Skin

The skin is the largest organ of the human body. Its size (about 20 square feet on an average sized adult) and external location make it susceptible to a wide variety of diseases, disorders, discolorations and growths, as well as to damage from the environment and the aging process. The skin is one of the most vulnerable organs of the body. Though seldom life threatening, skin disorders can be uncomfortable and may cause chronic disabilities. In addition, because the skin is so visible, skin disorders can lead to psychological stress.

Cancer and Weight

Cancer occurs when cells in one part of the body, such as the colon, grow abnormally or out of control. The cancerous cells sometimes spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States.
Being overweight may increase the risk of developing several types of cancer, including cancers of the colon, esophagus and kidney. Overweight women may also have to deal with uterine and postmenopausal breast cancer. Gaining weight during adult life increases the risk for several of these cancers, even if the weight gain does not result in overweight or obesity.
Doctors are unsure how being overweight increases the risk of cancer. It may be that fat cells release hormones that affect cell growth, leading to cancer. In addition, eating or physical activity habits that may lead to being overweight may also contribute to cancer risk. Avoiding weight gain may prevent a rise in cancer risk. Healthy eating and physical activity habits may lower cancer risk. Weight loss may also lower the risk, although studies are inconclusive.
