Thin people also suffer from obesity

Harmful hudoba

average sumo wrestler from Japan eats 5,000 calories a day and has a body mass index (BMI) of 56 is considered morbidly obese. And though the West might even sumo called "fatty", this sport is not as unhealthy as it sounds.

"The sumo wrestlers low cholesterol, low insulin resistance and lower levels of triglycerides - fatty acids" - explains the professor from Imperial College London Jimmy Bell.

In sumo perfectly developed internal organs. Training makes the heart stronger, beating it in its natural rhythm, well pumps blood. Most of the fat - the result of high-calorie diet - is formed on the outside and serves as a protective layer and the inner organs remain healthy. Sumo wrestlers on average live shorter lives than ordinary Japanese people - perhaps because of problems adapting to normal life at the end of an intense career and received injuries during the competition. But practicing sumo wrestler - it is a healthy person, can not be said about the majority of Russians.



Many Russians 'healthy' BMI. They look smart, but they are not completely healthy call. The same is observed in other European countries and the United States. The first is able to identify Dr. Neil Ruderman 33 years ago. He called it "the metabolic syndrome with normal body weight." Today, these people are called tougher - "skinny fat menĀ» (skinny-fat). They observed all obesity-related problems - high blood pressure, elevated levels of bad cholesterol, high insulin resistance. But the outward signs difficult to see.

Now doctors can make an accurate diagnosis by a blood test and even a cursory medical examination - special attention should be paid to the bulging belly. For a more accurate diagnosis of the patient to do an MRI: The picture shows that the internal organs are covered by adipose tissue, which prevents them from working.



Being a "skinny fat man" is more dangerous than fat, people with normal weight and high fat in the body more likely to die from obesity-related diseases.

A treatment generally the same for all. "Skinny Fat Man" does not necessarily eat less, but you need to limit the consumption of sugary drinks, fried foods and simple carbohydrates: white bread, chips, candy. More important than work out - it does not only help to bring the body in order, but also will be useful for internal organs.

I do not necessarily engage in sumo: regular walks - great start. A running or swimming - even better.
