Of course thin people have these problems as well, but of course if a person who may be fat has them, it's ALWAYS because "they are fat"Instead of getting to the root of the problem using physical therapy, herbs or advising a person it COULD be the processed foods they are eating or the exercise they might not be doing. The solution a person who is bigger receives is always "lose weight." So here are ways to help with issues and the reasons why it's not ALWAYS due to weight.Because ignorant people claim being fat automatically is the reason behind any problems like breathing heavy when Asthma, lack of exercise, smoking,not breathing correctly and sometimes even Allergies can be the culprit.How do I know? Because I'm 4'10", 95-100 pounds.I exercise daily and try to stay active throughout the say. I have days where I have trouble breathing, Why? Because I have Asthma and allergies. All of these can be helped (possibly cured,but I'm not gonna make those kinds of claims) with eating healthy and exercising, but not necessarily weight loss...which is what this site is all about. If you are fat (or thin) and suffer from any of these, this site is for you (even if youdon't because eating healthy and exercising (at any weight) can prevent many of these problems
A great way to take care of numerous issues is to be mentally healthy and lets face it, when you are discriminated against for your weight it is hard. When problems may be because of stress, or other mental reasons (or not eating healthy which is what this site is for) people always blame weight. Balance your inner mental and spiritual health @ Calm Mind Open Heart
Btw,I'm 4'11", 100 pounds and I have back problems, breathing problems,etc. So, no,being fat is NOT always the issue.

- Resveratrol
- Resveratrol - Most research on resveratrol has been done on animals, not people. Research in mice given resveratrol suggests that the antioxidant might also help protect them from obesity and diabetes, both of which are strong risk factors for heart disease. However, those findings were reported only in mice, not in people. In addition, to get the same dose of resveratrol used in the mice studies, a person would have to drink over 60 liters of red wine every day. Some research shows that resveratrol could be linked to a reduced risk of inflammation and blood clotting, both of which can lead to heart disease. More research is needed before it's known whether resveratrol was the cause for the reduced risk." You can get this in supplement form you don't need to drink tons of wine each day

- THE HEALTHIEST DIET RECOMMENDED BY KAISER PERMANENTE - "According to the Kaiser report, the research shows that plant-based diets are cost-effective, low-risk interventions that may lower body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1C, and cholesterol levels, and may reduce the number of medications needed to treat chronic diseases and lower heart disease mortality rates. "Physicians should consider recommending a plant-based diet to all their patients", the directive continues, "especially those with high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or obesity."" Obesity is not something that needs to be "cured" and veganism does not "cure" obesity because vegans can be fat just like meat eaters, vegans are;however, healthier.
- Natural cure for high cholesterol - Vegan Nutrition @ Veg Family - "Some research indicates that low vitamin B12 and/or folate status can lead to high homocysteine levels in the blood, increasing risk of cardiovascular disease. So keep munching those fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes (all great sources of folate) and take a B12 supplement [especially if you are vegan.]." "The most significant factors affecting cholesterol levels include essential fats (low saturated/trans fats, with moderate unsaturated fats is the most protective); protein (too much protein, particularly animal-derived, tends to increase cholesterol); fiber (soluble fiber in particular lowers blood cholesterol); phytosterols (a type of phytochemical found in some types of nuts and polyunsaturated oils); and antioxidant intake (higher in vegans due to high consumption of fruits and veggies). Nuts and soy foods have been touted for their cholesterol-lowering effects; vegans should aim for about 2 servings of each per day (in their least processed forms)"

- Are You Eating Sausages, Deli or Bacon? Heart Disease and Diabetes May Await - "In a new study, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have found that eating processed meat, such as bacon, sausage or processed deli meats, was associated with a 42% higher risk of heart disease and a 19% higher risk of type 2 diabetes.....The results showed that, on average, each 50 gram (1.8 oz) daily serving of processed meat (about 1-2 slices of deli meats or 1 hot dog) was associated with a 42% higher risk of developing heart disease and a 19% higher risk of developing diabetes. In contrast, eating unprocessed red meat was not associated with risk of developing heart disease or diabetes. Too few studies evaluated the relationship between eating meat and risk of stroke to enable the researchers to draw any conclusions."Although cause-and-effect cannot be proven by these types of long-term observational studies, all of these studies adjusted for other risk factors, which may have been different between people who were eating more versus less meats," said Mozaffarian. "Also, the lifestyle factors associated with eating unprocessed red meats and processed meats were similar, but only processed meats were linked to higher risk.""When we looked at average nutrients in unprocessed red and processed meats eaten in the United States, we found that they contained similar average amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol. In contrast, processed meats contained, on average, 4 times more sodium and 50% more nitrate preservatives," said Micha. "This suggests that differences in salt and preservatives, rather than fats, might explain the higher risk of heart disease and diabetes seen with processed meats, but not with unprocessed red meats."Dietary sodium (salt) is known to increase blood pressure, a strong risk factor for heart disease. In animal experiments, nitrate preservatives can promote atherosclerosis and reduce glucose tolerance, effects which could increase risk of heart disease and diabetes."
- Do You Know How Hot Dogs Are Really Made? @ Minds - "The truth is, eating processed meat, such as hot dogs, sausage or processed deli meats, is associated with a 42% higher risk of heart disease and a 19% higher risk of type 2 diabetes.Consumption of hot dogs, sausages and luncheon meats, along with other forms of processed meat, was also associated with the greatest risk of pancreatic cancer in a large multiethnic study.Eating too many processed foods with high sodium levels contributed to 2.3 million deaths from heart attacks, strokes and other heart-related diseases throughout the world in 2010, representing 15 percent of all deaths due to these causes, according to research presented at the American Heart Association’s Epidemiology and Prevention/Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism 2013 Scientific Sessions.The World Cancer Research Fund recommends people avoid all processed meats.The fund’s Dr Rachel Thompson said: “If everyone ate less than 70g a week — or two hot dogs — it would mean there would be 4,000 fewer cases of bowel cancer…”
- 1985 study in The New England Journal of Leiden Intervention Trial in the Netherlands ...“the 39 subjects in this study, all of whom had atherosclerosis at the beginning of the study, were placed upon a low-fat [(nuts, seeds, etc. are good fat. In my opinion they are talking about bad fat seen in heavily processed foods that have harmful chemical additives and meat,eggs and dairy-loaded with saturated fat),vegetarian diet for two years. Though most lost little or no weight, before and after angiograms showed that the progression of the disease had been halted. Dietary intervention had been all that was necessary.” Pg.72 in Big Fat Lies by Dr. Glenn A. Gaesser
- Study by Dr. David Blankenhorn called the Cholesterol Lowering Atherosclerosis Study “weighed 82 moderately overweight middle-aged men with heart disease.. after which the counseled them about eating a low-fat[vegetarian/vegan- dairy,eggs and meat have bad fats, as do hydrogenated oils] diet. Two years later they did follow-up weighings and angiograms, and interview the men about the extent to which they had followed the dietary advice. Those who had eaten a diet relatively low in fat.. showed no new fatty deposits on the walls of their arteries." Pg.73 in Big Fat Lies by Dr. Glenn A. Gaesser
