In #Premilife, we want to restore your #confidence and your ability to #PerformActivities and help you reach the standard of #living you truly deserve.
How a #patient responds #mentally to #diagnosis has a clear impact on their #physical prospects of #recovery. #Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
This #NewVision of #man recognizes the implicate order of our #universe in which each #person, each #cell, each #molecule, and each #electron are part of this efficient order and #energy harmony. #Premilife
#EnergyMedicine: the basis of the states of health and disease at the levels and the relationship of energy that each person has with their environment since everything in the universe are related to an energy network.
#NuclearInteractions are also responsible for a whole range of processes that occur in all #matter with #AtomicOrganization and, therefore, also in #man. #Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
Strong #NuclearEnergy is the force that forces #AtomicNuclei to remain united.That is to the quarks to each other and the neutrons and protons, these remain glued because the #StrongNuclear interaction forces them to it
The nuclei of the #atoms are formed by #protons and #neutrons, and these in turn by smaller #particles called #quarks. #Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
All #LivingBeings are made up of #atoms. Without them, #life would not exist as we know it. #Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
Every day we exchange matter and energy with our environment to #StayAlive. Throughout our lives from birth to death for the normal functioning of all our #VitalProcesses we need a supply and a constant balance of energy
We’re focusing on the energy of the body, and the energies of disease. #Premilife Dr.Ricardo Kotliroff
If you are a researcher, you are trying to figure out what the question is as well as what the answer is. Edward Witten
There was a long history of speculation that in quantum gravity, unlike Einstein’s classical theory, it might be possible for the topology of spacetime to change. Edward Witten
In string theory, the ‘Mind of God’ is cosmic music resonating in 11-dimensional hyperspace. Michio Kaku
In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play on vibrating strings; the universe is a symphony of strings. Michio Kaku
The universe, according to quantum physics, has no single past, or history. The fact that the past takes no definite form means that observations you make on a system in the present affect its past.” – Stephen Hawking
#QuantumBiology refers to applications of #QuantumMechanics and theoretical chemistry to biological objects and problems. Example of #QuantumPhenomena in #BiologicalSystems is the conversion of #ChemicalEnergy into motion
The intermediate level, the chords and tempos, has to do with how the biochemistry and biophysics are organized, arranged, played out in space and time to produce a creature who grows and divides and is. Ursula Goodenough
The biochemistry and biophysics are the notes required for life; they conspire, collectively, to generate the real unit of life, the organism. Ursula Goodenough
The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth. Niels Bohr
Your theory is crazy, but it’s not crazy enough to be true. Niels Bohr
Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real. Niels Bohr
No, no, you’re not thinking; you’re just being logical. Niels Bohr
Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it. Niels Bohr
Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe. Erwin Schrodinger
What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space. Erwin Schrodinger
I think I am intrigued by paradoxes. If something seems to be a paradox, it has something deeper, something worth exploring. Roger Penrose
Sometimes it’s the detours which turn out to be the fruitful ideas. Roger Penrose
The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless. Steven Weinberg
String theory-We know a lot of things, but what we don’t know is a lot more. Edward Witten
Spreading out the particle into a string is a step in the direction of making everything we’re familiar with fuzzy. You enter a completely new world where things aren’t at all what you’re used to. Edward Witten
If I take the theory, as we have it now, I would conclude that extra dimensions really exist. They’re part of nature. We don’t really know how big they are yet, but we hope to explore that in various ways. Edward Witten
But the beauty of Einstein’s equations, for example, is just as real to anyone who’s experienced it as the beauty of music. We’ve learned in the 20th century that the equations that work have inner harmony. Edward Witten
As for the forces, electromagnetism, and gravity, we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. Edward Witten
String theory is an attempt at a deeper description of nature by thinking of an elementary particle not as a little point but as a little loop of vibrating string. Edward Witten
“Quantum physics tells us that no matter how thorough our observation of the present, the (unobserved) past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.” Stephen Hawking,
“The atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts.” – Werner Heisenberg
“Not only does God play dice but… he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.” – Stephen Hawking
Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts. Albert Einstein
Education is not the learning of facts, it’s rather the training of the mind to think. Albert Einstein
What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right. Albert Einstein
