Various Ways To Know You Are Obese

Chronic Fatigue

Not only does being overweight increase an individual’s chances of developing various, serious conditions, it also increases their risk of developing chronic fatigue. Chronic fatigue in obese individuals largely develops due to the person carrying more weight, suffering from joint and muscle pain, and are more likely to develop a disorder where fatigue is a typical symptom, such as sleep apnea or diabetes. A fatigued individual may not exercise, and a lack of exercise in their life can cause further fatigue. A lack of exercise in an overweight person’s life can also cause deconditioning, making it more challenging and tiring for the individual to perform a physical task in general.

In essence, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex medical condition that affects different parts of the human body. Studies have shown that obese individuals with CFS have demonstrated poorer functioning, and obesity has similar symptoms to CFS, such as increased levels of fatigue, increased sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, increased levels of pain, and a reduced level of physical functioning and vitality, essentially a lower quality of life.
