3 Easy Steps to get Heart Attack

It is pretty simple and straight forward to show the connection between obesity and heart attack. Again, I am not saying it will be 100% case, but this will apply to most of the cases that I have seen.

Step 1: Starting

We have all the junk foods surrounding us - you know what type of foods I am referring to.

Taking high calories foods without exercise = obese.

Step 2: Building

You will notice the building of your bad cholesterol in the blood streams due to the food that you take.

The bad cholesterol will then slowly stick to your blood vessels and form plaque. Just imagine your blood vessels are like drainage, and bad cholesterol is the rubbish.

Step 3: Explode

You have everything ready for getting yourself in heart attack - heavy weight which causes your heart to work extra hard, blockage in few of your primary arteries. Is just the matter of time now. 

About Obesity

What is obesity? This word is widely use nowadays thanks to all the modern living. In short, obesity means way overweight, you are not at your desire weight. Another way to measure your obesity is your Body Mass Index (BMI), your height to weight ratio. It should not exceed 24, unless you are an athlete or body builder.

Another way is to check your body fat level, which you can easily get it via a body composition analyzer.
A healthy person should not have more than 25% of body fat, if your body fat is over 30%, then you are considered obese.

Before I go further, lets see some interesting statistics:

Malaysia = SEA Fattest Country, 6th in Asia
2 out of 5 adults are overweight in Malaysia
38% youngsters(Age 12-18) are overweight in Malaysia
