Obesity Heart Risk Shock

    BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND, December 16, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A new poll has revealed that a shocking one in three heart disease deaths are a result of being overweight or obese.

A 10-year study involving 20,000 men and women aged 20 to 65 indicates that not staying slim triples the risk of dying.

It was previously thought that being overweight only doubled the risk, instead of tripling it.
The Netherlands Heart Foundation study also found excess weight was to blame for one in seven non-fatal heart attacks.

Those worried by the health implications linked to obesity should consider a consultation with The Hospital Group.

As the UK's leading weight loss surgery provider, The Hospital Group can offer a gastric band, gastric bypass or gastric balloon to those having trouble shifting stubborn excess weight.

The dramatic results can not only make you feel fantastic, but will also help you to lead a healthy lifestyle.

David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group said: "Being overweight or obese can dramatically reduce your quality of life.

"Excess weight affects all aspects of people's life and as these findings show, can ultimately end in an untimely death.

"Gastric procedures can help people who have struggled losing weight- as well providing lasting results.

"Our consultants ensure that, as well as having an absolute need for a gastric procedure, the patient understands that weight loss surgery isn't a miracle cure and they would need to work with the band to achieve the healthier lifestyle they desire."

The Hospital Group is committed to providing the very highest standards and all procedures are performed by an expert medical team in state-of-the-art facilities that are second to none. Since The Hospital Group was established in 1992, it has grown from a small pharmaceutical company to one of the UK's foremost plastic surgery.
