Risk of Disease Drops with Reduced Body Fat

New York, NY (I-Newswire) November 8, 2011 - Several recent studies have concluded that weight loss may not be healthy, and that being fit is more important than maintaining a normal weight. Some of these studies have cited the toxins stored in body fat and released during fat loss. Other times, weight loss is linked to increased incidence of death from various causes. Are these criticisms valid?

“There is no question that poor diet and excess weight increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, fatty liver disease and many metabolic disorders,” say boomer generation health experts Dian Griesel, Ph.D., and Tom Griesel, authors of the new book TurboCharged: Accelerate Your Fat Burning Metabolism, Get Lean Fast and Leave Diet and Exercise Rules in the Dust (April 2011, BSH). “It is also true that ingested toxins are often stored in body fat. When it comes to the elderly, it is unintentional weight loss that is linked to higher risk for infection, depression and death.”

The Griesels say that following a natural, nutrient-rich diet consisting of the foods our bodies are best equipped to digest and process, will result in many health benefits. “When combined with appropriate activity levels, improvements in biomarkers, body composition and wellbeing come quickly,” notes Dian. “There is no downside or increased risk of disease or death when weight is intentionally lost and body composition improved with this formula. Using a simple, non-fad approach is the most efficient way to accomplish the goal of a lean and healthy body that can be maintained for life.”

“Even if overall longevity is not extended, the improvement in quality of life is what makes the effort worthwhile,” adds Tom. “Decreased risk of many modern diseases, decreased need for drug intervention, reduced healthcare costs and increased energy and mobility, which are often lost in later years, are all important reasons to take better care of yourself now.”
