Obesity & Metabolism
Obesity ages your heart faster!
Being overweight doesn’t just affect how you feel — it actually makes your heart age faster, increasing the risk of heart disease.
Even in older adults, weight loss can lower the risk of serious heart problems and may even help extend life.
Being overweight isn’t just about appearance—it directly impacts heart health. Excess weight leads to high blood pressure, diabetes, and increased cholesterol levels. It also makes daily activities exhausting, reducing motivation to exercise.
Obesity & Metabolism
Conclusion
Obesity and ageing are closely linked in how they damage the heart. This study shows that obesity can make the heart age faster, leading to more heart problems. The good news is that losing weight and improving metabolism—even later in life—can protect the heart and slow down ageing. By understanding how these two issues are connected, scientists & physicians can develop better treatments to keep our hearts healthier as we age.
