Overweight -- not just obesity, but being overweight --
accounts for 14 to 20% of deaths by cancer, report researchers
in a major new study, (Overweight, obesity, and mortality
from cancer in a prospectively studied cohort of US adults,
2003, Calle).
Reliable
Research
This
wasn't a small, out-of-context study. Over 900,000 adults
were studied over 16 years. And the researchers estimate
that more than 90,000 cancer deaths each year could be avoided
if every American maintained a healthy weight.
Researchers
report; "we estimate that current patterns of overweight
and obesity in the U.S. could account for 14 percent of
all deaths from cancer in men and 20 percent of those
in women."
The
study shows that the risk of dying from cancer from being
overweight is 52% greater than men of normal weight, and
62% higher for women.
The
Take Home
It's
extremely important that you fight excessive bodyfat and
defeat the weight-gain associated with the middle-age somatopause.
The
commercials on TV say it's easy. They are lying to you!
It's tough to lose weight. But you can do it. And
you'll love the benefits of your hard work.
Successful
weight loss plans will have at least 3 hours a week for
exercise, and call for a balanced diet in moderation. Level
One of the fitness plans in my book takes 3.5 hours per
week.
There's
not an easy way. Fad diets don't work! They'll leave you
with more bodyfat than when you started. The only thing
that's lighter is your wallet.
Millions
have successfully lost weight, and kept it off when they
followed a commonsense, balanced diet - in moderation,
long-term approach coupled with a planned exercise program.
Make
the commitment today to follow the 3.5 hour per week Ready,
Set, Go fitness plan for eight-weeks.
