Fat kids aging 5 years a year?



If these OBESE kids are biologically 45 when they are ten, at 20 they could be 90...and dead!


Thank God, once again there is an answer.

The arteries of many obese children and teenagers are as thick and stiff as those of 45-year-olds, a sign that such children could have severe cardiovascular disease at a much younger age than their parents unless their condition is reversed, researchers said Tuesday.

"It's possible that they will have heart disease in their 20s and 30s," said Dr. Geetha Raghuveer of the University of Missouri at Kansas City, who led the study presented at a New Orleans meeting of the American Heart Assn.


The article points out that one child in six in the US is already obese. According to the findings of this study, fat children (I was one - when it was uncommon) are aging nearly 5 years for each year of their lives.

I have a hub page to help people flatten their tummy and end their food cravings EFFORTLESSLY. Go there no matter what your age is.

And let your email buddies know, too.

The best to you.
