Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Did anybody catch this show late last night? I was absolutely blown away, they showed a autopsy on a 25 stone male cadaver, what I wasn't expecting was the effects of being overweight had on the organs, namely heart and lungs were totally pushed out of place, as he was carrying all this weight on the front. The lungs had shrunk; (the dr did a dramatization of how puffed and out of breath the person would have been to do the smallest effort, and I could immediatey relate to that)an enlarged heart (the poor muscle had doubled in size to compensate for the extra effort required to pump), but hindered in its efforts by the layer of fat that has engulfed it. The diagnosis; he had eaten himself to death. What a powerful image, I had no idea, am so glad that I have taken control to put the brakes on, now I need to activley reverse what I have done to my body. I think this is a series and am looking out for the next one. A very shell shocked Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
