A healthy weight improves your general health

The Scotsman report today that maintaining a healthy weight will reduce the risk of breast cancer.

"Researchers have recently estimated that around 40% of all breast cancer cases could be prevented if women maintained a healthy weight, limited their alcohol intake and increased their level of physical activity."

Over the last 20 years or so, we have started to use food as fun. Something to do when we are with our friends. So we have a girls' night in, and we bring along the marshmallows, cakes and chocolate. The total calorie value of these fun foods has added the equivalent of "an extra meal" to our daily food intake.

What else could we do for fun, that doesn't involve eating this "extra meal"? Giving up this fun food is much easier than trying to limit what you eat at each formal meal.