A human being is part of a whole called by us the universe. Albert Einstein
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. Albert Einstein
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. Albert Einstein
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. Albert Einstein
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. Albert Einstein
“I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” Albert Einstein
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Albert Einstein
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein
“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” Albert Einstein
“Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” Albert Einstein
״I want to know how energy builds and allows life in your genes, molecules, mind, and spirit.״ – Dr. Ricardo Kotliroff
It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide and that people across the globe will enjoy its benefits for health promotion. Tu Youyou
The question is not whether but how do the actions of a given gene influence some interesting aspect of behavior. Jeffrey C. Hall
One sometimes finds what one is not looking for. Alexander Fleming
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas. Linus Pauling
Knowing how to calculate something is not the same as understanding it. Frank Wilczek
For me, the study of these laws is inseparable from a love of Nature in all its manifestations. Murray Gell-Mann
If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough problems. And that’s a big mistake. Frank Wilczek
Sometimes the probabilities are very close to certainties, but they’re never really certainties. Murray Gell-Mann
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein
“I have not yet lost a feeling of wonder, and of delight, that this delicate motion should reside in all the things around us, revealing itself only to him who looks for it.” – Edward M. Purcell
“I am one of those who think, like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries.” – Marie Curie
Our society, in which reigns an eager desire for riches and luxury, does not understand the value of science. It does not realize that science is the most precious part of its moral patrimony. – Marie Curie
We live in a world where the distinction between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by the manipulation of facts, by the exploitation of uncritical minds and the pollution of the language. Arne Tiselius
Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different. – Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. World Health Organization
The mind has great influence over the body, and maladies often have their origin there. Jean Baptiste Moliere

#CervicalDysplasia- Changes in cell size and organization are observed together with atypical proliferation. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#CervicalDysplasia: The human #papillomavirus produces a cervix cells lesion that affects the DNA, and as a consequence, their function and the cellular morphology are altered #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The cause of #CervicalDysplasia are some types of human #papillomavirus. #CervicalDysplasia develops in #cells on the surface of the #cervix. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff

#ChildObesity prevention – Parents should offer them a #HealthyDiet and encouraging them to practice #SportsActivities to rule out any future disease related to an #overweight condition #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #prevention of #obesity is a simple task and consists basically in the consumption of a balanced and #HealthyDiet and frequent #PhysicalActivity. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The prevention of obesity is an important issue to prevent the incidence of this disease to continue spreading worldwide. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In treatment for #ObeseElderly, #PhysicalActivity should not be demanding and should be adapted to the person’s fitness condition. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In #treatment for #ObeseElderly, the patient’s #nutrition should be optimized through the consumption of #HealthierFoods and the elimination of junk or #HarmfulFood. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In treatment for #ObeseElderly, it is preferable to increase #PhysicalActivity than restricting #diet. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Increased waist diameter in #OlderAdults, may predict the risk of diseases, such as #diabetes, #hypertension, and #Coronary #HeartDisease, and the risk of #EarlyMortality #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Obesity can cause many complications in older adults, depending on the amount of body fat and its distribution in the body. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Obesity in older people can also be produced by lower levels of androgens, growth hormones, and cytokines. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BodyFat increases with age and #MuscleMass are lost during life, mainly due to the lack of #PhysicalActivity. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#ElderlyAdults are another group in which treatment against #obesity is carried out differently due to their #PhysicalConditions. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#ChildhoodObesity – It is necessary for the general #population and the #schools to implement and participate in programs that inform them to fight the #disease. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
