"The father of medicine, Hippocrates (460–377 BC) , recognized the relationship between body composition, exercise, and health, understanding that too much fat wasn’t healthy for us. “If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health,” he’s quoted in medical research. His research and physician experience taught him that obesity was something to avoid: “Repletion, carried to extremes, is perilous,” and “Corpulence is not only a disease in itself, but the harbinger of others,” he was known to declare. Nearly 2,500 years ago,&nbsp;Hippocrates noted that life expectancy was far shorter in the obese compared to lean individuals. So why do so many of us still not understand it?"
