CAN YOU BE FAT & HEALTHY?

NO.

 MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE FAT ARE LESS HEALTHY THAN THEY SHOULD BE.

OBESITY is one of the most urgent public-health threats today! Being overweight raises your risk for virtually every major illness: heart disease, type 2 diabetes, chronic arthritis and most cancers. When researchers at the American Cancer Society followed one million people for 16 years, they found the higher their body mass index, or BMI, the higher their risk of breast, uterine, stomach, and liver cancers. Experts are still debating whether obesity takes years off your life; it most certainly takes life out of  your years! Obesity makes every day things - walking up stairs, shopping, running after your children, mowing the grass, and just getting around on a daily basis- much more difficult!

The point is, if you want to be vital and active NOW and in your FUTURE- you will be far better off in every area of your life - if you MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT!

HAVE YOU WORKED OUT TODAY?
