The Hidden Fact About Obesity No One Talks About

Obesity is linked to increased risk in diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Although lesser known, yet just as serious, is gum disease. Researchers are beginning to see a correlation between obesity and gum disease. In a recent study of 37,000 men with waist sizes of forty inches or more had a higher risk of gum disease as well as heart disease showing a 29% increased risk of periodontal disease compared to those of normal weight.
