A recently published article on Obesity caught my attention. We know the rising trend of obesity in America as well as in our part of the world. We are being fed continuouly with high fat and less nutritious fast foods. In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers looked at the patterns of morbidity and mortality (death) risk according to BMI in 90,185 women in the WHI study with an average follow-up of 7 years.
The results were alarming: compared with normal-weight women, the risk of dying was increased 12% in all women in obesity category 1, while risk was increased 86% over seven years in women in obesity category 3. This suggests that the risk of mortality from being obese is a continuum ….
“The more obese you are, the higher the likelihood of dying specifically from cardiovascular disease.”
So AGAIN… start doing something to improve your health. Dont just sit there. Stand Up and Move.
It’s never too late to start and be more disciplined. Remember a mere 7 to 10% weight loss is more than enough to reverse majority of the metabolic defects in the body associated with obesity!
Give Yourself A Break…Be FIT!
