We get asked all the time if the Wiley Portocol bioidentical homrones will add weight to those who use it. T.S. Wiley notes the average weight gain is about 4-5 lbs. for women on The Wiley Protocol bioidentical hormones, but then adds ... so what? Would you rather feel great again and have a little bit of extra weight - or be skinny and feel terrible?

It has been researched and determined that underweight people the extremely obese die earlier than people of normal weight. Well, here is some proof that it might be better for your health all around to keep a few extra pounds.

It may be that a few extra pounds actually protect older people as their health declines, but that doesn't mean that people in the normal weight range should try to put on a few pounds," said Mark Kaplan, DrPH, coauthor and Professor of Community Health at Portland State University.

This study looked at the relationship between body mass index and death among 11,326 adults in Canada over a 12-year period, and researchers found those people who were underweight people had the highest risk of dying. The same goes for extremely obese poeple, who had the second highest risk. But here's the surprise - overweight people had a lower risk of dying than poeple who were a normal weight. Therefore the conslusion is that people who are overweight may actually live longer. And that's not all - the same results were reported from an earlier study that was conducted in the U.S. and published in 2005 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

For this study, researchers used data from the National Population Health Survey conducted by Statistics Canada every two years. During the study period, from 1994/1995 through 2006/2007, underweight people were 70 percent more likely than people of normal weight to die, and extremely obese people were 36 percent more likely to die. But overweight individuals were 17 percent less likely to die. The relative risk for obese people was nearly the same as for people of normal weight. The authors controlled for factors such as age, sex, physical activity, and smoking.

The study was funded by grants from the National Institute on Aging, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and the Canadian Embassy in Washington D.C.
