Obesity In Middle-Aged Women Produces Unhealthy Elderly

Obesity in middle-aged women, ages 40-50 years, makes them nearly 80
percent more likely to suffer health problems by age 70, a study shows.
New data indicates that women who are obese during their fifties are nearly
80 percent more likely to suffer health problems by age 70.
A 20-year study of more than 17,000 women of various ages � none of whom
had any major health issues when the study began � found that the women who
were obese at midlife were 79 percent less likely to be healthy in their
70s.
Problems included cardiovascular disease and various cancers. And, the
women who had been overweight since their youth were most at risk for
problems later on. According to the research, every 2.2 lbs. of extra
weight lowered the woman�s odds of being healthy at age 70 by 5 percent.
Interestingly, all of the study subjects were nurses. The study�s authors
said the message is clear: to live long and stay healthy, women are wise to
maintain a healthy weight throughout adulthood.

5. Should I cut back on fat to lose weight?
The goal is to cut back on calories, and a common mistake is to focus
only on fat. Fat is satisfying, and in the long run low fat diets have
generally failed as a way of weight control. For good health, the type
of fat is more important than the amount; eat plenty of unsaturated
fats, limit saturated fat, and avoid trans fat.

Gary Taubes questions the advice of substituting unsaturated fats for
saturated, as well as low fat diets, in his book "Good Calories, Bad
Calories".

The best advice that I can give is to avoid sugar, white flour, and
white rice, and eat 5 portions a day of fruit and vegetables.
Good luck.

And if you do eat white rice better eat beans. In fact, I recommend
beans as a major protein source. Beano or other targeted enzyme may be
necessary in the big inning.

Yeah, but it is still carbs. Better to emphasize protein, fat, and
veggies.
