It's not just how you feel about yourself

A lot more problems arise from being overweight than you may realize.

It's funny but most of the current writing surrounding obesity centers on how you look and how people perceive you.

That is important of course but it is not enough for everyone.

Some people can ignore the social difficulties especially if they have a supportive environment. So today I want you to take a look at some of the very real dangers of being overweight or obese.

If you are thin please give this to someone you know who needs it!

Let’s start at the top and go down.

First, being heavy affects your brain chemistry through hormones.

In men, fat stores estrogen, converts male hormones into estrogen and imbalances the male to female hormone ratios in your body.

Remember, I told you we’d start at the top? Well, I should have said we’d start with your brain. There is evidence that being heavy adversely affects brain chemistry leading to more depression and moodiness.

Now, men, if we look at your “second brain” the high estrogen levels associated with obesity also may cause what was referred to in the infamous Seinfeld episode as shrinkage!

Considering that penile enlargement is a 9 billion dollar industry you’d think someone in that industry would have written an article about losing weight. Yes, you can reverse the shrinkage that occurs with significant weightloss.

You’ll also see things better if our butt is not in the way.

In women the opposite often happens. Fat converts estrogens to androgens and you get the bearded fat lady effect.

I can’t imagine anything we’ve talked about so far is good for your self-esteem!

Next, being significantly overweight can lead to sleep apnea, a condition that may become deadly as it can affect both your heart and your lungs as well as your ability to stay awake.

Throw in some poor work performances, increased depression and falling asleep behind the wheel and you’ve got a serious problem indeed.

Obesity has been directly linked to age related macular degeneration (AMD). If you are too heavy you have a 30% chance above and beyond the general population of getting this dreaded problem.

I have designed Pro Mac, which is short for protect the macula, to combat this problem. Age related macular degeneration is now the leading cause of blindness in this country so Pro Mac couldn’t have come too soon.

And if it’s bad now and it's linked to obesity, just think what things will “look” like when the baby boomers and their kids who are way too heavy come of age.

I promise you, the current health care system is not going to be able to deal with millions of blind people!

Don’t be one of them! Lose those extra pounds and get on ProMac now while the future is still bright.

If you need help with your weight, get a hold of the combo of fish oil and Regenerizer and crank up that metabolism so you can melt that fat away.

Tomorrow I will give you even more reasons to do this.

Yours in a bright healthy future full of beautiful sights!
