MYTH BUSTERS #9

MYTH BUSTERS #9

You Cant Be Fit and Fat

The notion that all overweight people are sedentary, unfit and at
risk of developing health related diseases is simply not true.
Overweight and obese individuals who exercise regularly and
maintain good fitness levels do not have elevated mortality rates.
It has been shown that poor fitness is as good a predictor of dying
as other risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood
pressure and diabetes.
