According to a new study presented at the American Psychological Association's 120th Annual Convention, individuals who are overweight or obese could gain ten years worth of health benefits by simply losing 20 pounds...A benefit of the study is that we should no longer pay for Type 2 diabetics, since it remains a disease of choice.
Rather than receiving drugs, study participants were shown how to change their behavior. Results from the study revealed that modest weight loss (average 14 lbs) reduced the risk of individuals developing Type 2 diabetes by 58%.

"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
