TALES FROM THE TOP

A new Japanese study reveals men who are a little overweight at age 40 live six to seven years longer when compared to skinny men.

And skinny men’s life expectancy is even 5 years shorter than obese men.

This should give us all reason to eat to our heart’s content — moderately.

Shinichi Kuriyama from Tokyo’s Tohoku University says heightened vulnerability to diseases and the fragility of their blood vessels are the  reasons why skinny men have shorter lifespans.
