Beyond physical stress, fat cells release hormones that affect your metabolism and other biochemicals that cause inflammation and health problems throughout your body.

- Osteoarthritis
- Type 2 diabetes and additionally diabetes in the eyes
- Cancer (breast, endometrial, colon, and pancreas)
- High blood pressure and additional manifestations in the eyes
- High cholesterol
- Cardiovascular disease and associated disease in the eyes” eye strokes” etc
- Obstructive sleep apnea
