Obese Should Exercise Not 'Diet'


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6206572.stm
Obesity is becoming increasingly common in developed countries and is associated with an increased risk of hypertension, heart disease, and other chronic diseases. We used to think that exercise and diet is the only road to lose fat. But the recent research have a difference of opinions. They said that despite only a small amount of weight loss, the women in the program ended up significantly fitter. A healthy life style could improve health risks regardless of weight. We can improve fitness without losing weight as we can gain muscle and lose fat and weigh the same or even gain weight. It is quite well known that we can improve our life style and reduce our risk of cancer, stroke and heart disease.
