Hey could we uh…lump dental care in with health care and not call it cosmetic
i am probably literally dying because of my luxury mouth bones, and planning a trip to mexico (about a 9h drive, not terrible) because i am hitting the point that i can’t chew anymore because my teeth are so fucked up.
it would be so rad if i could just get this treated like the emergency situation it is without having to leave the fucking country.
i just had the funniest experience in vr chat, i joined a random server and the one i joined had Japanese people so i waddled around in my goofy club penguin avatar that i have saved, after a while a guy walks up to me and clones my avatar so were both penguins then another guy shows up and clone my avatar
now keep in mind there only speaking Japanese i don’t know what they are saying, then another guy joins in, so i got a group of three penguin friends
we just waddle around and goof about, the one of them tries to talk to me, but not only do i not have a mic i also don’t speak Japanese, they figure out i don’t speak Japanese and start listing various places, they get the part of being European right, and after listing a lot of places they ask if im from the UK and when i nod they all just start cheering. after hanging out for a while one of them gets real close to me and whispers…
“Symptoms of obesity.” Isn’t that phrase interesting, “symptoms of obesity.”
Sumo wrestlers eat up to 7,000 calories a day and weigh 300 to 400 pounds[.]
…Normally, people with obesity store a portion of their extra fat deep inside the abdomen, where it wraps around the pancreas, liver, and other vital organs. We call this visceral fat. It pollutes the blood with molecules that can cause inflammation, and this is why obesity can lead to health issues like high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and heart attacks.
But sumo wrestlers don’t usually suffer from these symptoms. So what’s their trick? CT scans reveal that sumo wrestlers don’t have much visceral fat at all. Instead, they store most of their fat right underneath the skin. That’s why scientists think sumo wrestlers are healthy. They have normal levels of triglycerides, a type of fat in their blood, and unexpectedly low levels of cholesterol, both of which lower their risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
So how did they hit the jackpot on fat? …Studies show that intense exercise may prevent the buildup of visceral fat. Basically, it has to do with how exercise increases a hormone called adiponectin. Adiponectin guides glucose and fat molecules out of our blood stream, where they could build up as visceral fat, and instead puts them underneath the skin.
It’s almost as though “obesity” itself is only representative of a person’s weight, and not of their actual health.
It’s almost like people can be fat, active and healthy all at the same time. That fat people can actually have lower risks of heart disease, heart attack and stroke than the average. That someone’s appearance does not inherently depict their health.
Huh.
If you train as hard as those guys it doesn’t matter if you weigh a literal ton you’re still gonna be healthier than the average person.
