Well, one common problem that hounds as today is the fact that many people are getting fat. Yes, obesity or being overweight has risen in the last few years. The sad thing about it is that obesity can lead to heart disease.

We all know that heart disease which leads to heart attack is the number one killer disease right now. It is really important to control our weight so as to lessen the risk of acquiring a heart disease and eventually suffering from a heart attack.

Before going into the reasons to becoming fat... take note of the following risk factors for heart disease. Under the controllable category you will notice that being overweight is one of them:

• OBESITY
• hypertension
• high cholesterol
• lack of physical activity
• smoking
• excessive coffee intake
• diabetes

As you may have notice, the first few risk factors are somewhat related to obesity. If you take in to much food high in cholesterol you will surely go fat. Along with lack of physical activity, fats will be stored in our body and eventually led to hypertension, heart disease and worst case scenario a heart attack.

Most people think that eating more is the reason why people get fat. Well, this is of course true. But there is more to that than eating more. The bottom line is people think that:

"YOUR GETTING FAT BECAUSE YOUR EATING MORE....."

but the truth is

"YOU'RE EATING MORE BECAUSE YOUR GETTING FAT !!!"

I know that you might consider this explanation absurd. But if you kindly look at the video below you will surely understand what I mean.

Now that you know the reason, I believe its time to do something. its a matter of control. We should control the intake of foods that makes us fat. If you have seen the video, sugar plays a key role in getting fat. So control the intake and do some exercise to increase the  metabolism. This will be a good start.
