Does obesity mean unhealthy?

Many fat friends often talk about "I am a healthy fat man" and "I am fat, I am happy", which may be self-mockery or heartfelt self-comfort. But the truth is, there are no healthy fat people. Obesity is closely related to metabolism, and obese people often have various metabolic problems. However, there is a class of obese people whose metabolic indicators are no different from those of ordinary people. There seems to be nothing unusual except being overweight. There are several such "healthy fat people" around each of us. They often show off their special physique and call themselves "fat but not greasy". However, a study shows that healthy fat people are not so healthy.

Although the risk of cardiovascular disease in healthy obese people is lower than that in unhealthy obese people, their risk of cardiovascular disease is much higher than that in healthy normal weight people. Healthy obesity is only a kind of relative health, just a little better than the worst case. As the experiment shows, with the passage of time, healthy fat people often become unhealthy fat people. The results show that health and obesity only exist for a period of time. All forms of obesity need to be treated, even those obese people look healthy now. In view of the abnormal metabolism of fat people, which is harmful to health, don't use "healthy fat people" to describe obese or overweight people.

Obesity means unhealthy. High digestion and absorption rate is easy to be obese, and different individuals have different levels of digestion, absorption and metabolism of food, that is, food utilization rate is different. People with high utilization rate are prone to obesity, while people with low utilization rate are relatively less prone to obesity. Sister and brother-in-law are like this: brother-in-law eats a lot, but defecates twice a day, which may be chronic intestinal dysfunction, so he has been very thin. My sister doesn't eat much and defecates once every three days, which may be constipation. They eat the same food, but the results are quite different, which shows that their absorption rates are different.
