| Diseases & Disabilities It is a very
unfortunate that obesity leads to many disabilities in one's later
life. Some of these disabilities are crippling in nature &
others, degenerative.
Diabetes: - Onset of diabetes in adulthood is more common solely
among obese persons. Even though heredity is the deciding factor
in diabetes, chances are remote if the person takes care not to
gain weight as he grows. There are persons with normal weight
who are not diabetic though there is a family history of diabetes.
Some among such individuals believe strongly that they will inherit
the disorder one-day or other in their middle age. This belief
itself leads them to behave, as obesity is also a leading cause
of diabetes the United States of America. Some diabetics would
& they slowly gain weight.
Abnormal eating habits in diabetes: - Normally, a diabetic individual
feels hungry & eats at short intervals. It is necessary for
him to eat small frequent meals rather large ones at long intervals.
They have certainly misunderstood this recommendation. While eating
frequently, they fail to regulate or reduce the quantity &
quality of food eaten. They satisfy their hunger pangs but stuffing
themselves with readily available commercial food, rich in calories
but poor in nutrition. At times they also over eat to keep hunger
at bay. This type of indiscretion increases the bulk of their
body. This is harmful. There should be a rational & perceptible
solution for the ignorance about what, when & how a diabetic
should eat.
