Scientists have shown that chubby people lose weight at birth is dangerous and it is not necessary

For many years, nutritionists and endocrinologists argue about whether it is necessary to torture yourself diets to people who are not stout, for whatever reason, and so was born. And now a new study of the impact of body weight on longevity. Canadian researchers found that people with excess weight, but are in good shape, will live as long as their slim peers. Moreover, death from heart problems they face a lesser extent.

A group of researchers led by Dr. Jennifer Cooke of York University in Toronto, reviewed the status of full 6000 Americans and Canadians for the 16-year period. The data about their mortality rates were compared with those of slender people, reports The Independent. Commented Dr. Cook: "Our work suggests that not all overweight people should lose weight. Moreover, an attempt to lose weight may be more dangerous than having a high weight. However, if the person should live a healthy lifestyle, eat right, move."

According to the observations, healthy, but full of people from birth, throughout life rarely sick, had a more optimistic and less likely to try to lose weight with the help of hard, stressful for the body measures. Besides plump people with 5-7 pounds of excess weight are more likely to be active and eat healthy foods.

But we must not forget that the excess weight more than 10 pounds of the formula: height in cm minus 100, is obesity, which still need to get rid of.
