Body Fat and Disease Risk
If your body weight goes up, not just body fat increases, but also the risk of various diseases. That's because the conditions that can make a person old quickly, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and pain, closely related to the presence of excess fat.
In determining the normal weight, you can use body mass index (BMI), which divides weight by height squared. Value exceeding 25 is considered overweight (overweight) and obese if the value exceeds 30. In addition to calculating BMI, you can also measure the fatness of the abdominal circumference. For women, the maximum is 80 cm and 90 cm for men.
In addition to making the body so it is not agile, piles of fat in the body will invite the arrival of the disease. Similar to other body parts, fat tissue also requires oxygen and nutrients from the blood. With the increased need for oxygen and nutrients, then the amount of blood flow throughout the body would have to increase as well. Thus, increasing the risk of high blood pressure.
Excess fat is also associated with increased LDL cholesterol or bad cholesterol and triglycerides. Over time, these blood fat changes had a role in the formation of fatty deposits (plaques) in arteries. This condition is called atherosclerosis which can make your risk of coronary heart disease and stroke.
Diabetes type 2 is also closely linked to being overweight. Excess fat will directly influence the body's ability to balance blood sugar.
In addition to cardiovascular disease, according to Dr. John Tjandrawinata, SpGK from Boromeus Hospital, Bandung, there are several types of cancer associated with being overweight.

Health Tips Facts News – Mesothelioma Cancer Patients Treatments
Low Cost (or Free) Air Travel for Mesothelioma Patients.
Mesothelioma patients need access to immediate and effective treatment, often available only at large cancer centers that may be thousands of miles from their home. Even if the treatment or clinical trial is available, the travel costs can prevent these patients from accessing this critical care.
Thankfully, there is a solution. Multiple organizations, such as Angel Flight, Corporate Angel Network, and Pilots of Patients, donate their planes and financial resources, as well as pilots who donate their time, to provide air transportation to those patients who require financial assistance or perhaps are too ill to fly commercially.
Each organization has different requirements, but overall they do request that the patient has some mobility, is medically stable enough to fly in an unpressurized plane, has financial need, that there is no other transportation available, and that the patient has received a medical diagnosis requiring specialized treatment from a specific hospital.
The following list is not comprehensive, but provides a sampling of these types of organizations:
National Patient Travel Center, Angel Flight America, Air Charity Network, Mercy Medical Airlift, Corporate Angel Network, Pilots of Patients.
We are thankful that these organizations are willing to donate their time and resources to the valuable cause of assisting mesothelioma patients and admire their generosity.