On a public #health level, prevention of #ChildhoodObesity is not only an issue that should only involve the child’s #family. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#ChildhoodObesity – #PhysicalActivity should be promoted in the form of games, sports, and outdoor activities, which are more fun for the little ones than a more formal #ExercisePlan. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Childhood #obesity treatments focus primarily on #prevention, rather than a #WeightLoss plan. The #diet should be modified and changed to one in which fresh and #HealthyFoods are abundant #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Musculoskeletal complications, #SleepApnea, #InsulinResistance, the risk of respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, metabolic diseases at an early age can increase if obesity occurs from childhood. #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
At #birth #obesity and #maternal #prenatal #smoking contribute to the onset of the #disease as these alter the #WeightRegulation in the child. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Obesity treatment aims: Reduce metabolic and #cardiovascular risk factors-Modify harmful #EatingHabits-Avoid weight oscillations- Restore #PsychosomaticBalance-Improve functional capacity and quality of life #Premilife
#WeightLoss is the main goal of a treatment for obesity, as reducing body fat levels can increase the quality of life, health, well-being, and prevent complications such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. #Premilife
#SleepApnea, #BreathingDifficulty, and #PsychologicalFactors, such as #SelfEsteem, are highly influenced by #WeightLoss. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The likelihood of severe complications due to #overweight or #obesity depends directly on the total amount of #fat, the way it is distributed, and from the total #MuscleMass. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In #obese #children, it is important to improve #family dynamics to improve #motivation and #cooperation. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In children with #MorbidObesity, alterations in #EatingBehavior with loss of control and #SomaticDisorders increase. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Anxiety is observed in 55% of the cases of chronic #obesity and is accompanied in the majority of the #patients of the same #maternal #pathology. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In children (between) 5 and 16 years old, chronic #obesity is associated with #DefiantNegativist disorder in both sexes and #DepressiveDisorder in males; #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Emotional and #psychosocial consequences of #obesity in children can lead to social isolation and a negative #BodyImage, causing #anxiety, #depression, and failing grades. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Among #emotional and #psychosocial consequences of #obesity, children must face greater #discrimination, #rejection, #teasing, and #harassment from other #children. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Another factor in patients with #schizophrenia is the #NegativeSymptoms of the #disease such as flat affect and lack of satisfaction in daily life that leads to inactivity and to the development of obesity #Premilife
Adiposity in the abdominal area, which is intimately related to the #MetabolicSyndrome and favors abnormalities in #CortisolRegulation is observed in schizophrenic patients #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
Among 42-60% of patients with schizophrenia are overweight or obese. #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#AtypicalAntipsychotics produce obesity because it attenuates the function of glucose transporter function, producing elevations of the surrounding glucose and insulin-compensating hypersecretion #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
Atypical antipsychotics produce obesity through the following mechanisms- By the dopaminergic antagonistic action that induces weight gain #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
Atypical antipsychotics produce obesity altering the function of the lateral area of the hypothalamus which is vital for regulating body weight through its muscarinic and histaminergic action (H1)#Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
Atypical antipsychotics produce obesity through the following mechanisms. Because of its sedative effects that would cause a decrease in physical activity #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#Obesity is present in #Mental illnesses such as #schizophrenia where there is an increased risk of being developed due to the side effects of psychotropic substances like #AtypicalAntipsychotics #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-It has been determined this #syndrome is more frequent in #women, covering 66% of the cases, being manifested in average from 39 years old. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-Those patients who suffer from severe #obesity are more likely to suffer from this #disorder. Sometimes the phenomenon is caused by the consumption of certain #drugs such as #zolpidem. #Premilife
#NightEating Syndrome- #Insomnia, difficulty #FallingAsleep, or frequent discontinuation of sleep is accompanied by #NocturnalHyperphagia; the need to eat awakens you and you can’t sleep if you don’t eat. #Premilife
#NightEating Syndrome-Those who present this syndrome usually consume about 35% of their total daily calories after dinner or during the late hours of the night, with only 10% being caloric intake before dinner#Premilife
