Dangers of overweight

Are you one of those who must always worry about your weight?Is it hard to maintain a normal figure?then this post is for you
Two thousand five hundred years age Hippocrates,"the father of medicine,"and a very keen observer,noted that "fat men die suddenly!" This is still true.Not in every case,of course,bu sudden death occurs so often in fat people that doctors must raise a note of warning.Especially is this true in people who are sluggish and steadily gaining weight.In other words,the longer your waist,the Short your life line! Yes,it is very important to watch your weight,not allowing yourself to become too thin or too fat,but trying to remain near the ideal.
Most youngsters in their teens,if they are healthy and active,are fairly close to the ideal weight for their size and age.Why do so many of them change as they grow older?Usually because they no longer are as active as they were.
Changes often come o in the late twenties,reducing a person's physical fitness.Sluggish habits begin to develop as the individual loses his skill in running,swimming,or other healthy activities.Yet in spite of warning from nature,they continue losing their athletic figure.What a pity to change that youthful silhouette for a flabby,paunchy,unattractive appearance!
"but"you say "aren't most plump people rather jolly and good-natures?"Yes,that is quite true.They are usually pleasant and easy to get along with,but they are still overweight.most of them give all manner of excuses for their fatness.But in almost every case the only reason is that they are eating more than they themselves really need.In other words,extra weight is due to extra eating.
it is surprising what just a few extra calorics a day more than more actually needed will do to a fine,youthful-looking appearance.For instance,if you take just one extra slice of bread a day above your actual needs and continue this for five years you will add 45 pounds to your figure!In ten years you will gained 90 pounds.But the trouble doesn't stop there,not by any means.
All this extra fat puts a strain on your heart,kidneys,and liver,and also on the large weight-bearing joints,such as the hips,knees,and ankles.This means your body is wearing out more rapidly,carrying around all this extra weight.Those excess calories in your diet can be deadly.You are shortening your life at your own dining table.
