Bones are not only to help us to move around and about, we have bones because we need them to support our heavy muscles. Not to forget, bones like the rib-cage and skull are to protect the important but fragile organs like the brain, heart and the lungs. Oh! The bone marrow, soft flexible tissue on the heads of long bones like the femur, help us to produce red blood cells. 

So here what obesity can effect our bones:-

Rheumatology & Orthopedics (dealing with the joints & human musculoskeletal system - berkaitan dgn tulang lembut, ligamen tulang & tulang2)

-        Gout (Gaut) -        Poor mobility (pergerakan terhad/terganggu) -      Osteoarthritis normally affects older people where the joints wear out. There are suppose to be a layer of of surface of the joint but wear out due age and exposed the naked bone to rub against other naked bone. It cause stiffness, pain and may be swelling. Can be prevented with drinking calcium (Biasanya terjadi pada org tua dimana sendi terasa sakit/pedih/ngilu akibat keradangan ringan yg timbul akibat gesekan diantara ujung tulang penyusun sendi. Diantara tulang2 sendi bisanya terdapat satu lapisan rawan dan apabila meningkat umur, rawan tersebut menjadi nipis dan akhirnya hilang akan mengakibatkan masalah osteoartritis. Kondisi ini boleh dicegah dari awal dengan memperbanyakkan minum susu berkalsium tinggi) -      Low back pain, in this case, caused by extreme obese/huge belly and lack of exercises. (sakit pinggang disbbkan kegemukkan yg melampau/ perut buncit dan kurang bersenam.)

I have quite the problems when it comes to back pain when I was still an obese. That reminds me, everytime I consume foods with high Ajinomoto (monosodium glutamate), I'm not sure and haven't have any expert opinion on this but I think it is from the MSG, I got such terrible back pain that would spread to my feet and head. It annoys the hell out of me and decided to leave Ajinomoto for guesses food instead of mine. Hehe..

Next health risk in Obesity will follow right up after this. 

wink!
