I am a graduate student in nutrition and food studies, and I am
currently enrolled in a weight management class. We are
questioning the issue of being fit and fat. Is it okay to be fit
and fat? What do you feel are the limits? Is it better to be fit
and fat than unfit and thin? I am interested in your opinion.
Please write back. I love your web site!!
Dear Reader,
It's hard to say if weight or fitness has a greater impact on
overall health, so there's really no clear-cut answer to your
question. However, recent research indicates that we should
reconsider our beliefs about the relationship between weight and
fitness. Weighing a lot or “being fat” is not always a sign
of poor health and weighing a smaller amount or “being thin”
is not always a mark of physical fitness or good health. And no
matter what your size, being physically active on the regular has
its benefits.

■次号予告
Is it better to be fit and fat, or unfit and thin?-2-
Consider the possibilities: In the middle of a pennant race, a
team's star shortstop falls in love with his second baseman.
Which is exactly what happens to Randy Dreyfus, the best-hitting,
best-fielding, best-looking, and most happily married young
shortstop in the major leagues. The Dreyfus Affair combines
romance, comedy, social satire, and some of the finest baseball
writing in years. The result is a rollicking, provocative odyssey
through one unforgettable World Series championship.
(amazon.com)
The main character will be Moana Waialiki, a sea voyaging
enthusiast, and the only daughter of a chief in a long line of
navigators. When her family needs her help, she sets off on an
epic journey. The film will also include demi-gods and spirits
taken from real mythology.
