Proof #2
A: If you needed yet another reason to jumpstart your New Year’s diet, let this be it. Yes, it is true that there is a definite link between obesity and many types of cancer. When most people hear the word “obesity” they think of increased risks of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, yet they rarely think of cancer. Sadly, this is not oftentimes reported in the media or readily discussed. In my own practice, I have many well-educated patients and have found that many of them are completely unaware of the fact that certain types of cancer occur with increased frequency in obese people. Obesity also increases the likelihood of dying from cancer. Higher death rates from Zephiniah Rudolph Kaylyn Martin cancers of the esophagus, colon, rectum, Salmen High School Lakeshore High School liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidney as well as Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and multiple Hannah Manetta Laurel Upton myeloma have all been linked to obesity in Slidell High School Fontainebleau High School both men and women.

Based upon these associations, and the obesity epidemic, some studies have even shown that obesity has been estimated to play a major role in 20 percent of all cancers. These numbers are indeed staggering. So when you make your New Year’s resolution to lose weight, you are also resolving to become healthier with that weight loss. It is a great way to begin the New Year!
