 Anyone who is overweight could have told you this many times over, but a recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine proves this scientifically.
The findings, based on national health data collected from 5,440 US adults, shows that weight is often not a very reliable measure of health. Overall, thin people were still metabolically healthier than people who were overweight or obese. But being a normal weight was not a reliable indicator of health. In the study, about 24 percent of thin adults, or about 16 million people, posted unhealthy levels for at least two of the risk factors. |

Let’s get one thing straight. I will never be a stick insect size 10 with the ability to run the marathon. But, I adamantly believe it is possible to be fit, even if I am considered morbidly obese. |