#NightEating Syndrome- Night intake can also occur when waking up at night, being a #conscious phenomenon, as the person remembers #eating at those hours. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-occurs in approximately 10% of #obese people, who begin treatment for the #disease or a special #DietaryRegimen. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-You can even not eat lunch and not feel very #hungry until the afternoon. After dinner, among 25-59% of the cases, an excessive #FoodIntake episode occurs. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-Morning anorexia manifests as fasting or poorly ingested intake in the morning due to the alteration of the biological rhythm, which delays the appearance of appetite #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#NightEating Syndrome-occurs when there is anorexia during the morning hours, nocturnal hyperphagia and insomnia with a modification of the neuroendocrine pattern of the #Hypothalamic #Pituitary #Adrenal Axis #Premilife
#BingeEating episodes-A negative affect is dominant. These binge-eating episodes are usually presented at least once a week for mild cases, between 8 and 13 times per week in severe cases. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating episodes-#Eat when you are alone until you feel unpleasantly full and then experiencing feelings of #frustration, #shame, and #displeasure with yourself. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
There has been a described relationship between #BingeEating disorder and the consumption of certain substances, like #drugs and #alcohol. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
There has been a described relationship between #BingeEating disorder and some types of #PersonalityDisorders, such as #BorderlinePersonality disorder, avoidant and #ObsessiveCompulsive disorder #Premilife
There has been a described relationship between #BingeEating disorder and others, such as #bipolarity, #depression and #anxiety #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obese people with #BingeEating disorder may present greater psychiatric symptomatology, such as low self-esteem, body image distortion, #depression, high impulsiveness, and perfectionism.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating disorder-Besides deterioration in the quality of life, there is an increased risk of #anxiety, #morbidity, #SocialMaladaptation, #overweight, and #mortality. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating disorder-In the long term, an individual may develop a negative #self-evaluation because he or she can’t control his or her actions. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating disorder can be caused by #FoodRestriction, #boredom, #stress, and #NegativeFeelings, among others. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating disorder is characterized mainly by the sudden manifestation of #CompulsiveImpulses oriented at #FoodIntake and no presence of #behaviors that allow compensating such fact. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Other disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, present, unlike Binge Eating Disorder, compensatory #behaviors, such as #fasting, excessive #PhysicalExercise or self-induction of #vomiting #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BingeEating Disorder-The #prevalence of this #disorder is 1-3% and may increase 10-20% in #obese people who start a #diet plan or regime to #LoseWeight. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Binge Eating Disorder-It is the compulsive consumption of large quantities of food in a short time, you may feel a sense of loss of control and after intake, a feeling of deep remorse and regret#Premilife Dr.#R.Kotliroff
The obese, which often can be judged, discriminated, and taken as an unattractive person, without security and without will, causing them to develop a negative #BodyImage and alterations in their behavior #Premilife
Regarding the level of #meaning, society’s current preoccupation with #physical appearance and having the perfect #body can negatively affect the #obese #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
During #development and #growth, a #mother who #overfeeds her #child, not considering its real #needs can cause and derive in a lack of knowledge of the #BodyImage and #identity in the child.#Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
On a content level, the obese often have difficulty in perceiving, nominating, and discriminating among feelings mainly hunger and satiety as food acquires an attractive value that can substitute other emotions#Premilife
Regarding form schema, #obese individuals suffer from underestimation, meaning they consider their proportions as inferior to those of others. #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#SelfEsteem, which is the valorative #feeling of our #being, is considerably related to the #perception of the #BodyImage an #individual has about itself. #Premilife Dr.#Kotliroff
#Body content corresponds to those #physical and #psychological #perceptions we have of ourselves, also encompasses our ability to establish #relationships with #people, whether it be #friendly or #affective. #Premilife
Obese people, in terms of body schema, have some concern and dissatisfaction with their physical appearance, altering their own perception, so that it underestimates how their own body is perceived. #Premilife
These three spheres – form, content, and meaning,- are closely related to how an individual perceives its #BodyImage, something much more conflictive in #obese individuals.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The classical dimensions and forms of the #HumanBeing constitute the reference from which a person can compare its own #BodyImage. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#BodyImage #perception can be defined as the #conscious and #unconscious representation of the body, on the level of #form, #content, and #meaning. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
A distorted #BodyImage is a #PsychologicalDisorder that can affect the person by making it subjectively believe its #body looks different from what it really is. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Among #PsychologicalAlterations frequently found in #obese people, we can include those related to the #perception of #BodyImage and #EatingDisorders. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In emotional #EatingBehavior, hyperphagia is a pathological form of defense when exposed to #PsychologicalStress, especially in #ImmaturePersonalities with #DepressiveTraits and #anxiety. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity is one of the most common #SocialStigmas that present high #psychopathology and #psychiatric comorbidity that can be the cause or complications derived from it. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff

#HumanBody-The fundamental characteristic was #ambivalence. The body can have a #SymbolicValue defined as #beautiful, or horrible and impure #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Throughout history, the perception of the reality of the #HumanBody and its symbolic and moral value has changed between different cultures. The fundamental characteristic was ambivalence. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#LowCaloric diets are not effective as a treatment for obesity, individuals often regain their #LostWeight, because they feel #guilty, embarrassed, and criticized for their failure they develop other #psychopathologies
In some #ObesePeople, following magic or very #LowCaloric diets as a desperate measure to #LoseWeight has generated #PsychologicalProblems, such as #anxiety, depression, weakness, nervousness, and irritability. #Premilife
#SocialPressure is one of the main problems the #obese face and can trigger related #psychopathies. Developing #PsychologicalProblems will depend on their #MedicalHistory and their previous #conflicts. #Premilife
The perception of #obesity by the current society which demands certain #BeautyStandards can cause problems in #relationships with others, obstacles in job search and looking for a romantic partner #DrRicardoKotliroff
The perception of obesity by current society, which demands certain beauty standards, can cause self-esteem problems in the obese #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Although no #PersonalityDisorder has been directly related to #obesity the obese may develop #PsychologicalProblems capable of affecting quality of life and #InterpersonalRelationships. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#FoodAddiction. From the obese’s perspective of #FoodDependence, the #obese person will constantly deny or ignore the negative effects of that #addiction.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Family and #SocioculturalFactors influence early #addiction to #food. According to this model, from the obese’s perspective of #FoodDependence, it forms a part of its (lifestyle).#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity #AddictivePersonality: #Food, in this case, can become an element that generates #dependency, and obesity in a person who is unaware of its own limits in terms of food.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #AddictivePersonality is one that not only has a physical and chemical need, but also an #EmotionalState related to #ChemicalFactors connected to the feelings and #BiologicalNeeds of each individual. #Premilife
Some authors have dared to talk about an #AddictivePersonality associated with obesity, by finding common factors in obese people, similar to those found in addicts and patients with chronic diseases.#DrRicardoKotliroff
The obese use food in response to different emotions they suffer during the day. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#EatingDisorders tells us how the #obese have a hard time identifying their own #emotions, making it difficult to differentiate #hunger from #satiety or other emotions. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity does not affect the personality nor does it generate associated disorders, it can affect other #psychological elements, not related to a particular #personality and related to other psychic structures.#Premilife
Multiple studies, however, have identified 3-10 #personality subtypes among #obese individuals, without a unique personality type or #PersonalityDisorder related specifically to it. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The diversity of #personality profiles among the patients that suffer from #obesity has also been an obstacle when assessing the #PsychologicalFactors that influence them. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
There are no #PsychologicalDisorders directly related to #obesity, but many obese people often develop #psychopathies, such as feelings of #inferiority, #depression, and #anxiety. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Psychology is an important area in the life of every #HumanBeing, and it must be considered in all #MedicalTreatments, especially in complex and #ChronicDiseases. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The treatment of obesity is not excluded from the psychological and social consequences the patient suffers. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
It has been concluded that #obesity can reduce at least 2-4 years of the #AverageLife, while severe obesity can decrease it by up to 10 years.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Moderately #ObeseWomen, a #BMI among 30-34, were 44% more likely to #die, and those #women with #SevereObesity, a BMI among 35-39, were 88% more likely to #die prematurely.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Overweight #women, a #BMI among 25-30, #PrematureDeath was related to this condition, with this group being 13% more likely to #die. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
To establish a relationship between #obesity and #PrematureDeath, the average #LifeExpectancy of the population should be calculated and then compared to the life expectancy of the #obese. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#LifeExpectancy is the number of years we can be expected to live, on average, a #generation of a specific country #population.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Premature death has been another consequence associated with obesity. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SelfEsteem #WellBeing and #schooling, among others, often deteriorate in obese people. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In young #women, it has been possible to demonstrate the existence of a relation between #obesity and #depression, since the greater the #BMI, the more affected their #SelfEsteem is. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Often, because of the lack of #SocialAcceptance towards #overweight people, #obese people are often excluded or rejected because of their #PhysicalAppearance. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity can cause various #PsychologicalDisorders that can significantly affect the #mood and #emotional state of those suffering from this #disease. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Pickwick’s Syndrome is a condition that can affect #obese people, in which the levels of #CarbonDioxide in the blood are higher than #oxygen levels because of #PoorBreathing. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Obstructive #SleepApnea occurs when excess #fat in the neck compresses airways, stopping #breathing for a few seconds. It can cause #snoring, #drowsiness, and it increases the risk of #MetabolicSyndrome. #Premilife
As we age, the# BoneMarrow acts as a fat filter, which has been associated with weakening of the #bones, due to certain inflammatory substances secreted by #adipocytes, such as #cytokine. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Many #obese people who undergo surgical procedures that reduce their weight significantly can lose considerable #BoneMass density, becoming a risk factor for the appearance of #osteoporosis#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Today, several studies have shown both an increase and a decrease in #BodyWeight may influence the onset of #osteoporosis. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Just like #obesity, #osteoporosis is a #ChronicDisease that affects body composition and can trigger increased #morbidity and #mortality in those who have it. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Osteoporosisn is usually higher in the onset of #diseases, such as #diabetes, #arthritis, #RheumatoidArthritis, #Cushing’s disease, #kidney and #LiverDiseases, and #lymphomas. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Osteoporosis affects #BoneDensity, making them more fragile and easy to break. Increased levels of #fat in the #BoneMarrow, where #bone tissue is generated, can lead to #osteoporosis. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Osteoarthritis is a problem caused by the wear of the tissue that protects certain #joints due to the excessive #weight exerted on them affecting mainly the #knees, #hips, and #LowerBack, causing #pain #Premilife
It is very common for #obese women to give #birth through cesarean sections, which reduce certain risk factors during labor for both the mother and the baby such as complications due to high #BloodPressure #Premilife
Obesity has been linked to several alterations in the female #ReproductiveSystem, among them risks during pregnancy, the onset of #GestationalDiabetes, and #FetalMortality in the last two-quarters of pregnancy #Premilife
There is a greater chance that #overweight people will have #gallbladder complications. Sometimes, gallbladder dysfunction and an abnormal increase in size may occur. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #Calculi can produce irritations in the walls, #cholecystitis, and obstruct the conduit that connects the #gallbladder with the small intestine, causing #gangrene and #CellDeath. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #gallbladder is a small sac located under the #liver that stores the #bile produced in the organ and carries it to the small #intestine it can be affected by #overweight having #KidneyStones and #cancer. #Premilife

