The Problem With Being Overweight

Good question, several people ask this same one. So here is the facts the way I understand it.

When you remember yourself as being healthy and fit you might have been in school and playing sports or training for your next sport. You were somewhere between 18 and 22 years old and probably thinner than you are now. I'm using this as an example because most people fall into this

senerio.  When you are at a proper weight for your height and, you can find this out on several websites like WebMD, you might have a BMI or Body Mass Index of about 20 or a couple points higher. This is considered very good, you can ask your doctor, So what is "Body Mass"? It's the soft tissue in your body, muscle, fat, and any other soft tissue and 20 means that about 20% of this soft tissue is body fat.

That's a good number, but in general as we get more involved in making money, getting married, raising a family, we start to slow down our activity level and that's a normal part of life, but the mistake we make is slowing down on our calorie intake. We get use to consuming the same three meals a day, snacking on the same things and drinking the same things.

When we finally see our pants are too tight we decide it's time to lose some weight. Most people just start skipping meals to cut calories and that might work for a couple of weeks, but then you stop losing. You gained this extra weight by eating too much of the wrong foods, and you're not going to lose weight by eating less of those same foods.

The problem with gaining body fat is that you are slowing down your normal body functions. Your body has to keep all your body parts working properly and all your body tissue alive and that includes stored body fat. So if you have a BMI of 30 today instead of your normal BMI of 20, you're working your body overtime trying to feed blood to all parts of your oversize body. And when some of that body fat can no longer survive and that tissue dies, Cancer cells start to appear. Usually this happens over a long period of time and by correcting your diet you will feed the body more nutrients and stop any type of disease from spreading. Losing weight and changing to a health diet can prevent many different health problems. Start as soon as possible. By losing weight and giving your body more nutrients you will slow down aging, you'll have more energy, and be much happier.
