Fat, Fit And Healthy. How to be healthy even if you are a little overweight.
Heavy and Fit?
Can a overweight person be fit if they exercise regularly but still is heavy and big. Of course, active overweight individual is already healthier than someone who is obese and sits on the couch most of the time. Carrying extra weight simply increases risk of conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Exercise does not erase all the risks of being heavy. Physical activity is important, but so is watching what you eat. Most studies show that both diet and exercise are important for diabetes prevention, for instance. And the study in journal Obesity suggests that people with the highest BMIs have unhealthy eating habits.

Playing down the problem of excess weight is dangerous. If you are heavy, you can cut your mortality risk by eating well and exercising – but research suggests that even active obese people are at 91 percent greater risk of dying than active people of normal weight. Even if you are eating right and exercising regularly but still carry extra weight, you have to make an effort to loose that weight to lower the risks.

It is OK to have fat on your body. It might get frustrating when you first start to exercise and workout, because you see all these images and videos of supper fit trainers and fitness instructors that has 0.00000001% of fat on their body. And you thing how long it is going to take me to get to the level like this. Actually you don’t have to – you can be healthy and fit and still let yourself have an ice cream or a chocolate from time to time. Getting fit is more realistic than getting slim. This would be the right direction to go, first to get your body stronger, get your muscles familiar with exercises and workout load. Little steps are very important, you have all the time you need, the important thing is to do it. It is far easier for a fat person to get fit first than to get thin.

Research did the study to find out if naturally skinny, thin people are healthier than fat and active folks. Here what they found: Overweight people who exercise just 150 minutes a week ( that’s 5 workouts 30 min each per week) have half the risk of mortality of normal-weight people who don’t exercise at all. Being physically fit and a little fat seems to be fine.
The same study does not apply when people are not just fat but obese (BMI 30 or more).

Weight alone does not raise disease risk – lack of fitness does.
