"It's just a few extra pounds."
Or is it?
In the 2008 Physician's Health Study, researchers tracked 21,094 male doctors for two decades. They found that even those who were only modestly overweight had a higher risk for heart disease, and the risk grew along with the amount of extra weight.
The average age of the men at the outset of the study was 53. During the study, 1,109 of them developed heart failure. Overall, the risk of heart failure increased by an average of 180 percent in those who met the definition of obesity as measured by body mass index (with a BMI of 30 or higher), and by an average of 49 percent in those who met the definition of overweight (with a BMI of 25 to 30).
And what about "all those hours" needed for exercise?
Yet another myth busted by the study: "As far as vigorous physical activity is concerned, even if somebody said they exercised one to three times per month - which is a very low level of exercise - they had an 18 percent reduction in the risk of heart failure after accounting for all other established risk factors," said head researcher Dr. Satish Kenchaiah.
It's time to get serious about losing that little bit of flab. Long-term studies like this one show how beneficial it can be.

H2O Weight Loss
File this one under "hard to believe." Still, researchers from California believe they have found a simple - free - way to lose weight.
The researchers looked at 173 overweight women (aged 25-50) who reported drinking less than one liter of water per day. These women were then instructed to increase their water consumption, and were studied for a year.
Remarkably, the researchers found that the increased water intake was associated with a significant increase in both weight loss and fat loss. The results suggest that if an overweight woman drinks less than one liter of water per day, the simple act of drinking more water may be beneficial.
The researchers think that drinking the water may promote weight loss by lowering total energy intake and/or altering metabolism. So while it is hard to believe that weight loss could be that simple, the results of this study support the many personal trainers and nutritionists who insist that their weight-loss clients immediately begin drinking more water.
If you drink next to no water, add three cups of water per day to what you're already drinking this way: Drink one cup immediately upon waking, another cup as soon as you get to work, and a third cup in the afternoon, just before you leave work. That's easy, isn't it? And it might just give your fat loss a boost.
