There are articles and studies ‘proving’ health benefits of homosex and doing drugs.
‘Healthy fat’ is part of this narrative.
There was the whole lot of stupid things like that in human history, all backed by some kind of scientific researches.
Of course being fat is not by itself fatal, and being thin isn’t excluding possibility to develop serious medical conditions but it doesn’t make any tendencies.
I guess this means I can cut back on the brain exercising games, huh?
I’ll be okay then.
Next thing you know, doctors will say maintaining a moderate habit of smoking menthol cigarettes has been proven to reverse brain damage due to Alzheimer’s. The protective benefits of tobacco on brain cells are magnified if you use a gold plated cigarette holder of three inches in length.(Satire).
Define "thin". I'm lean but have enough muscle mass to not be deemed "thin" I wonder how at risk my poor mind is.
That said, there's always a trade-off, but despite federal "guidelines", it's probably healthier to have a few extra pounds than to be extremely skinny. Dementia is an ugly deal and painful for family members who love the one suffering the malady - they suffer even more.