In #FattyLiver, when numerous lesions and scarring occur in the liver that prevents it from functioning normally, #cirrhosis, a very serious disease that can lead to #LiverCancer, occurs.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Non-alcoholic #FattyLiver can cause inflammation of the organ, causing in many cases, the destruction of healthy cells by inflamed cells. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity- #Diabetes, #hyperlipidemia, #genetic factors, and #obesity are factors involved in developing Non-alcoholic #FattyLiver. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity- One of the main causes of non-alcoholic #FattyLiver is #InsulinResistance which causes an increase in blood #SugarLevels leading to an accumulation of fat in the #liver. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity- #FattyLiver refers to an excessive accumulation of #fat in this organ. It may be due mainly to the consumption of #alcohol, and other unrelated, non-alcoholic factors.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#ChildhoodObesity can lead to shortness of breath, #ChildhoodHypertension, increased risk of fractures, and early symptoms of #CardiovascularDisease, #InsulinResistance. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#ChildhoodObesity can lead to #PsychologicalDisorders. Parents should take care of the good #nutrition of children to increase their health and quality of life in the future. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity- #ChildhoodObesity can present future risks for #children who suffer from it, as #ObeseChildren suffer from #obesity and #disability in their adulthood.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity- In #women, those who are #obese are up to three times more likely to have #UterineCancer than women of normal weight. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity- One of the causes for which #tumors originate in the #DigestiveTract is due to the reflux of #GastricJuice to the #esophagus, very common in #obese people. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity-In women #patients with a #BMI higher than 40 it has been found that the risk of having #uterine and #BreastCancer is up to 50% higher than in people with a normal #weight. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In 2012, there were 8 million deaths caused by cancer and 14 million new cases It is predicted that in the next 15 years new cancers will increase to 70% and deaths from cancer will increase to 13 million #Premilife
In those patients with a #BMI higher than 40 it has been found that the risk of having #cancer of the #rectum, #colon, #liver, #esophagus, #kidney, #pancreas, #gallbladder, uterine and #BreastCancer is up to 50% higher.
#Obesity has been associated with the appearance of some types of #cancer which range from 7-41% of the emergence of #EndometrialCancer, #ColonCancer, and BreastCancer, for example. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Hyperlipemia Blood tests often give the result of high concentration of #triglycerides or “bad” fats and a low concentration of “good” cholesterol, which can trigger #CardiovascularDiseases #Premilife Dr.#R.Kotliroff
#Obesity – #Hyperlipemia comprises high concentrations of #fats and #lipids in the #blood. This condition is common in #patients suffering from #obesity. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Type 2 Diabetes-In this type the body can produce #insulin to control blood #SugarLevels. As the disease goes on, using insulin becomes inefficient and the body can no longer control #GlucoseConcentrations #Premilife
#Obesity -Those with a BMI higher than 32 are at higher risk of #diabetes than those with a BMI of 20-22. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the relation between #obesity and #diabetes and how it can be caused by the former. There is a link between obesity and #Type2 Diabetes.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In #obese #women, the risk of developing #diabetes is greater than in #men. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Diabetes-High #SugarLevels in the body can be harmful damaging organs, tissues, and causing other complications that can be fatal, such as coronary #HeartDisease, blindness, and #KidneyFailure. #Premilife Dr.#R.Kotliroff
Diabetes- A chronic disease in which the body cannot regulate its blood sugar levels because the pancreas doesn’t secrete enough insulin and there is a high concentration of glucose in the blood#Premilife Dr.#R.Kotliroff
#Obesity – Under normal conditions, the #HumanBody can degrade the #glucose molecules and transport them to different cells around the body, due to #insulin action. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity is responsible for causing approximately 45% of diabetes cases in patients around the world. Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body cannot regulate its blood sugar levels #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity causes #CardiovascularDiseases through subclinical #inflammation, causing an increased #sympathetic tone, due to an atherogenic #LipidProfile and obstructive #SleepApnea. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity-It has been found that #obesity is also related to #mutations that affect blood #ClottingFactor, such as #FactorV Leiden (FVL) and #prothrombin. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Deep #VeinThrombosis is a #cardiovascular problem derived from excess fat and body mass. This occurs when #BloodClots form in a vein, which can travel to various organs of the body, which can be very dangerous.#Premilife
#Obesity significantly affects blood #ClottingFactor by affecting the activity of #platelets, the #cells responsible for the #CoagulationProcess through #InsulinResistance .#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Strokes. When injuries occur in some of the cerebral arteries or the passage of blood to the brain is obstructed, it can cause bleeding or serious injuries that affect the brain’s normal functions, even leading to death.
