The Mechanisms by Which Excess Fat Harms You (via feedly)

It's the inflammation. For the overly analytical -- none of those kind around here, I know -- it's sometimes the process of learning and internalizing the clinical why and how of various health risks that can organically catalyze the will to explore new behaviors and even change just a few key variables to find a more sustainable path; one that is source of Constant Accomplishment rather than an Eternal Battle of sheer will. Facing this lifelong struggle myself, on this front, I surely wish us each All The Best ...
Excess fat leads to chronic inflammation and damage over time. From ScienceDaily: "Fat tissue is no longer considered simply a storage place for excess calories, but in fact is an active tissue that secretes multiple compounds, thereby communicating with other tissues, including the liver, muscles, pancreas and the brain. Normal communication is necessary for optimal metabolism and weight regulation. However, in obesity, fat (adipose) tissue becomes dysfunctional, and mis-communicates with the other tissues. This places fat tissue at a central junction in mechanisms leading to common diseases attributed to obesity, like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. ... Fat tissue dysfunction is believed to be caused by obesity-induced fat tissue stress: Cells over-grow as they store increasing amounts of fat. This excessive cell growth may cause decreased oxygen delivery into the tissue; individual cells may die (at least in mouse models), and fat tissue inflammation ensues. Also, excess nutrients (glucose, fatty acids) can also result in increased metabolic demands, and this in itself can cause cellular stress." You might also look at the role of macrophages in fat-induced inflammation.
