A major Study, that is qouted in the New York Times, concludes that an obese youth whom later in life loses weight can decrease his or her chances of heart disease. This is a bit of a turn around from an earlier study that concluded that if you are obese as a child then your chances of heart disese are the same as when you reach middle age. To me, this current Harvard Study reinforces the market for middle age Fitness Training and is very timely. Not only can losing weight in our middle age make us look and feel great, it also reduces our chances of dying from heart disease. The opportunity to help people is what fulels my passion for Physical Fitness and Nutritonal eating.
