Weight loss surgery, is this an alternative of P90x Workouts

As there is an increase in obese and overweight people in US. According to Dr. Sheldon Litwin, chief of cardiology at the Medical college of Georgia, obesity is a risk factor for many types of heart problems, including heart failure, atrial fibrillation and death. Obese people often show signs of structural changes to the heart, including excess heart muscle mass in the left ventricle and enlargement of the right ventricular cavity. Both are linked to heart failure and various other problems.

"We know obese people get cardiovascular disease more often than non-obese people," Litwin said. "One of the questions out there is: Is it reversible if they lose weight? The answer is yes."

"Would it be better if people could lose weight by eating better and exercising more? Probably yes," Litwin said. By using fitness program like P90x program it can be done."But in general those lifestyle changes are ineffective, particularly in people who are severely obese.", thus people avoid following fitness program like P90x in search of easy options.

"There are innumerable known benefits to gastric bypass surgery on most of the 60-odd diseases associated with obesity a patient may have," Kaplan said. "The question isn't if gastric bypass works. It does work. The issue has been at what cost, both in terms of health risks and financial? This study provides evidence, there are additional substantial benefits with respect to heart muscle function, and we should consider gastric bypass more often in the appropriate patients." Hence following a proper fitness program or a healthy lifestyle will benefit more in any sense.

The next step is to follow patients beyond two years to see if they maintain their weight loss, improve their heart health, and if they have less heart trouble over the long term, said Litwin, who was at the University of Utah when he did the research.
