As for the article, my
without having done virtually any reading on the subject is this: It is known that fat is where many toxins collect in the body. So it follows that the less fat you have, the less toxins you are generally exposed to, which likely a contributing factor to longer life. Also, being overweight is correlated with persons level of
quality physical activity being lower, and physical activity stimulates the body's immune system and decreases levels of stress hormones, which also will help lead to better survival outcomes. Does this actually lead to a longer life? Longer by how much no one can really know. I mean do YOU know when you are 'supposed' to die? So how can you know if you actually ARE living longer by doing the 'right' things???? *shrug*
There was just a radio blip yesterday on our local station about a dude who just celebrated his 100th birthday, who smokes (since he was 20) and drinks hard liquor
every day.
Stop worrying and spend that time enjoying the things around you, and frankly, whatever life you have been alotted should be better quality, which IMHO is better than quantity.
