Large Waistline, Tiny Brain?
Obese people's brains aged 16 years faster than those in a normal weight range; overweight people's brains aged 8 years faster. These findings are significant, considering that more than 60 percent of the U.S. population falls into one of these ranges.
Researchers were quick to point out the holistic effects of being heavy - it affects the entire body, not just the brain. Don't lose your mind - think about your choices and get moving to prevent a whole host of problems that obesity and carrying around extra weight can cause.
