Some one has rightly said "health is wealth" in present century both these words seems quite correct as everything seems to have meaning only when an individual is blessed with sound health. In present world health seems to be the mantra for long term happiness and enjoyment in life. Even a single extra kilo of weight on an individual's body has long term side effects on the colors of life. To experience true colors of life make sure to keep extra weight away from your body. It is found in a recent research that carrying around even a few extra kilos may shorten your life. This latest study initiates masses to get into weight loss mode for better life and future.
It is a well known fact that middle-aged people who are obese face an increased risk of death. However, it has been less clear if that risk extended to people with just a few extra kilos.
A new study by the US National Cancer Institute says if you are in your fifties and are slightly overweight, your chances of dying during the next 10 years are 20 per cent to 40 per cent higher, recently reported. Michael F Leitzmann and other researchers who studied half a million Americans also found that the risk of death is applicable to healthy people with no history of smoking, even if they were only overweight at age 50, it said. Participants were between the ages of 50 and 71 at enrolment, and were studied for 10 years.
The researchers relied on self-reported estimates of current weight, and weight at age 50, taken from a questionnaire filled by participants. There were 61,317 deaths during the 10-year follow-up, with the overall risk of death highest among subjects who had the highest and lowest body weights as determined by body mass index (BMI), a ratio based on height and weight. Someone with a BMI of less than 18.5 is considered to be underweight. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal; 25 to 29.9 considered overweight; and 30 or greater is considered obese. For example, a 5.7-foot person would be considered overweight, but not obese, at a weight between 160 pounds (72.73 kg) and 190 pounds (86.36 kg).
Someone six feet tall who weighs between 185 (84.09 kg) and 220 pounds (100 kg) would also meet the BMI classification for overweight but not obese. The issue is of critical importance to the aging population of the US, where one in three adults are obese and another third are considered overweight. To check this trend now it becomes all important for US population to understand the importance of weight loss in life. Different ways and methods for weight loss in the world are present, this include fad ex diets, weight loss diet pills and exercise programs designed for the same idea of quick and long term weight loss.
"This study contributes in an important way to understanding the risks of being overweight and importance of weight loss in context of early mortality." Come and explore the whole new world of weight loss for better living and healthy life.
