Title: Obesity Study
HEALTH AND OVERWEIGHT
New evidence demonstrate that over weight and even obesity might not be as harmful to your health as previously thought (Scientific American, June, 2005), could create a change in the attitude that most Americans have about diet. Indeed perhaps overweight might not be as damaging to health as other factors like stress and inactivity.
A moderate daily exercise routine, a good quality food diet and low stress levels could be more important to health after all than having a few extra pounds.
I truly agree with that statement because a lot of obese people are healthier than the average sized person. I have seen many obese people out live those who are the average sized. I also believe that many disorders that doctors and researchers say is caused be obese are possibly genetically related.
I think obesity is definitely wrong however being overweight might not be so bad. I like to be slender but is difficult to shed even a few pounds. I find getting rid of the problem is really solving a different problem “food addiction” whether genetic or learned is really a big pain to deal with.
