Being super fit and cut all the time sounds nice, and looks great, but it does not seem to fit what our body wants. FOr example I am doing P90X right now. In order to do that I need to eat about 2,500 calories a day. Minimum. That is 500 over the normal amount. Most days I am at 2,800. This is also to lose wieght due the extreme amount of work I do. Keep in mind now that I am forcing my body to not only use everything I eat, but to burn up fat reserves as well. So if I were to get sick, my body would try to eat itself to survive. I think there is a happy medium wher you have a fat layer, but are not "fat" if you get my meaning where your body is in balance. Ok, we have enough for an emergency and enough of the good stuff is comming in. Get my drift? Having a littel wieght on you seems to make sense to me.

Being at a healthy weight and being active is the best way to avoid falling into that category in the first place. :-) Well, they’re not saying that it’s healthier, overall; just that it’s healthier if you end up having heart disease.
