Obesity in the strong half and fighting with it

Excess weight in men has become a frequent phenomenon in modern life. The accumulation of fat excess in the body of men is slow. The occurrence of obesity in women is more frequent. Male organism requires large energy costs. The caloric content of women's table is half that of men. The peculiarities of the structure of the muscular body skeleton are also the cause of rapid burning of excess fats.

Causes of obesity

There are many factors that affect the mass of a person. Separate external and internal factors of fat mass increase. External causes of obesity:

• The modern food industry has spread such harmful food as fast food. Visiting fast food establishments provokes an increase in weight. Oily and fried foods have a detrimental effect on weight, cardiovascular system and intestines. A quick snack on the go does not allow the foods to be properly digested and digested.

• Professional activities of men. Patients who work for a long time behind a computer or a wheel are more prone to typing fat. Low physical activity provokes a slowdown in blood circulation and metabolic processes in the body of a man.
• Stay in constant stress. Any stressful effect leads to disruption of metabolic processes in the body. The energy resource of the patient is directed to compensate for the neurological stresses of the body. There is such a phenomenon as stinging up stress. A person who finds himself in an unusual situation, begins to actively consume food that exceeds the daily calorie content. In all cases, fat begins to be actively deposited.
• The most damaging effect is beer and cigarettes. Beer drinks are detrimental to mast cells of organs or tissues. The largest number is located in the abdominal region. With frequent use of beer, mast cells begin to grow actively, a "beer belly" appears. Cigarettes contain malicious for the body nicotine. Nicotine pathologically affects metabolic processes, slow down the fat-splitting functions of the body.

For internal reasons, many diseases can be attributed. The most common and obese diseases are:

1. . Disorders of the hormonal system. With a decrease in the production of testosterone in the body of the patient, hormone-estrogen is actively being developed. Estrogen is a female hormone responsible for primary sexual characteristics. Men with impaired testosterone production are full of female phenotypes. Roundness appears in the waist, hips and sides. There may be a pathological proliferation of mammary glands.
2. Genetic inheritance. In a family whose older generation is prone to fatness, obesity is common. The cause of the disease is a malfunction of mast cells. Treatment in this case does not have a positive effect.
3. Diseases of the cardiovascular system. Hypertension affects the retention of water and salts in the body. Men suffering from heart disease get fat in the chest, legs. The deposition of fat excess in the thoracic region causes the appearance of dyspnea.
4. Diabetic lesions of organs or tissues. Diabetes requires constant hormonal treatment. Hormone therapy affects the metabolic processes in the body of a man, causes the accumulation of water. In the presence of diabetes in men overweight can not be controlled.
5. Endocrine pathology. Disorders in the endocrine system leads to a malfunction of the hormonal background. The causes of endocrine obesity are similar to diabetic.

The effect of obesity on the health of the patient

The accumulation of excess fat mass in the body causes the appearance of various pathologies of organs and tissues:

• The deposition of adipose tissue in the abdomen and thighs affects the vessels and muscles responsible for the male genitourinary system. Fat squeezes the walls of blood vessels that supply blood to the genitals. The work of the prostate gland is disrupted. There is an accumulation of fluid in the bladder together, transmitted by increased peristalsis. A man is forced to often visit the toilet. This phenomenon is especially disturbing at night. The development of seminal fluid is disrupted, the sex drive falls. With a long neglect of the pathology, impotence occurs.
• Patients who are overweight, suffer from hormonal disorders. Dysfunction of hormones in the body of a man is dangerous by reducing the activity of the hormone-testosterone. Testosterone is responsible for primary sexual characteristics. Men who have this complication become inactive, capricious and infantile.
• Fatty chest deposits cause various problems with the heart or blood vessels. A frequent phenomenon in fat people is ischemia of the heart. When listening to heart rhythms, there are extraneous sounds that disappear only when medication is given.
• The increase in mass affects the physical potential of the patient. Long hiking, climbing stairs, running cause dyspnea. At night, short-term breath retardation is possible, snoring appears. Sufferers overweight, having more than five heart rate stops per minute during sleep, should immediately consult a cardiologist and nutritionist. Heart rhythm stops can lead to death.

Treatment and prevention of the disease

There are two types of treatment: medication, physiotherapy. Medication for excessive fat deposits:

