SMALL INCREASE IN WEIGHT RAISES HEART FAILURE RISK

A recent research has shown that even a little bit of extra weight can raise the risk of heart failure. According to a study that calculated the heart hazards of being pudgy but not obese. Experts who tracked the health of 21,094 US males for 20 years found that even those who were modestly overweight had a higher risk, and it grew with every extra flab. In men who are 5 feet 10 inches tall, for every 3.2 kg of excess body weight, their risk of heart failure rose by 11% over the next 20 years.

So, be smart in getting help at the earliest from Nutrition consultants or hit the gym, Its the best way.
