How Diet and Alcohol Consumption Lead to Obesity and Diabetes?
New research from Silvio E. Inzucchi and team proves that overeating and excessive consumption of alcohol can lead to obesity and diabetes mellitus. With the passage of time, the number of people suffering from these two complications has significantly increased, and lazy lifestyles and dietary habits are said to be the core contributors (Inzucchi et al., 2014). It has now been proved that overeating and alcohol consumption causes a malfunction in the brain, causing type II diabetes and obesity at the same time. It significantly impairs the brain’s ability to suppress the breakdown of fats in adipose tissues. The liver, on the other hand, plays a major role in balancing the blood sugar level.
If a person consumes a lot of alcohol or eats junk foods in excess, he may end up developing diabetes, and his weight will be increased to an extent. In the case of 66-year-old Evan, it looks like his over consumption of wines and unhealthy eating habits have caused the illness. For a quite long time, the man has been eating foods with excessive carbohydrates (pasta, fruits, and bread), and this disturbed his brain’s power to control the level of sugar in the body as well as his liver.
Just like Mr. Evan, nearly 24 million people in the United States are diagnosed for type II diabetes every year, and up to 7 million remain undiagnosed due to one reason or another. According to Perdana Samekto Suyoto, diabetes and obesity are closely related to one another, and it is very unfortunate that over 30 percent of the U.S. population is having both of these complications. All over the world, approximately 1.8 million adults aged 22 years or older are diagnosed with type II diabetes every year (Suyoto, 2018).
High Sugar Intake, Alcohol, and Carbohydrates in Patients with Type II Diabetes
From this case study, it is clear that Mr. Evan’s dependence on high-carbohydrate diets and wines has led him to suffer from type II diabetes and obesity. Just like other people of his age, he is at the risk of developing a cardiovascular problem in the coming weeks. The evidence suggests that high sugar intake, carbohydrates, and alcohol decrease the body’s ability to fight bacteria, viruses and other germs (Liu et al., 2015). In type II diabetes, the body of the patient does not make sufficient insulin or uses insulin inappropriately. In the meantime, the unwise consumption of alcohol and carbohydrates could lead to serious complications. The chance is that the patient will gain a lot of weight, may suffer from back pain and chest pain, and will soon develop heart diseases.
People, including Mr. Evan, need to control their sugar level in the body, which is possible only when they change their lifestyles and decrease their dependence on red wines and types of alcohol, as well ...
