Most of us are not aware that being overweight or obese significantly accelerates aging. We have all heard that extra weight on the body increases your risk of chronic disease like cancer, diabetes, dementia, and heart disease, but probably don’t realize the extra fat also increases the aging process. It is no secret in healthcare that as people get older they are more likely to put on extra weight, and as a result increase their likelihood of being diagnosed with a chronic disease. As your risk of chronic disease increases you are also increasing the rate at which you age. Think about your health on a continuum with one end being “optimal health” and the other end being “disease.” As you move towards optimal health you are slowing down the aging process and as you move towards disease you are accelerating the aging process. #FatLossLabtip
