing low-carb high-protein meals and aerobic exercises that do not burden your knees and back."
◇ Obesity is the cause of snoring that wakes people up
If you gain weight, not only me but also those around you may feel uncomfortable. This is because of snoring that wakes you up like a deep night's honey. As you gain weight, your breathing sound increases and it adversely affects your lung function.
Obesity puts pressure on the chest and abdomen, limiting the normal movement of the diaphragm. This causes snoring and sleep apnea, and interferes with good sleep, resulting in daytime sleepiness, narcolepsy, and chronic fatigue. If it is prolonged, it can cause a lack of oxygen in the body in the process of suffocating while sleeping, which can even promote complications such as cardiovascular disease, dementia, and diabetes.
Fortunately, these symptoms can be alleviated just by losing weight. Weight loss is actually recommended when treating snoring and sleep apnea.
Vice-President Lee said "Obesity is considered simply the cause of severe disease, but it can cause various discomforts in daily life."For health management, it is necessary to pay attention to weight management, and if it is difficult to manage it alone, efforts to actively solve the situation with the help of people around you or experts are needed."
