Postmenopausal breast cancer and obesity

September 4, 2016

Postmenopausal breast cancer and obesity causes bodily harms which are often as a result of excess calories in the body

Postmenopausal breast cancer and obesity: Obesity and breast cancer

Many studies have shown that overweight and obesity are associated with an overbearing increase in risk of postmenopausal breast cancer. This higher risk is seen mainly in women who have never used menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and for tumors that express both estrogen and progesterone receptors. According to the experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD, overweight and obesity have by contrast, been found to be associated with a reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer in some studies.

However the relationship between obesity and breast cancer may be affected by the stage of life in which a woman gains weight and becomes obese. Epidemiologists are actively working to address this question. Weight gain during adult life, most often from about age 18 to between the ages of 50 and 60, has been consistently associated with risk of breast cancer after menopause. The increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer is thought to be due to increased levels of estrogen in obese women. After menopause, when the ovaries stop producing hormones, fat tissue becomes the most important source of estrogen. Because obese women have more fat tissue, their estrogen levels are higher, potentially leading to more rapid growth of estrogen-responsive breast tumors.

The relationship between obesity and breast cancer risk may also vary by race and ethnicity. However, there is limited evidence that the risk associated with overweight and obesity may be less among African American and Hispanic women than among white women.

Postmenopausal breast cancer and obesity: Endometrial cancer

Overweight and obesity have been consistently associated with endometrial cancer. This is the cancer of the lining of the uterus. Obese and overweight women have two to four times the risk of developing this disease than women of a normal weight, regardless of menopausal status. A number of studies have also found that the risk of endometrial cancer increases with increasing weight gain in adulthood, particularly among women who have never used MHT.

Finally although it has not yet been determined why obesity is a risk factor for endometrial cancer, some evidence points to a role for diabetes, possibly in combination with low levels of physical activity. High levels of estrogen produced by fat tissue are also likely to play a role. In conclusion to part with the prevalence of obesity and all the relationships we are observing with different kinds of cancers, we all have a duty to perform in the realization of good health. It begins with the mutual acknowledgement that these two conditions are a threat to our health. Up on that we can begin to talk to the experts both at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center and other institution where professionalism is practiced in offering treatment of the same. You can schedule for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury today and she will be there to help you overcome whatever challenge you may be having.

The problem of obesity in children is closely associated with several elements that negatively affect the child’s normal upbringing.

Besides such short-time problems, doctor Akoury says that there are so many long-term physical problems which can affects the heart, bones, hormones and reproductive organs of overweight and obese children. Most concerning are the links to early onset of type 2 diabetes and heart diseases which are leading causes of death in globally. Children who are overweight or obese are also more likely to be of poorer socio-economic status in future as adults.

Direct impact obese children face out of their situation: The link between bullying and obesity

Being overweight or obese is in itself a factor of being bullied and molestation of obese children by the peers. This has been established by several studies across the globe. Overweight or obese children are more likely to be teased by other children either verbally by name-calling, physically bullied in boys or have difficulty because other children stopping an associating with them or begin spreading rumors about them. Other children often judge overweight kids with a negative stereotype and associate them with being lazy, careless, and selfish and mean because of the way that they look. Both boys and girls who are overweight or obese are more likely to be bullied at primary school because they do not fit into the normal physical stereotype. Obese children are also more likely to be the perpetrators of verbal bullying to other children. By bullying other kids however, overweight or obese children can divert attention away from being bullied themselves. In boys particularly it is presumed this is because they are physically bigger than other children, and therefore can be physically dominant (i.e. pushing). In girls however, there is no advantage in being physically bigger than other children because most bullying is by name-calling (verbal) and relationship bullying.

Economical limitations in fighting obesity

August 26, 2016

Economical limitations in fighting obesity is becoming a reality since many poor communities may not afford the gym facilities and healthy foods

Economical limitations in fighting obesity: Limited physical activities

Your health is the most valuable asset one can ever have. Given all the wealth on earth you cannot compare earthly possession with good health. Ironically to the poor this may not be the case since good health is not all about healthy foods but also being active physically. Their economical limitations does not allow them to access the gym facilities for active physical activities. The absent of continuous body exercise is recipe for weight gain and obesity. They cannot afford to organize children’s events outside school making their children to be less active physically. This is evidence because of inflexible work schedule, lack of transportation or unmet needs for child care, poor parents find it hard to support extra activities for their children. Leaving kids in front of the television is all the poor parents can manage. This inability is not helpful as it only help increasing the risk of overweight and obesity.

