Who is the heaviest person in the world? Surely many of you have asked this question. In the modern world, the problem of excess weight is not only the result of eating high-calorie foods, but also the consequences of various diseases. So, in this article we will talk about the fattest people that history knows.
John Brower Minnock
This American resident from the city of Bainbridge, Washington, with a height of 185 centimeters, weighed 635 kilograms. He was so huge that it took thirteen people to even turn him over from his back to his side. It didn't take long for him to gain weight. At first, he even worked in a local taxi, but with an increase in body weight, he had to leave this occupation. According to official figures, Minnock is the heaviest man in history. Doctors repeatedly tried to help the poor fellow, and he even managed to say goodbye to 419 kilograms in two years. However, after being discharged from the hospital, in just a week, Minnock gained 91 kilograms. No matter how experts tried to normalize the statesick and put his body in order, but their efforts were in vain. In 1983, the heaviest man in the world died at the age of 42.
Manuel Uribe
Until 2008, he held this "dishonorable" title. But tired of such a life, when it is impossible to perform elementary actions, Uribe turned to television with a request for help. Nutritionists helped him get rid of 200 kilograms (initially, his weight was 572 kilograms). Today Manuel is a happy husband and father.
Paul Mason
The heaviest living person in the world began to gain weight at a young age (he weighed 160 kilograms at the age of 26). His attempts to lose weight were unsuccessful. Then Mason turned to the doctors with a request to reduce the size of the stomach, but he was refused. To date, Paul has a weight of 445 kilograms. His lifestyle is almost complete immobility. Around the bed are many devices that help him: medical equipment, food, water and even toilet paper. He is under the care of the state.
Carol Yeager
She can be considered the fattest woman. True, her record is not officially registered. The weight of a woman with a height of 170 centimeters was 554 kilograms. Carol owns two records at once: the first is her weight, which was set in
the day of her death, and the second - the maximum number of kilograms that she managed to throw off - 136.
Donna Simpson
This woman, having a weight of 273kilogram, dreams of getting the title of "The heaviest man in the world" and being in the "Guinness Book of Records". Donna is married and has a child. By the way, once she already managed to become a record holder, or rather, to get the status of "the heaviest mom." During the extraction of the baby, 30 doctors were required. I would like to note that in order to achieve her goal, Donna must recover as much as twice.
Jessica Leonard
At the age of seven, the girl weighed 222 kilograms. According to her mother, she had to buy a lot of fast food for her daughter, otherwise she was hysterical. Thanks to the efforts of doctors, Jessica managed to get rid of 140 kilograms, but to this day the treatment continues. The girl hopes that she will be able to avoid the title of "Heaviest Man".
These are the stories of overweight people. Unfortunately, most of them ended tragically. Blame it on malnutrition and incurable diseases.
