Obesity... It's a bad thing right? Not necessarily. I'm not saying being extremely overweight is a good thing and is what you should be aiming for. No, what I'm saying is that some body fat is a good thing. According to a research study of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, women who are full-figured have less chance of having plaque-clogged arteries. These plagued-clogged arteries are catalysts for heart attacks and strokes. To be more specific about this "good" kind of fat, being overweight is not a bad thing as long as it's in the right places. This is hard to believe but the extra weight has a protective effect. Just as the article says, "this isn't a ticket to eat all you want and become a couch potato." Having some fat is the protective shield your body needs.
