Live Longer: Researchers at Oxford University found in 2009 that people who were moderately fat, with a BMI from 30 to 35, lost about three years of life. People who were morbidly fat - those with a BMI above 40 - lost about 10 years off their expected lifespan, similar to the effect of lifelong smoking. Moderately obese people were 50 percent more likely to die prematurely than normal-weight people, said Gary Whitlock, the Oxford University epidemiologist who led the study.
Obesity is now ranked alongside smoking when it comes to reducing life expectancy. The top 2 causes of Mens death in the UK are heart attack and stroke. If you are more that 20% overweight then you fall within the danger zone of being more susceptible to high blood pressure, and clogged arteries.
Keep Healthier: Professor Tim Key, an expert on diet and cancer, said:” It is now well established that being overweight increases the risk of developing several types of cancer. ” The World Cancer Research Fund discovered that a healthier diet could prevent 3 out of 4 cases of bowel cancer.
Gary Whitlock, the Oxford University epidemiologist said that obese people were also two thirds more likely to die of a heart attack or stroke, and up to four times more likely to die of diabetes, kidney or liver problems. They were one sixth more likely to die of cancer.
This really emphasizes the importance of weight gain, said Dr. Arne Astrup, a professor of nutrition at the University of Copenhagen. Even a small increase in your BMI is enough to increase your risks for cardiovascular disease and cancer. ld prevent 3 out of 4 cases of bowel cancer.
