Obesity is associated with chronic, low-grade inflammation, which plays a significant role in the development of obesity-related diseases. Inflammatory cytokines, molecules secreted by fat cells, are a primary factor in this process. These cytokines interfere with normal metabolic functions, leading to insulin resistance, cardiovascular problems, and other health complications. The increased secretion of these cytokines in individuals with obesity can worsen the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar and fat metabolism. Strategies aimed at reducing inflammation, such as regular exercise, anti-inflammatory diets, and weight loss, can help decrease cytokine levels. By reducing inflammation, individuals with obesity may improve their insulin sensitivity, enhance metabolic function, and reduce the risk of developing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, leading to better overall health outcomes.