1. Drugs containing sibutramine. The "Reduxin" won great popularity among nutritionists. A therapy using sibutramine is prescribed for patients with a very large body mass index. Reduxin influences the neurophysical processes in the human brain. The patient, who takes the reduction, loses the craving for food. The reception of food causes disgust in the person, the usual portion is not used completely. Treatment of sibutramine is carried out strictly under the supervision of a dietitian and neurologist. Independently the drug is not used, it is released in pharmacies strictly according to a special prescription form. In the practice of doctors, it is noted that uncontrolled reception of reduxine leads to neurological disorders of the body. People who lose weight on sibutramine, are distinguished by increased nervous excitability, become explosive and scandalous. In some cases, the appearance of depressive conditions. Without the control of a neurologist and a psychologist, people with depression have suicidal tendencies.
2. Metformin preparations. Treatment of diabetes includes hormonal and hypoglycemic therapy. Hypoglycemic drug captures excess sugar in the blood of obese, does not allow him to digest. Doctors noted that patients taking metformin, actively lose fat volume. With a long study of the pharmacological properties of the drug, the relationship between dosage and effect was deduced. Dieticians prescribe the use of drugs containing metformin, at a certain dosage. The drug is prescribed with a gradual increase in the dose, and a smooth decrease in the dose. It is forbidden to take metformin drugs on your own. For the purpose of this type of treatment, tests for free sugar in the blood are used. If the analysis for sugar is within the limits of the norm, metformin will be ineffective. Pharmaceutical plants have developed a wide range of metformin-containing drugs( Siofor, Glucophage).
3. In neurological practice, serotonin reuptake inhibitors are widely used. When appointing patients fluoxetine, it was noted that most of the subjects began to lose weight. Within half a year the patient found the correct body mass index. This effect has become widely used in dietetics. Preparations containing fluoxetine are prescribed by a neurologist and have different dosages. The dosage of fluoxetine for each patient is individual.
4. Drugs belonging to the group of dietary supplements. A huge number of biologically active additives used for weight loss has been developed. The widest range is offered by the pharmaceutical brand "Evalar".Biological additives from the line "Turboslim" are popular.
   Medicines containing orlistat. Orlistat preparations have pronounced lipid-lowering activity. Orlistat affects cells that break down lipids. Lipid splitting cells lose their function and fats that enter the body with food do not dissolve. Orlistat is administered strictly during meals. Fat, which is a part of food, is excreted from the body in an unchanged form. Pharmaceutical laboratories developed a wide range of medicines containing orlistat in various dosages( Orsoten, Xenical, Xenalten, Orsotenum, Orsotene lite).

For all types of excess weight, it is necessary to observe proper nutrition, certain physical activity. The basic rules to be adhered to:

• Proper nutrition. Nutritionists recommend to reduce weight smoothly. The patient must adhere to a fractional diet. The meal is divided into five parts: three main meals and two snacks. Caloric content of products is strictly calculated for each patient individually. It is necessary to take into account the physiological characteristics of man. It is necessary to completely exclude from the food products containing salt and sugar. Bakery products are also prohibited. The meal should take twenty minutes, the food must be thoroughly chewed. It is necessary to drink at least two liters of water a day. Coffee drinks should be completely ruled out. The last meal is made three hours before bedtime. For people with a very high body mass index it is useful to spend "protein" days. Protein helps to quickly break down fats and remove them from the body. For slimming, a vegetarian diet is recommended. The exclusion of all meat products positively affects the cardiovascular system. Once a week you should spend a "hungry" day. It is allowed to use water and broth.
• Physical training. For patients with excess body weight, a number of physical exercises have been developed. The sports instructor individually selects a set of exercises for everyone. Dieticians are popular with cardiofizkultura. Patients with high weight are recommended to exercise force in alternation with cardio. All physical activities are applied with dietary nutrition and doctor control.

Cosmetic Aid

Modern cosmetology has developed a line of products for combating obesity. Widespread use of cosmetics found in masseurs. Complex skin care before and after massage helps quickly remove excess centimeters from the waist and hip area, reduce the appearance of cellulite. The massage techniques for weight reduction are different, determined by the doctor. Patients suffering from vascular mesh, massage is contraindicated. Perform a massage should a professional, because lovers can do harm.

Cosmetic salons offer a medical procedure - acupuncture. Acupuncture came to our medicine from Japan. Dieticians use special points for setting up needles. With a certain temporary effect of needles on the point in the body, metabolic processes are intensified, and fat-burning enzymes are activated. Sessions last no more than fifteen minutes and are conducted by a specialist in acupuncture.

Selection of treatment and prevention

A number of studies are being selected to select the right treatment and physical activity:

• A complete history is being prepared. For this purpose, the causes of the appearance of excess weight are clarified, the time frame of the duration of the disease is revealed. The caloric value of the table, the frequency of food intake is specified.
• Carry out a physical examination. The patient is sent for ultrasound examination of organs, electrocardiogram, magnetic resonance tomogram. Take a blood test for a complete laboratory test. An important factor is the blood test for the level of hormones in the blood.
  The genetic picture of the patient is studied. Exclude the possibility of obesity, inherited.

Surgical intervention

In some cases, a person needs surgical intervention. If compliance with the diet, drug therapy did not give a positive result, the patient is assigned an operation. The most common operation is gastric bypass surgery. The walls of the stomach are sewn or put on a bandage, the volume of food placed in it is reduced. Extensively applied surgery for gastric banding and gastroplasty. Shunting proved itself only on the positive side. Loss of fat in six months can reach 15-20 kg.

Men who are overweight should immediately consult a dietitian and decide on treatment. Ignoring the problem leads to aggravation of the patient's condition and possible fatal outcome. Timely intervention by a doctor will help to prolong and improve life, to maintain health.
