The report "definitely won't be the last word", said Dr Michael Thun of the American Cancer Society, who pointed out, in a report released last week by the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research, that staying slim was the main recommendation for avoiding cancer.
Well isn't this good news!!!! hahahahah The best news I have heard all day!! Whilst being obese can cause disease and mortality and health professionals should continue to fight the increasing numbers of obese people; I do feel, and so do a lot of emerging alternative health professionals, that we are placing too much emphasis on achieving an unhealthy size 4/8 (UK). Rather than aiming to look like an emaciated runway model (Have you seen them recently???) we should be concerned about the quality of the food we eat and the environment we live in.
Hey, BTW for all you skinny people out there...... did you know that you are healthier to carry a bit of fat, as this article suggests, as the toxins that are in the environment (and these are rising in an alarming rate!!!!) get stored in our body fat. And if you don't have a bit of body fat, then the toxins store in your organs!!! I know which one I would prefer.
Life is about enjoyment! Hey we are only here once, so stop restricting yourself from calories, start investing time in eating good quality whole foods and 'live a little'. I am a healthy size 14 (UK), yes I want to slim down for my wedding to a size 12 (UK), but I know that I am healing my body from within and make sure that I eat good, plentiful, whole foods 85% of the time. I take supplements to ensure that I am getting all the necessary nutrients, I exercise regularly and I enjoy a drink and letting my hair down once and a while. I'm not perfect and I hope no one is, as life would be so boring.
So in essence, I say, bring it on lets unite and maintain our healthy lives from within and stop worrying about those extra few pounds!! Anyway, as men say, it's more sexy to have some curves on a woman! more to grab a hold of!!!
