Are you living the recipe for a shorter life?

As we all know an overweight child most often becomes an overweight adult. The majority of obese children leave adolescence for an adult life already ripe with health concerns. And according to a study by Harvard’s School of Public Health, those lives often end prematurely. The Harvard study evaluated the health habits and medical records of more than 100, 000 women, through this study researchers found that those women who were overweight or obese at age 18 had a far greater risk of dying from cancer or heart disease before reaching middle age.
According to Dr. Pavel Bence more than one-third of U.S. children are overweight or on their way to becoming overweight.

The physical and emotional strain on an overweight child is compounded by the type of behavior uncovered in this study. The obese youth were found less likely to exercise, and more likely to have smoked and consumed alcohol. Let me be the master of the obvious: This is a recipe for a shorter life, states Dr. Bence.
