Lime In The Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy: Obesity: More Than A Cosmetic Problem

Obesity is one of the fastest growing health conditions in America. More than two-thirds of the U.S. population is considered overweight, and more than one-third is considered obese. Many people battle with their weight off and on throughout the year, finding motivation to eat healthier and be more active at certain times and then losing motivation at other times. Typically, most people lose all motivation to stay in shape once the holidays arrive. We're almost to the end of the year, they think. I might as well enjoy myself during the holidays and then I'll start trying to lose weight after the first of the year.

Don't fall victim to this mindset. There is an alternative - an option that may enable you to eat until you feel full and avoid packing on extra pounds at the same time. Keep reading to learn more about the new weight loss product available at The Lime In The Coconut Compounding Pharmacy.

More Than A Cosmetic Problem

Being overweight or obese isn't just a cosmetic problem. These conditions greatly increase your risk of developing other health problems. For example, as your body mass index rises, so does your risk of coronary heart disease - a condition in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart. Plaque can narrow or block the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle and potentially causing a heart attack.

Type 2 Diabetes

Being overweight or obese puts you at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. In fact, almost everyone with this diagnosis is overweight. Diabetes is a condition in which the body's blood glucose (or "blood sugar") level is too high. Normally, the body breaks down food into glucose and then carries it to cells throughout the body. The cells use a hormone called insulin to turn the glucose into energy. In type 2 diabetes, the cells become resistant to insulin. At first, the body reacts by producing more insulin. Over time, however, the body can't make enough insulin to control its blood glucose level. Diabetes is a leading cause of multiple adverse health conditions, including:

Stroke
Kidney disease
Coronary heart disease
Blindness
Early death

Fortunately, glucose control can be restored through weight reduction and proper diet.
