6. EFFECTS OF OBESITY
HEART STRAIN >>>
The increased mass means the person’s heart has to work
harder to pump more blood at a much harder rate throughout
the body.
HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE >>>>>
These fats constrict the blood vessels, which means that the heart experiences
difficulty in pushing blood through the vessels.
CARDIAC ARREST The heart stops
through being
overworked

7. STROKE
• When high blood pressure occurs, strokes
follow
Of every 100 people who have a stroke
15 die (15%)
10 recover completely (10%)
25 recover with a minor impairment or
disability (25%)
40 are left with a moderate to severe
impairment (40%)
10 are so severely disabled they require long-
term care (10%)

8. HEART ATTACK
• The plaque
build up
from the fat
cause blood
to build up,
leading to a
heart attack

9. There are several other effects of
Obesity including
• DIABETES

11. Let’s look at some of the things that
we consume that have hidden
sugar

12. Hidden sugar
• Each can of coke for 255mL, contains
26grams of sugar, which is equivalent to
10 sugar cubes.

13. Effects of Soda
• 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds
to this by turning all the sugar that is sent there into fat.
• 30 minutes: Your pupils dialate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your
livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. Preventing drowsiness
• 60 minutes: Sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish.
<<<< 40%
more caffeine
and 15%
more sugar
than coke

14. No Soda, then how about juice?
No? 15
grams Of
sugar?

15. I only have 99 cents.. How about
Arizona?

16. No? Okay, I’ll drink flavored water,
vitamin water is still good for you
right?

17. Let’s look at how much sugar,
chocolate milk has.

18. ALSO
• The amount of sugar, all the students of a school consume in a week at
school is more than enough to fill a school bus.

19. So how much sugar does chocolate
milk have?
• Chocolate milk of this size contains 25
grams of sugar.
Wait, isn’t that how much
255mL, of coke had?!
Nah, coke had 26 grams.

20. So how about fast food?
Because of it's affordability, taste and
convenience, we still make it a part of our diet
almost every chance we get.
FAST FOOD = Trans and Saturated fat
>>> High cholesterol
>>> Hardened Arteries
>>> Leads to Heart Attacks as well as Strokes

21. Something you probably didn’t
know
Fatty food take a toll on short term memory
To determine the effect of a
fatty diet on memory and
muscle performance,
researchers studied 32 rats
that were fed low-fat rat
chow and trained for two
months to complete a
challenging maze.

22. However
• Then half the rats were switched to high-fat
rat chow
• The rats who stayed with their regular food
continued the same high level of
performance on the maze, finding six or
more treats before making a mistake.
The rats that changed
however, were unable to
complete this maze

23. Extreme Cases

24. This is an
An 8 year old boy, weighing 219 pounds
His body mass index (BMI) of 60
He was hospitalized at 7 years old for severe breathing
problems, some due to “extra fat in his throat
He is also diagnosed with sleep apnea, sleeps with a
breathing device at nights, and can only walk short distances
before his body rebels, forcing him to take a rest.
