Can weight loss be always the answer to obesity? While it's well-known that gaining weight increases the risk of heart disease and death, scientists have now found that losing a significant amount of weight can also carry its own set of dangers.
In a recent study, researchers from the Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in the U.K. found that for individuals with obesity, "maintaining a stable weight, even within the obese range," can help reduce the risk of death, particularly for those with heart disease risk factors.
