How does obesity contribute to heart diseases?

Obesity is a condition that is usually accompanied by co-morbid conditions. People with a BMI of over 30kg/m2 are considered to be obese. an increase in BMI in obese people increases their risk of Coronary Artery Diseases or CAD. Some of the co-morbidities of obesity include hypertension (increased BP), Dyslipidemia (Increased cholesterol levels), Diabetes Mellitus (increased blood glucose level), sleep apnea, gallbladder problems, and many more.

Obesity and Herat diseases:
Obesity causes an alteration in your cholesterol levels. Obesity usually causes a spike in the bad cholesterol aka Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) and Triglycerides level. Obesity also lowers the good cholesterol High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL) levels, which are essential to remove the bad cholesterol from our body and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Obesity can cause an increase in blood pressure. Blood pressure rises in obese people because they require more blood to supply oxygen and nutrients to our body. Hence our body will increase the blood pressure to push the blood around our body. Highly elevated blood pressures are one of the common causes of a heart attack.

Diabetes is also another common cause of heart diseases. Obese people have a higher chance of getting diabetes than non-obese people. Diabetes is one of the major contributing factors of a heart attack. Controlling diabetes can reduce the risk of getting a heart attack.

Vitamin and mineral intake after bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery is done to lose weight in obese and morbidly obese patients. After the bariatric surgery, (except gastrectomy or sleeve gastrectomy), your mineral and vitamin need of the body cannot be supplied by the food you eat. This is because the surgery not only cuts down on the amount of food you can consume but also in many cases cannot process vitamins and mineral from food because of the reduced small intestine. 

Hence vitamin and mineral tablets are mandated for life if you have undergone bariatric surgery. So when you do not intake vitamin and mineral tablets, you are prone to nutritional deficiencies and its associated diseases. Hence do not skip any of the prescription drugs as prescribed by your bariatric surgeon.
