In Praise of Fit and Fat Women

Interesting article in the Globe and Mail today about a study finding that inactivity is a greater heart risk than obesity. "Lack of physical fitness is a stronger risk factor for developing heart disease than being overweight or obese," said Timothy Wessel, a cardiologist at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville. It's always welcome news when studies like these back up common sense; the more you move (in moderation), the healthier you are.
