New year begins, people flock to diets like lemmings to cliff edges.
The bad news: Some 95% of those diets will fail in the long run, and many of us will wind up heavier and less healthy than when we started.
But there's good news, too: Fitness may be even more important to your health than weight is. And fitness is something you can improve regardless of the number on the scale.
The latest in a series of studies have found that people with higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (a measure of how much oxygen your body uses during exercise) have less chance of early death than those with lower levels, even if they are considered overweight or obese. And it's way better, healthwise, to be fat and fit than to be thin and unfit.
If this is true, why aren't we hearing about it? One reason is that researchers, like the rest of us, are still entrenched in the "fat will kill you" mindset, and interpret their findings accordingly.
Another reason is that many of the studies on weight and health don't even ask participants about their fitness levels, let alone measure them.
Thirdly In our country,the so called fitness studios have more capability than us with crooked marketing experts to make them survive.
Some experts believe that fitness accounts for some of the more puzzling findings on weight and health, like the so-called obesity paradox: that, among sufferers of" chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, fatter people fare better and live longer than thinner ones.
Though I don't fully understand exactly how fitness, weight, and health interact. But it's clear that fitness is a crucial aspect of good health. So this year, resist the temptation to put yourself on a futile and potentially damaging diet, and find ways to get a little more active instead.
