With obesity, children have a hard time breathing and sleeping, which in other words is sleep apnea. To be more specific, sleep apnea causes people to stop breathing for brief periods, it interrupts their sleep throughout the night and causes sleepiness during the day. It also causes heavy snoring. For example, you remember the young lady Samantha that I mentioned earlier, at 15 she was already obese. She was a young lady who was diagnosed with high blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep apnea. At age 16, she was determined to make a change with her body and started working out, for support, her mother worked out with her. Samantha was slowly but surely making progress but at times stumbled along the way. She stated …show more content…
It can also lead to heart attacks, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection and atherosclerosis which in other words is fatty buildups in the arteries that cause them to harden. High blood pressure can also lead to strokes, kidney damage, vision loss, erectile dysfunction, memory loss, fluid in the lungs, angina, and peripheral artery disease. So how bad is it exactly to have these horrible conditions? When having heart failure, you heart muscle begins to weaken slowly and over time, your heart begins to fail you, and when your heart fails you then sadly your life is taken away. Also, when having a stroke, you lose control of your memory.

With diabetes, you have a higher risk of getting a heart attack or stroke. You can also have complications with your vision, kidneys, nerves, feet, skin and teeth. With your vision, you can lose your ability to see color or objects clearly. You can also have blurry vision, or you can start seeing dark spots in the center of your vision. As for your kidneys, you need your kidneys to live. What your kidneys job is, is to “filter wastes and extra water out of your blood to make urine.” With kidney damage, your kidneys won 't be able to do their job, and that will lead to a kidney transplant or possibly lead to death. Having nerve damage can damage your feet. When having damage to your feet, you can 't feel the cuts or scratches on your feet and that can lead to infection on your cut if you never tend and care for it. In order to make urine, water is needed, and since the water you drink is used to make urine, that “leads to a loss of moisture in your body. With
