Risk Factor 2 Obesity
Obesity means being overweight. The
majority of overweight people simply
eat too much! If you think there is any
other reason in your case, go and talk
to your doctor.
Being overweight puts an extra load
on the heart - There is simply too much
of you to pump the blood around.
Obesity makes it more likely for you
to develop high blood pressure.
Overweight people have been shown to
develop atheroma more quickly, which
increases their risk of coronary heart
disease.
