Strange question considering weight

[nasty]

I'm REAL lame, because I'm watching a Paid Program about weight lose. My question is, if we're all suppose to be different shapes and sizes, why is it unhealthy to be overweight? Hell, you could DIE from obesity.

He asks the question, then he answers the question.

Yes you did answer your own question...

But would you like me to answer it anyway?

Redundancy

Would your answer by any chance be: Hell, you could DIE from obesity?

Re: Redundancy

no, i was going to say.. Obesity can cause death..

 

[nasty]

My point was suppose to be, if you are suppose to be all different sizes, then WHY should you die from it. All answer my own point, BECAUSE YOU CAN, NASTY!!!!!!!!!!! Now stop wasting everyone's time. IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!

May I venture a guess?

It's one of the warning signs!

My God, the man is so rattled that he's starting to talk to himself! Before you know it, he'll be answering himself!

Wait a minute! He already did that, didn't he?

actually.. obesity indirectly causes death.. having excess fat causes strain on the heart, assuming you don't keep the heart in good shape.. the heart is just like all of the rest of the muscles in our body, if we dont use it, its not going to work when we want it to.

as i have expressed elsewhere on this board, i am overweight, but i am healthy and i know my weight wont cause the death of me. it all depends on how you take care of yourself. i go running 3 or 4 nights a week (good 3 miles.. sometimes more each time) plus the 7 flights of stairs up to my room quite a few times a day.. i know my heart is getting a good workout along with all the right nutrients (i take a daily vitamin, so even if i eat junk i get everything the body needs).. now, the girl across the hall from me is a twig and complains that some of her classes are so far away and takes the bus all the time.. when she has to take the stairs up, she's about to pass out from lack of oxygen by the time she gets here.. between the two of us (my doctor informed me of this awhile ago) i'm the more healthy one because i take care of myself, even though i have the extra weight

and as for some of the things that are associated with obesity (heart disease, strokes, heart attacks, etc) most are also associated with being unhealthy and obese at the same time. so its not so much the weight, but your health that's the issue

Who said we're all "supposed to be different sizes"? And what exactly does that mean? Our genetics certainly influence our height, bone structure, basic muscularity, and general body habitus. There's a lot of medical research to support the use of the "body mass index" (BMI), which is a formula by which all people can be judged with regard to a healthy body weight using their weight and height.

There is certainly a good bit of room within the BMI scale for "normal variations" in body size, but research shows that above certain a certain BMI a person's risk for a number of serious medical complications including heart disease, pulmonary disease, diabetes, and other problems dramatically increase.

We always hear that our culture is the obsessed with thinness in the world, yet only the Pima Indians and some South Pacific Islanders are fatter than we are. I have a few guesses to explain the paradox but it's odd.

It's another society issue. We are all born genetically different. We couldn't all be the same height, weight, etc., or things would be pretty boring. Except, if yall looked, and acted like me. That would be, "groovy, baby."

i think that'd get annoying after awhile actually

Probably they can't sleep because you're waking them with the putter. OH...you mean computer.

A weighty response ...

Hell, you could DIE from obesity.

well that's true dear ... i guess one could die from obesity <in really extreme cases> ...

but then again ... on the other hand ... one could die from anorexia ...<again a really extreme case> ...

soooooooo i guess we know it is unhealthy to be obese but also unhealthy to be too thin ...

it is best not to do anything to an extreme - no huge weight gain and no huge weight loss ...

everything in moderation .... ahhhhhh it all sounds so easy now .... lol ...

It's horribly ironic, to be quite honest with you, Nasty. As Isabella mentioned, you can die from obesity and anerexia. But what about perfectly healthy people who are dying with heart attacks? I just read last month of a 350 pound powerlifter who had died of a heart attack. Now while he was, considerably, overweight by biological standards, he was NOT predominately fat. This was a guy who bench pressed well over 600 pounds. He was in excellent health and had miraculous strength.
As I've often pointed out to people whom I've trained or explained nutritional supplements to, the human heart is the ONLY muscle in the body that works non-stop and at a particular pace. For example, when you sleep, your lungs slow down and your brain is at rest. But your heart pumps that same rythmic beat 24/7. It doesn't rest just because you're resting.
So it really doesn't matter the size or shape of the person, as I see it. When God punches the timecard of your life, there's no asking to work overtime.
