This article could have easily been entitled: “Extra Pounds Causes Big Problems” instead of: Excess Weight and Health Risky Business. It very effectively points out the difference in attitude between women and men when it comes to health concerns. The articles points out that women seem to be far more proactive and concerned when it comes to taking action right away to prevent and treat health problems before they become severe. While men, on the other hand, wait far too long. In many cases, they wait until these health problems become severe to cause outward signs or complications; then they act to do something to treat them. Knowing such information could help many men to be more proactive at the very beginning knowing the severe problem such laciness could cause. In this regard, the article continued to point out the four health problems identified that causes some many deaths today: type2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, infertility; are major concerns for many people today. If more people understood that not just being severely overweight; but carrying just a few extra pounds could hasten the onset the aforementioned chronic diseases dramatically. Included in the list is infertility as a direct cause of being overweight. Very interesting finding given that only recently the connection between health problems and sexual dysfunction has been made. Really good information that could be expanded upon and enlarged giving more insights and understanding on the subject of carry just a few extra pounds.
