‘Fat But Fit’ Is A Myth, Study Confirms.
By Meera Senthilingam, CNN, August 14, 2017 (Edited for space)
“This study provides robust evidence that there is no such thing as ‘healthy obesity,’ ” said Metin Avkiran, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, who was not involved in the study. “The take-home message here is that maintaining a healthy body weight is a key step towards maintaining a healthy heart.”

September 29 is World Heart Day
Did you know that an overweight person’s heart has to work harder to pump blood? This is a growing concern because being overweight or obese are major risk factors for heart disease and stroke. By achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, you can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. A healthy weight can also help control other conditions such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and diabetes.

Managing Arthritis
September is Arthritis Awareness Month. The term Arthritis refers to over 100 conditions that affect the joints, surrounding tissues, and other connective tissues. While it is most common in adults aged 65 or older, it can affect anyone of any age, race, or ethnic group.

September 21 is World Alzheimer’s Day
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, and the number of people suffering from Alzheimer’s is expected to quadruple by 2050.
Obesity has been associated with an increased chance of developing this disease. The earlier you lose weight, the better your chances at prevention.
