Heart-Disease: Why You Should Burn Body Fat.

Are you overweight? Then you probably want to lose some weight. It
is obvious that youll burn body fat by increasing your metabolism.
But be sure that what you burn is fat, not muscles.

Some statistics

After age 25, the average person in America gains one pound or more
a year, which means at the age of 50 an average person is 25 pounds
or more heavier than he or she was 25 years ago.

As you age your metabolism is slowing down, causing your body to
burn less fat.

Without exercising regularly, the average American loses a pound of
muscle each year.

A minority of Americans exercise in a significant way, which means
less than 50 minutes of exercise per week. Two out of five Americans
do not exercise at all.
