Obesity, Diabetes and Energy Metabolism


In this National Institutes of Health program, Marc L. Reitman, chief of the molecular biology and gene regulation section of the National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney diseases, reviews current information on obesity and related complications. He also describes how a limited amount of fat can contribute to overall health. At least $30 billion is spent treating obesity-related conditions in the United States every year. While researchers suspect genetic and environmental factors may influence obesity, effective treatment options remain limited. Find out what current research may indicate for the future of obesity and diabetes.

  • HugelyBig says:

    Heh, maybe that explains how I manage to eat a bunch? of pizza and not gain. My school is pretty much downhill, so you have to take some stairs to get most places..

    one day he decided to not use elevators for that day, so he start the day walking for 15 minutes to his office and climbed 7 floors to his disk. and then when he return home he climbed 10 floors in where he live. At the evening he checked the sugar and it was reduced? a lot. Climbing stairs make your muscles so strong to fight the sugar.

  • HugelyBig says:

    Haha, at first I thought you were about to give some spammy advertisement with that last one. I’ll try it! =D
    One thing though – how’d? he figure that out?

  • karlaaa87 says:

    Thank you for your comment. Actually, he has a great secret to reduce the sugar level.. its easy and available to every one. just before any meal. climb stairs for 15 minutes.. . its? encorage your muscels to absorb the glocose. Try it. its for all.. you will feel amaizing.

  • HugelyBig says:

    No problem. And congratulations for your brother. I’m assuming you talked him into? dieting, so well done for you. :)

  • karlaaa87 says:

    thanx?

  • karlaaa87 says:

    since my first comment he lost around 20 kgs..? and now his sugar level is better than earlier, he is going to loose another 20 kgs .. then i will update you guys about his sugar level that day.

  • wade2bosh says:

    cinnamon would be good for him.?

  • HugelyBig says:

    It’s? more about diet than weight. As soon as he gets himself on a sensible diet, his blood sugar will become normal. Losing weight is basically a bonus. Weight and blood sugar don’t affect each other significantly. It’s diet and activity that controls both.
    He needs to know that if he doesn’t get a grip on it now, he’ll have type 2 later, and will have to control it more then than he has to now.

  • toffeeapple7 says:

    Does he have Type 2 yet?
    If he had Type 2, chances? are only something like a very extreme vegan diet will help. If not, so long as he watches his diet very carefully, his blood sugar should begin to go back to normal levels.

  • karlaaa87 says:

    my brother is too fat and his blood sugar is above the normal. if? he loose his wieght will his blood sugar become normal?

    The rats are jumping ship.

    CHEMRISK – a research company hired by the Corn Refiners Association has recently taken down it’s YouTube channel.

    The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the discovery of dangerous levels of MERCURY in HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.

    See one? of the last remaining ChemRisk videos at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.

    The thing is about these statistics is that they can vary? from sources to sources because of the degree of which you have to be overweight in order to be obese considered varies. imo as long as you are healthy being a little overweight is alright.

  • lazur1 says:

    Genetics: Potentials. Example: 1/ # of fat cells? @ birth, 2/ Their distribution among your body parts, & 3/ Distribution just under skin or more deeply under facsia, determine: A/ The fattest you could possibly be. B/ How it can affect health, & C/ How you’d look. (Those w/ ‘deep’ fat may seem to have thick muscular waists.) If diet & activity cause you to not fill those fat cells, ( not ‘turn on’ that particular ‘genetic switch’), you may never even know you had such potential.
