Carrying all that extra weight puts a gravely strain on the heart and other organs. It not only contributes to the arthritis and sleep apnea, it is a minor hazard compared to the complex and deceitful damage wrought by the oily, yellowish globs of fat that wraps human bodies like never before.
Fat tissues are not just a depot; in fact it is an alarm to other parts of our body. It is now recognized to be the body's biggest endocrine organ, and its sheer volume is impressive even in normal size people.

Undeniably, weight increases blood pressure. More weight also means the extra force needed to push blood through more blood vessels that is required to nourish the extra flesh. Fat triggers high blood pressure by narrowing the blood vessels in several chemical ways. It produces a substance called angiotensinogen that is a powerful constrictor and stimulates the sympathetic nerves to squeeze the circulatory system.
