Due to my overeating, I occasionally have weight problems. Although exercise is suggested to reduce weight, I find the activity to be boring and tiring.

Obesity is a complex disorder involving an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern. It increases your risk of diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Triglycerides are another type of fat in your blood. When you eat more calories than your body can use, it turns the extra calories into triglycerides.

The problem is that most Americans consume way too much through high-fat, high-carb diets. This only adds to the cholesterol that is already naturally produced by the liver.

A low-fat, low-carb diet, by contrast, can help maintain a higher concentration of HDL (which the body uses to excrete LDL from the body) and a lower concentration of LDL (which can clog arteries and form plaque).

Every night, I take a pill that regulates my cholesterol levels because i have Familial hypercholesterolaemia. Unfortunately, on the day I was writing this, I had forgotten why I take that pill and what said pill is called.

While most of us have been advised about the dangers of high cholesterol and the ways to avoid it, there are indeed situations where your cholesterol may be too low. These have to do with specific aspects of your cholesterol profile, rather than your total cholesterol itself. Having suboptimal levels of "good" high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol increases the risk of hypertension and heart disease. And while having too much "bad" low-density lipoprotein (LDL) increases your risk of heart attack and stroke, data suggests an association, but not a causal relationship, between having too little and an increased risk of certain cancers, mood disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is often called “bad” cholesterol. It delivers cholesterol to the body. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is often called “good” cholesterol. It removes cholesterol from the bloodstream.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance your body uses to protect nerves, make cell tissues, and produce certain hormones. Your liver makes all the cholesterol your body needs. Your body also gets cholesterol directly from the food you eat (such as eggs, meats, and dairy products). Too much cholesterol can have negative impacts on your health.

Although I never had diabetes, the amount of sugar I consume may lead to complications. In my strange sense of humor, I think the word (and only the word) “diabetes” is cute.

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is common among people with diabetes and can occur even when you're carefully managing the condition.

"Hypoglycemia happens when the amount of blood glucose (sugar in the blood) drops to a level that's too low to sustain normal functioning," says Erin Palinski-Wade, RD, CDE, author of 2 Day Diabetes Diet. "In most people, this is defined as a blood-sugar level below 70 milligrams per deciliter."

Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood.

Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. The underlying cause of diabetes varies by type. But, no matter what type of diabetes you have, it can lead to excess sugar in your blood. Too much sugar in your blood can lead to serious health problems.

Because of their sweetness and better taste, I prefer food with sugar in them than food without sugar. As such, I sometimes sneak candy.

Our bodies still need sugar. Glucose comes from the Greek word for "sweet." It's a type of sugar you get from foods you eat, and your body uses it for energy. As it travels through your bloodstream to your cells, it's called blood glucose or blood sugar.

Consuming high levels of sucrose can lead to weight gain because the body uses the glucose in the sugar right away, but stores the fructose later as fat. This can lead to complications for diabetics like weight gain and increased insulin resistance.

Eating too much sugar can make you gain weight and can also cause tooth decay.

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate that comes in many different forms. In its simplest form it is called a monosaccharide and includes:

Glucose (occurs naturally in fruits and plant juices)

Fructose (occurs naturally in fruits, some root vegetables, cane sugar and honey)

Galactose (combines with glucose to form lactose)

Sucrose (white sugar, contains equal parts glucose and fructose.)
