Obesity: The Largest Risk Factor!

Obesity is the biggest health threat we face as human beings… it increases the risk factors for the majority of cancers from head to toe (there are well over 100 different types of cancer) and it’s a bigger risk factor than smoking cigarettes; even being slightly overweight carries tremendous health risks. Maintaining a healthy body composition for our age group is the best way to avoid the risk factors associated with this condition. 

ACSM Recommended Body Composition (body fat %) for Men and Women:

Men 10%-18%

Women 18%-25%

Follow The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) link below for more detailed body composition and health guidelines:
