Being a little overweight is healthier for you?

I know this is from May but I still found it interesting.

Basically, being 5-10 pounds overweight will actually let you live longer than if you are the 'perfect' weight or underweight. Obviously, obesity is still a killer....but not as big a one as they originally thought.

So ladies don't worry about those last 'vanity' pounds. Just laugh and know you'll live longer cuz they are there.
Inside each person lives two wolves. One is loyal, kind, respectful, humble and open to the mystery of life. The other is greedy, jealous, hateful, afraid and blind to the wonders of life. They are in battle for your spirit. The one who wins is the one you feed.
