Overweight Are Prone to Heart Attack At An Earlier Age


Heavier person, obsese or overweight are more prone to heart attacks. Most heart attack occur as a result of coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is the build up over time of a material called plaque on the inner walls of the coronary arteries. Eventually, a section of plaque can break open, causing a blood clot to form at the site. A heart attack occurs if the clot becomes large enough to cut off most or all of the blood flow through the artery. Because of the too much fat in the veins, overweight and obese people are more prone to it.

A study shows that the more you gain weight, the chances of getting this kind of disease is also increasing. Many cardiologist and several institutions study different data on more that 111,000 people who had heart attack.

They are also prone to diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure."It gets very biochemical and very molecular." A simple explanation is that caloric restriction activates an enzyme that prevents fat from being deposited in heart cells.

Another study has a result that the provided evidence for the mechanism by which the obese people have taken comfort from the studies. There are also indication about the survival in the heart attack of the thin people.

"The heart functions better with caloric restriction."
