1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NCV You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit who is in you. You have received the Holy Spirit from God. So you do not belong to yourselves, because you were bought by God for a price. So honor God with your bodies.
A new study shows that being obese increases the risk of death calling into question the idea that someone can be obese and still be considered “healthy.”
The study showed people who were obese but did not have a metabolic problem such as high blood pressure or cholesterol problems were still 24% more likely to experience heart problems over a 10-year time frame when compared to people of normal weight.
The researchers from Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto declared “there is no ‘healthy’ pattern of obesity.”
Dr. Holly Wyatt of the University of Colorado said the findings are consistent with the idea that obesity itself is a disease. The American Medical Association first agreed with the idea earlier this year.
Critics accused the study researchers of misinterpreting their results.
