Fitness, Not Fatness, Key To Long Term Health

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

I hope you had a great weekend!

This last week I saw a report from JAMA, want to know what it was?

First want to know what JAMA is?
It’s the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The report said that fit people who are overweight have less of a
risk from health complications than unfit people who were normal weight.

How can you be fit and overweight. Fitness had more to do with how
well conditioned you are and how much exercise you do which helps
to eliminate internal fat around the vital organs.

Even if you are blessed with a perfect body and don’t exercise, you’ll
have a higher chance of health complications than someone who is not
so thin and exercises regularly.

The moral of the story, keep exercising. No matter what level you’re
at, it’s important to keep exercising to keep healthy. You don’t have
to have a beach body to be healthy.

The study promoted physical activity on most days of the week.

Let’s cover that again - most - that means more than 1 or 2 days a week.
