I don’t have a strong basis. Unfortunately it is all very vague. A lot of it is coming from preconceived notions I have surrounding health. Things I’ve heard throughout my life.
One thing is that I recall reading something about how being heavier speeds up the aging process.
From first principles, fat’s purpose is energy storage but in the modern world we don’t really need energy storage.
I don’t have a good understanding of this, but I feel like when you gain weight, ie you eat enough where your body stores stuff as fat instead of immediately using it for energy, doesn’t that end up doing bad things to your cardiovascular system? Plaque buildup in arteries?
If there are any resources you can point me to that would be awesome.
