Pudgy but not obese? You might still have some heart problems. A new study in the journal Circulation finds even a little bit of extra weight can raise the risk of heart failure.

Yikes, time for me to return to Jenny Craig!
My father’s sisters are all obese and I’m scared for them. And for myself, too, since it seems to be in our genes. I guess I need to exert more at effort at keeping the weight off.
Maudrey – It’s tough when your genes are working against you. I have the same issue with heart disease. But fortunately, we can control some thiings to help us be healthy even though we can’t do anything about our genes.