#Obesity-#BloodPressure is the force that blood exerts on the arteries when pumped by the heart. An increase in this pressure can cause injuries to the body, such as aneurysms, eye injuries, and kidney disease.#Premilife
When a severe obstruction obstructs the passage of blood through the coronary artery to the heart myocardial infarctions occur.High blood pressure is also a serious complication related to obesity. #Premilife
Coronary#HeartDisease can cause a deficit in oxygen and nutrients supply to the #HeartCells, due to obstruction of arteries which can cause difficulties where #PhysicalEffort is required. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity-Every year, about 17 million people die from #CardiovascularDiseases around the world, a trend expected to increase over the next 15 years. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity is the leading cause of #CardiovascularDisease in 23% of known cases Ischemic #HeartDisease, such as #HeartAttacks, #HeartFailure, and #stroke, are the leading cause of death in the world. #Premilife
The main reason #MortalityRates in #obese people is increased when compared to those who are in their normal #weight is the high susceptibility to #heart and #CoronaryDiseases. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
An #obese person can live up to 6 years less than a person of normal weight being 7 years in the case of women. When obesity is accompanied by smoking, life expectancy is further reduced. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#LifeExpectancy is often severely affected by #obesity. Those patients with a #BMI equal to or higher than 30 have a higher risk of #dying, compared to those whose #BMI is among 20-25. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#MetabolicSyndrome can be diagnosed if three of the following factors occur: High #BloodPressure, #AbdominalObesity, low #HDL concentration, High triglyceride, high blood glucose #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #MetabolicSyndrome is a series of risk factors that can increase the chances of suffering from diseases, such as #diabetes, #cardiovascular disease, and #stroke. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Many #obesity complications are caused by #AbdominalFat, that increase the concentration of free #FattyAcids, which results in resistance to #insulin, #hypertension, and #hyperinsulinemia. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity is not simply an aesthetic problem it’s a health problem and it is important to learn how to fight it. Understanding its complications is important to develop awareness of what can cause obesity. #Premilife
#Obesity- The #BodyMass Index directly influences the risk of contracting conditions, such as #diabetes, #cancer, and #VascularDiseases. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity- Excess #BodyFat generates complications that can spread throughout the #body, affecting multiple #organs and the #respiratory, #nervous, #cardiac, and #DigestiveSystems. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity-#AdiposeTissue acts as an internal secretion #organ that produces substances with the function of regulating the activity of #adipocytes and other #tissues. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#AdiposeTissue has the function of storing #BodyFat with a capacity to maintain between 105 and 155 thousand Kilocalories in its deposits. It is defined mainly as an #energy reservoir. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The consumption of certain #drugs can also cause #WeightGain. #Lithium, #antidepressants, #benzodiazepines, #corticosteroids, and #antipsychotics are the most known to cause this effect #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity-Some processes carried out on #FatCells can establish certain limits in losing their contents, generating difficulties in #LosingWeight through a #diet. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Many people seem to have certain difficulties in trying to lose weight through diets because in these cases the number of adipocytes in the body is not eliminated but only reduces its size #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The sudden increase in adipocytes during #breastfeeding, #childhood, and #adulthood may be a #RiskFactor that predisposes a person to #obesity. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
After #menopause, it is normal for many #women to suffer from #WeightGain resulting in an increase in the accumulation of fat around the waist, which can cause serious health problems. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity-After #menopause, it is normal for many #women to suffer from #WeightGain due to #hormonal changes in the #body and less #PhysicalActivity #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
