We all know that obesity is bad for your health, now it turns out that it can shorten your life as well.

Obesity can trim 10 years off life – USATODAY.com reports:

“Those who are extremely obese, about 100 or more pounds over a healthy weight, could be shortening their lives by as many as 10 years, the study found. Being extremely obese is similar to the effect of lifelong smoking, says Richard Peto, one of the lead researchers and a professor of medical statistics at Oxford University in England.”

Can’t diet? Try intermittent fasting.
