The world as we have it today is filled with billions of people with various heights, cultures, weights, beliefs, occupations, diets, hobbies and many more peculiar features. With birth and death rates constantly increasing and reducing numbers, we have new varieties everyday. Show Science already proves that most of these bodily features are influenced by genetics. Since these genes are more probable than certain, we have very exceptional genes like very dense weights, giant-like heights and so many others in certain persons. Our concern here is the heaviest people ever lived. Sounds intriguing right? Read on to learn more! 1. Jon MinnocJon Brower Minnoch was an American man who, at his greatest weight of 1,400 lb, was the heaviest person ever being documented.

Minnoch’s weight continuously increased until his hospitalization in March 1978, at the age of 36, for heart and respiratory failure. Minnoch was diagnosed with enormous global edema, a disorder in which the body collects an abnormally large amount of extracellular fluid.

By February 2008, this had been accomplished with the assistance of physicians and nutritionists. However, he died on May 26, 2014, in his birthplace, weighing 869 pounds (394 kg).

Juan held the Guinness World Record for being the world's heaviest man. Today, he no longer holds the title. Two years ago, Juan left his hometown for Guadalajara, Jalisco, to undergo surgery at a specialized clinic. He was gaining around nine kilos every year of his life and his financial situation did not allow him to put a stop to his unhealthy ways. According to a report, Juan said: 'When I was six I weighed almost 60 kilograms, and that was not because I didn't take care but because it was a disease I was born with.' A car accident at the age of 17 led to him gaining more weight.

Now, for the first time in years, a title-less Juan was able to get out of bed, walk, wash and get dressed. He aims to lose another 138 kilograms. “Before, I took around six to 10 steps and then I had to sit down. Now I can walk more than 100 steps, even 10 laps of 40 steps. It’s a breakthrough.” Juan told the newspaper Milenio. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Mexico leads globally in obesity with 35 per cent of its adolescents overweight or obese. A Mexican man who weighs more than half a ton is attempting to lose weight with the help of local doctors. Juan Pedro Franco, 33, weighed a shocking 93 stone (595kg) by his mid-20’s with the Guinness World Records declaring him the heaviest person alive in 2017. But now, after years of being confined to his bedroom, Franco is embarking on a life-changing weight loss journey. RecommendedIn a short film made by Natasha Pizzey-Slegert for the BBC, Franco explains that following a car accident at the age of 17, half his body was “broken” and he never fully recovered. However, doctors remain baffled as to why he gained so much weight. Since then Franco has developed diabetes, high blood pressure and hypothyroidism The 33-year-old insists that he has tried everything to shift the pounds but after years with no success, he is finally getting surgical help. One year ago, Franco moved several hours from his home to be closer to doctors and managed to lose a third of his body weight under their guidance.  Juan Pedro Franco left the house for the third time in seven years for his final operation (BBC) Having been rejected by a number of doctors, he now has a team of 30 professionals helping him for free. “Patients like him typically get rejected for two reasons. Beds, operating room and special tools for them,” Dr Jose A. Castaneda explained. “The second is the blame, ‘it’s your fault you’re here.’ But that’s really not how it is.” A girl looks over at the artist, seeming to size her up Haley Morris-Cafiero The performer has taken thousands of photos over six years Haley Morris-Cafiero Morris-Cafiero’s photos have provoked mixed reactions Haley Morris-Cafiero Women crossing a street cast their gazes in Morris-Cafiero’s direction Haley Morris-Cafiero Franco has since undergone a two-part gastric bypass which involves diving the intestine into two parts; one which will be able to absorb nutrients, and another that can’t. The operation should mean Franco only absorbs about 40-50% of the calories he eats. Recovering well, doctors hope that he will get own to around 19 stone (120kg) in the coming months. The two-part gastric bypass means Franco only absorbs 40-50% of the calories he eats (BBC) Hopeful for the future, Franco says the first thing he wants to do when he can walk is go outside. “I want to feel the air, feel the street, be outside,” he said. “Because being in bed, trapped in four walls just watching everything is really hard.” |
