Weight loss is good for the heart

No study has yet shown a positive link between weight loss in the obese and a subsequent reduction in the risks of cardiovascular problems. The data recorded by a British team seems to show that this is actually the case.

Observations of overweight subjects revealed that their hearts functioned better after they had lost excessive weight. These results must now be confirmed by taking a larger number of people into account.
