French experts considered it necessary to finally dispel the myth that a person can simultaneously have big problems with being overweight and remain physiologically healthy at the same time.
Analysis of information on three million men and women showed that obese people, even if they are considered “healthy in terms of metabolism,” remain at increased risk of developing heart disease. Even if obesity is not accompanied by high blood pressure and diabetes, the risk of heart failure and heart failure is increased by 34% (compared to those who are not overweight).
This data was released by cardiologists from the Trysseau University Hospital. Not so long ago, American scientists stated that regular exercise, not diet, is the key to increasing life expectancy.
