Obesity puts a bigger strain on the heart pump as a bigger area of the body has to be serviced by it. If a bigger of area the body has to be serviced because of obesity, it would naturally follow that the blood pressure in the system would have to be increased to service this bigger area. Obesity is, therefore, often accompanied by high blood pressure and this in its turn tends to lead to coronary disease and strokes. Because of additional weight, fat people do not as much exercise as people who are not far.


Obesity is a definite deterrent to vigorous exercise. This means that the heart pump and the capillaries and tissues in the heart lose the advantages of exercises which help to keep them well conditioned and healthy. Fat people are prone to much greater risks of heart diseases and strokes compared to those who are not over weight.
