We've all heard the sayings "you are what you eat" and "it's what's on the inside that counts". Well, listen to this. Fat (active people) may be healthier than their skinny (inactive) colleagues.
I am a TOP PERSONAL TRAINER in ATLANTA and have had skinny clients whose bodyfat I have tested that were obese. These people thought that just because they looked skinny that they were healthy and fit. They were eating and drinking whatever they wanted to and did not exercise because they looked skinny. They thought that the numbers on their scale were a good indicator or their health. Needless to say, they were in shock. Sedentary people are at much higher risk of mortality and heart problems than obese active people.
Some doctors believe that internal fat surrounding vital organs like the heart, pancreas and liver could be more dangerous than the visible fat seen near the surface of people's skin.
Therefore my friends, don't rely on how skinny you look or what the scale says to be the sole indicator in determining how healthy you are. Try to eat healthy, exercise consistently and have your bodyfat tested frequently to get a better indication of your health.
Are you healthy? Take the time to find out. Contact me at brett@brettthebodyarchitect.com
