I’ve had overweight friends who seemed pretty active, physically coordinated and generally healthy, and now science has accepted that fact, too.
Recent reports show that about half of over weight people and about a third of obese people in the US have normal cholesterol, blood pressure and other criteria for physical health.
On the other hand, about a quarter of people with normal weight were determined to be at risk of heart disease or diabetes.
