Falling into the class of obesity with a BMI of greater than 30 makes this more likely, but so also does having excess visceral fat deposition with significant metabolic consequences at a BMI less than 30. The distinction here is the metabolic consequences of excess fat causing a health risk rather than focusing on the BMI cutoff.

A study of almost 10,000 adults with obesity (BMI >30) who were evaluated for all LE8 factors and followed for over 7 years can give us some insight 1. Just the same as you would expect with a blood pressure-lowering or cholesterol-lowering medication.

Limit your intake of saturated and trans fats, as they can raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. Calculate your body mass index (BMI) to determine whether you are within a healthy weight range for your height. They can assess your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other risk factors.

Of course, these benefits can also extend to individuals with a BMI in the normal range. a higher metabolism).

The accumulation of cholesterol, foam cells, fibrous tissue, and calcium mainly causes the narrowing of coronary arteries. However, recent studies have observed that people below 40 are also experiencing heart attacks due to high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and social and mental stress.
