A study noted by the Life Extension Foundation News confirms what calorie restriction practitioners have been demonstrating for years: that even a little excess weight significantly raises your risk of suffering age-related conditions. “Even having a body mass index within the normal range exposed people to several serious illnesses … men with BMIs between 22.0 and 24.4, the upper range of ‘normal,’ were significantly more likely to develop at least one of the weight-related illnesses than their leaner peers with BMIs between 18.5 and 21.9. Although BMIs below 25 are healthy, BMIs below 22 are healthier.” Food for thought. Have you looked into calorie restriction yet?
