How is weight management and obesity related to cardiovascular disease? Well, the reason is very simple. We know that as your body mass index or your degree of obesity increases, the incidence of cardiovascular disease increases. suffer with more ischemic heart disease, angina, heart attacks as they put on weight. And it's not difficult to assume why this happens because there is more work for your heart to do to pump blood as your weight increases. So that puts extra strain on this muscle and hence the risk of heart disease and heart attacks increases with obesity.
