Top Of Mind With Julie Rose

If you stood a thin person next to someone who is, well, not so thin, and were asked to pick who you thought was healthier, you’re more than likely going to choose the skinny person, right? We’ve been programmed to think that body weight is the best indicator of a person’s health and fitness. But this mindset isn’t always true. The disconnect between body weight and health is more common than you think, and we may be making ourselves more unhealthy by not believing it.
