Document Summary

Any extra energy ingested but not used is converted to fat. Research has shown physically active individuals have an easier time keeping excess weight off. He should consider this lifestyle because his job is sedimentary and regular exercising like walking, jogging or using the stairs instead of elevator can help reduce his risk of cardiovascular disease and obesity. He should continue to avoid tobacco because it increases an individual"s metabolic rate by forcing the heart to beat faster. This causes extra stress on the heart and plays a role in heart disease. Going for a walk, meeting a friend or listening to music can help alleviate excess stress: curtis should try to limit bad fats such as the bacon he eats every morning. He should consider using olive oil and should choose healthier lipids such as unsaturated fats, which are found in plant and fish oils.
