[size=large][b]Fatty Liver Disease:[/b][/size][hr]Obesity increases the risk of developing liver disease called fatty liver disease due to accumulation of fat in liver. Gallbladder disease and gallstones: Obesity increases cholesterol deposition in gall bladder, which can lead to formation of gallstones. Uric Acid Crystals Joints proved to be the foundation for the writing of this page. We have used all facts and definitions of Uric Acid Crystals Joints to produce worthwhile reading material for you.

[size=large][b]Stroke or Paralysis:[/b][/size][hr]Atherosclerosis in arteries of brain can reduce blood supply to the brain. This decrease in blood flow can result in stroke or paralysis. You may be filled with astonishment with the amount of information we have compile here on Uric Acid Crystals. that was our intention, to astonish you.

Arthritis: Obesity and overweight increases the load on the joints such as the knee, hip and lower back, which can cause the breakdown of cartilage in the joint. Cartilage is a cushion like structure in a joint required for smooth movement of joints. Breakdown of cartilage in obesity results in joint pain and stiffness and other features of osteoarthritis.

Excess deposition of fat in the body causes insulin resistance, because of which, insulin cannot perform its function and sugar cannot enter into cells and remain in blood. This leads to diabetes or high blood sugar. High sugar in blood leads to complications in various organs like kidney, eyes, blood vessel, and heart. There has been a gradual introduction to the world of Gout projected in this article. We had done this so that the actual meaning of the article will sink within you.
