WW: The “Obesity Paradox” Explained

We have to be careful when buying into any new theory…

Regardless of the research behind it we need to ask ourselves if it fits with what we know to be true in health for the last 6000 years.

On today’s show, I want to go over the “Obesity Paradox” that shocked the health industry and share with you a new study that contradicts the original findings.

Tune into today’s #CabralConcept 2602 for all the details – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

 

1. What is the Obesity Paradox

The Obesity Paradox is based on a research study that concluded that people who were considered overweight were found to live the longest. This information was shocking to the health-based industry who had always believed that those who were leaner had a greater chance of living longer and less chance of disease.

2. Debunking the Obesity Paradox

Further investigation into this research shows that the data was skewed.  A new study shows that having an obese or overweight BMI can raise the risk of death by 91%.

3. My Recommendation

I do not believe there is one ideal body type, but I do believe there is an ideal overall weight for health. Find out what your BMI is and work to get to a healthy weight range.
