How does gaining (and the death feedee lifestyle generally, I guess) affect someone’s heart/cardiovascular system?
Ok so the best way to look at the effect a deathfeedee lifestyle would have on the cardiovascular system is to split it into two parts, the vascular system and the heart itself.
In simple terms the vascular system is just a fancy name for all the blood vessels in your body that’s the veins, arteries and capillary’s.
Being super fat and unhealthy mainly affects the blood vessels in two ways, blood pressure and cholesterol
Let’s start with blood pressure:
When you pack on the pounds your blood pressure will start to rise the heavier you get the higher it will rise, this is because fat in the body will release hormones and chemicals which change the way your body regulates blood pressure, on top of that the fat physically pushes on the kidneys which are responsible for regulating blood pressure.
Diabetes is something I've mentioned many times before, and recommend you read my other posts on it, so I'll be brief here, when packing on the pounds, the chemicals and hormones that the fat releases that I mentioned above also have an effect on diabetes, playing a major role in developing diabetes, but diabetes it's self also increases blood pressure, making your body send signals to your arteries telling them to shrink and get narrower, it also makes your blood physically thicker due to glucose staying in the blood longer, this also increases blood pressure.
Being a super unhealthy deathfeedee means that you will be eating very unhealthy fatty food which means your cholesterol (the amount of fat in your blood) will increase, when this gets too high the fat will start to stick to your blood vessels mainly the arteries when this happens you develop angina and then as it gets worse this will lead to possible heart attacks and strokes. This takes us onto the heart itself.
The effects being a deathfeedee on the heart are huge but again mainly split into two parts fitness and heart health.
Starting with fitness, this one is pretty obvious but being a deathfeedee you should be doing everything in your power to do as little exercise as possible, this means your cardiorespiratory fitness will decrease or simply put, how much effort your heart and lungs must do when moving, the more unfit you get the more effort they have to put in for smaller and smaller amounts of movement.
Overall heart health is affected by everything else I've mentioned on this post as these other things get worse so does your heart health, the arteries feeding it get clogged, it has to beat faster and faster to force your thick sugary blood through your massive body, it gets tired quicker and is at much higher risk of having a heart attack, developing atrial fibrillation (missing a beat and then two in quick succession), and heart palpitations.
I've probably missed things, so I'll reblog if I come up with anything.