Economical limitations in fighting obesity: Food deprivation and overeating

Those who are eating less or skipping meals to stretch food budgets may over-eat when food does become available, resulting in chronic ups and downs in food intake that can contribute to weight gain. Cycles of food restriction or deprivation also can lead to an unhealthy preoccupation with food and metabolic changes that promote fat storage.

The “feast or famine” situation is especially a problem for low-income parents, particularly mothers, who often restrict their food intake and sacrifice their own nutrition in order to protect their children from hunger. Such a coping strategy puts them at risk for obesity and research shows that parental obesity, especially maternal obesity, is in turn a strong predictor of childhood obesity.

Economical limitations in fighting obesity: Stress

Low-income families, including children, may face high levels of stress due to the financial and emotional pressures of food insecurity, low-wage work and luck of access to health care, inadequate and long-distance transportation, poor housing, neighborhood violence, and other factors. Research has linked stress to obesity in youth and adults, including (for adults) stress from job-related demands and difficulty paying bills. Stress may lead to weight gain through stress-induced hormonal and metabolic changes as well as unhealthful eating behaviors. Stress, particularly chronic stress, also may trigger anxiety and depression, which are both associated with child and adult obesity.

This is a very painful truth that economical limitations (imbalance) can be a serious contributor to weight gain and obesity. Like I had said our fingers are not the same and will never be. It means that this problem are likely to recur from one generation to another. However there are things that you can do despite of your economic situation to defeat this problem of obesity. You can schedule for an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury a re-known medical doctor specializing on addiction and obesity. She has been in the practice for over two decades and her vast experience will be very beneficial for you if only you can take that step today.

Linking obesity with liver disease complications

August 15, 2016

Linking obesity with liver disease complications enables quick identification of the right treatment solution.

Linking obesity with liver disease complications: The body parts

The simplest definition of obesity is an excess amount of body fat. Ordinarily the normal amount of body fat expressed as a percentage of body weight is between 25-30% for women and 18-23% for men. Therefore women with more than 30% body fat and men with over 25% body fat are considered obese by these standards. Why is this (linking obesity with liver diseases) a great concern to us? It is because up to eighty percent of deaths registered are related to obesity. For one to be considered obese, such individual’s BMI must be greater than 30. The association between obesity and liver diseases is just one of the many worrying health complications accruing as a result of being obese.

To be safe of this threat, we all have a duty of care for one another in our neighborhoods.

Linking obesity with liver disease complications: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to a wide spectrum of liver diseases ranging from:

The most common, fatty liver (accumulation of fat in the liver, also known as steatosis)
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH, fat in the liver causing liver inflammation)
Cirrhosis (irreversible, advanced scarring of the liver as a result of chronic inflammation of the liver)

Various studies have established that all stages of Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease are necessitated by insulin resistance a condition which is closely associated with obesity. In fact, the BMI correlates with the degree of liver damage, in the sense that the greater the BMI the greater the liver damage. This correlation is not healthy and must not be allowed to continue. It would be better if preventive measures are taken so that nothing happens at all. However, even if this is already a problem to you all is not lost.

In the meantime, let us get into the discussion of our topic (obesity in atrial fibrillation and respiratory diseases).

Atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is caused by an abnormal electrical system in the heart, which makes the upper chambers of the heart beat in a rapid and in a disorganized way. In some cases, the exact cause of atrial fibrillation is unknown, but conditions that affect the health of the heart, along with older age, are some of the known risk factors which may include:

High blood pressure
Coronary heart disease
Heart valve problems
Heart failure

The consequences of being obese is that, your heart may be damaged in the process leading to atrial fibrillation by causing pressure to build up in the blood vessels of the lungs. The implication of this is that pressure will be building up on the right side of the heart a factor that is always triggered by atrial. Remember that obesity also exacts pressure on your neck when sleeping. This compresses the neck and frustrates breathing a condition known as obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep apnea causes oxygen in the blood to dip down to dangerous levels, and that may cause functional and structural changes in the heart that trigger atrial fibrillation.

The medical terms in this article may not sound or make sense to you right now but when you make another step of scheduling for an appointment with doctor Akoury over the same and how you can be assisted in all issues relating to being obese, a lot more sense will be realized. Therefore you can now call doctor Akoury for further inquiries today.
