What's the Risk of Excess Weight

Why Excess Weight Kills

Of the many factors causing more than 40 percent of Americans to die of heart attacks and 35 percent to become diabetic, the strongest are eating too much and exercising too little.

Being Fat Makes You Even FatterHaving diabetes is one of the strongest risk factors for heart attacks and premature death. Before insulin can do its job of driving sugar from the bloodstream into cells, it must first attach to special hooks on cells called insulin receptors. Only then can insulin drive sugar into cells. When fat and muscle cells fill with fat,

· these cells fail to respond adequately to insulin,
· blood sugar levels rise,
· insulin levels also rise,
· insulin converts sugar to fat,
· more fat deposits in fat and muscle cells, and
· you become even fatter.
