How to avoid risks for obese people

Last day I’ve read an article about a new study of the Emory University (presented in the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions) that shows how some slight diet changes can lead to significant improvements in an obese person’s cardiovascular health and repairing the damages from the past.

The research compared 3 groups on markers of heart disease risk. The groups where:

Follow a Mediterranean style diet [high in fruit and vegetables, bread, wheat and other cereals, olive oil, fish, and red wine]
