The relationship between Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF) and body mass index (BMI) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality risk has revealed that being fit and healthy might be much more important than overall bodyweight.
“ The study published by British Journal of Sports Medicine last month, was conducted by researchers from the University of Virginia and is a systematic review and meta-analysis of over 40 years of research into the relationship between Fitness, Weight , cardiovascular disease and mortality. According to results their was no difference in the risk of mortality between those who were overweight Fit obese, fit, or either of the test groups. Unfit individuals who were either normal weight, overweight, or obese all shared same two-fold risk in all - cause mortality versus normal weight fit people.”
Bottomline, being fit seems to help defend against death, either from CVD or all causes, regardless of if your overall weight or BMI. Too reverse death, make lifestyle changes to live longer. Visit Blamelessbodyfitness.com to set up
