eating cheeseburgers every night and skipping the gym can be just as bad for your health? According to a recent study by researchers at the University of Oxford, being overweight can take years off your life, and in some cases may be as dangerous as smoking. Researchers determined that people with a body-mass index (BMI) of more than 40 (a BMI of 25 to 29 is considered overweight, and a BMI of 30 or more is obese) lost approximately 10 years off their expected lifespan—about the same amount of time you’ll lose by smoking. Those with a BMI of 30 to 35 shaved about 3 years off their lives. But just like you can choose to quit smoking, you can choose a healthier lifestyle that will help keep you on the planet for your family and loved ones. Eat a sensible diet, and do this 3-days-a-week exercise routine that will help you loose the belly by summer.
