HOW OBESITY CAN LITERALLY CRUSH THE EYESFat Girl

 

As childhood obesity is becoming more prevalent, being overweight can lead to impaired vision!

 

Dr. Desai has seen several young overweight patients develop a swelling of the Optic Nerve Head (the nerve in the back of the retina that allows vision) called Pseudotumor Cerebre . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiopathic_intracranial_hypertension

This can cause eventual loss of vision!

Since 1980, there has been a 3 fold rate of obesity of children age 06 to 19!  Currently, 16% of children in the United States are obese.

 

High carbohydrate diet and a lack of exercise greatly increase the risk of obesity!  Because carbohydrate addiction is real, seeing an integrative psychotherapist is one important tool to reduce cravings for sugar.  Locally in Brewster, Marci Kniffin can help with this.  www.mindbodyputnam.com    By Dr Jay S.
