A before the ceremony (2021-4-23), I received an email from WebMD, which was just published, titled Even a Little Belly Fat Ups Heart Disease Risk (of course, a little abdominal fat can increase the risk of heart disease). This reminds me of the slight fatter and better fortune I posted more than two months ago? Overwrite imagination? .
In this article, I criticize some media that list "healthy" or "good doctors" are really true that they sell dog meat because they are actually encouraging the public to choose an unhealthy life. For example, the overturning imagination published by "Yuanqi.com" on 2015-12-23! Japanese experts: A little fatter and more sturdy, and aging is accelerated by the light and simple food. "Healthy Cloud" published on 2017-1-30 will not always lose weight! "Slightly fat" is the healthiest! There are some good things. The "slightly fat" published by "Daily Health" on 2017-6-26 is the indicator of long-term poverty, the "slightly fat" published by "Good Medical Health" on 2018-5-16, and the "slightly fat" published by "Health 2.0" on 2020-7-16, are even longer! .
The reason why these media have made such wrong health guidance is mainly because they have heard the so-called expert one-sided words. For example, the Japanese doctor "Newly Opened the Second" mentioned in "Yuanqi.com" is this so-called expert. These so-called experts just naively use the Body Mass Index (BMI, body mass index, height and weight index) to determine whether a person is obese, but they do not know that using BMI as an obesity index is flawed.
For example, a bodybuilder has muscles in his body, but according to BMI, he is positioned as obese. In addition, of course, fat is also a good one: subcutaneous fat is good, but abdominal fat is bad. In particular, Asians usually have a higher proportion of abdominal fat compared to white people. Therefore, although it is also positioned as obese (BMI of 30 or above), Asians will also have higher health risks than white people. The article
WebMD is reporting a "Scientific Statement" just published in the medical journal Circulation. This journal is published by the American Career Association, so the "Scientific Statement" or "Standard Statement" it publishes is of course an indicative medical guidance.
This statement just published is Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association, and its most important sentence is: "Recent data has been emphasized, and abdominal obesity confirmed from waist is a cardiovascular risk indicator independent of BMI." As mentioned, "recent data" is actually very large, and the largest is A published in 2014. Pooled Analysis of Waist Circumference and Mortality in 650,000 Adults (total analysis of waist and mortality rates in 650,000 adults). This analysis found that the risk of death will still increase with the waist size of the so-called normal or healthy person, that is, people with a BMI between 20 and 25. Especially for middle-aged people, if they do not exercise frequently, their muscles will gradually be replaced by fat. Therefore, even if the overall weight and BMI remain unchanged, health risks will still increase with waist size.
In fact, it is clear that abdominal obesity is a very clear health risk. This scientific statement from the American Career Association recommends that waist measurements also include routine health checks, just like routine height, weight, and blood pressure.
I fully understand why those so-called "healthy" or "good medical" media say that slight weight is the healthiest and longest. First of all, some doctors who host "Health" programs on TV or experts who talk about nursing on YouTube are all big belly. For example, please see my anti-cancer food and nonsense. Therefore, since the hosts are all obese, health programs (or unhealthy programs) must of course tell the audience that slightly fat is the healthiest and longest.
Again, most people, especially middle-aged and elderly people, like to hear things like "It's okay to be fat". After all, it's really difficult to not be fat, so everyone will choose to escape and even seek comfort. Therefore, the media will consider their preferences and comfort obesity. But comforting obesity is one thing, and encouraging obesity is another thing. Unfortunately, the so-called "healthy" or "good medical" media are encouraging obesity because the messages they send will make people think that being slightly fat is healthier than not. However, from this scientific statement from the American Career Association, it is true that encouraging obesity is actually immoral.
Personally, we believe that "slightly fat" may be harmless, and may be different from others and cannot be discussed in general. However, since "fat" means "fat", it should never be the goal of pursuit. The most important thing is to have a balanced diet and exercise to help you relieve your muscles from fat. It is best to avoid being fat, but if you have done everything you can and are still slightly fat, then it will be natural and there is no need to worry too much.
No matter what, please do not believe that slight weight is the healthiest or longest.
