But recent research shows that overweight and even moderately obese people with certain chronic diseases-from heart disease to cancer- often live longer and fare better than normal weight individuals with the same ailments. The science behind this obesity paradox, and how to achieve maximum health rather than minimum weight. Extra body fat provides additional fuel to help fight illness.
