What Excess Weight Does To Your Insides

TWO WOMEN

This image shows a 250 lb. woman on the left and a 120 lb. woman on the right. We can see weight gain from the outside, but we usually can’t see what excess weight does to your insides.

Let’s briefly take s snapshot. Look at the fat (white) surrounding the organs in the woman on the left. Do you also see the fat around her heart  and around her brain? A little scary, isn’t it? Look at the compression around the stomach and internal organs. Do you think that would have any impact on GERD (gastroesophogeal reflux disease) and indigestion? Look at the compressed knee joints. Do you think those joints ache a little more than they should? This is just a small list of things of what excess weight does to your insides.
