 Startling facts about obesity and cardiovascular disease:   OBESITY AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE    
 What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a fatty substance (a lipid) that is an important part of the outer lining (membrane) of cells in the body of animals. Cholesterol is also found in the blood circulation of humans. The cholesterol in a person?s blood originates from two major sources, dietary intake and liver production. Dietary cholesterol comes mainly from meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. Organ meats, such as liver, are especially high in cholesterol content, while foods of plant origin contain no cholesterol. 		  CHOLESTEROL & OBESITY    
 What are gallstones?

Gallstones are "pebbles" within the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped sac located under the liver. It stores the bile secreted by the liver. During a fatty meal, the gallbladder contracts, delivering the bile through the bile ducts into the intestines to help with digestion. Abnormal composition of bile leads to formation of gallstones.

 What is high blood pressure?

High blood pressure or hypertension means high pressure (tension) in the arteries. The arteries are the vessels that carry blood from the pumping heart to all of the tissues and organs of the body. Hypertension does not mean excessive emotional tension, although emotional tension and stress can temporarily increase the blood pressure. High blood pressure is generally defined as a level exceeding 140/90 mm Hg that has been confirmed on multiple occasions. The systolic blood pressure, which is the top number, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts and pumps blood into the circulation.

The diastolic pressure, which is the bottom number, represents the pressure in the arteries as the heart relaxes after the contraction. The diastolic pressure, therefore, reflects the minimum pressure to which the arteries are exposed. 		  HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE & OBESITY    
 When is watching your weight necessary?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more women are overweight than men. This seems to start around age 30 and continue through old age, with peaks in the 30s and 50s. More than 60 percent of women in the United States do not engage in the recommended amount of physical activity, and more than 25 percent are not active at all
 		  WOMEN & OBESITY    
 Obesity is not just a cosmetic consideration. It is a dire health dilemma. In the United
States, it is ultra common. One in three Americans is obese. In the U.S. alone, about
300,000 deaths per year can be blamed on obesity. 		  OBESITY - Why be concerned about obesity?    
 A stroke is the sudden death of brain cells due to a problem with the blood supply.   STROKE & OBESITY - What is a stroke?    
 While it may seem obvious, we now have research showing a positive link between eating fast food, weight gain and diabetes. Up to this point there have been no long-term studies documenting the effect of fast food on obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
