The obesity: a shield against the old age?
How to deny that a trademark of average man of middle-aged is the friendly tummy? This may not mean obesity! You may be the beginning of the same, and that is why it should be attentive to not leave developed too.
The reasons are obvious, and a recent study carried out in Finland has added arguments to prevent the obesity in middle age to check that it not only can hurt in the short and medium-term, but it has discovered a interesting paradox to develop in old age that is precisely we are talking about below.
Studying more than 1,000 men, the scientists led by Dr Timo Strandberg and that published his study in theEuropean Heart Journal have discovered that in those cases of men obese than in old age lost their weight could suffer more health problems that those who continued to be obese.
For example, take the case of a person who at age 40 is obese and that as they pass the years is losing weight. Scientists identified the fact that these people became more vulnerable to the elderly, taking more risks of fractures or injuries that those who had retained its overweight.
In this case the obesity would work in the same way in which he would make a protective shield, strengthening the agency at least in terms call “mechanical”.
However, of course that the ideal is not fatten and remain obese by the rest of your life. On the contrary, maintain a healthy weight in the youth and to keep along in life is to what we must all aim.
