Description:
Being overweight is no better than being underweight, and both conditions often indicate poor nutrition. I wanted to form a group to share best practices for gaining or sustaining weight.

    Obesity and Smoking May Increase Risk for Blood Clots in Veins. According to the journal Circulation, a recent study of VTE ( or venous thromboembolism) suggested that obese people and heavy smokers have higher risk of developing VTE, a blood clot in a deep vein or a pulmonary embolism. Obese people are 65 percent more likely to develop VTE while people who smoke 25 cigarettes or more a day have 52 percent greater risk. It pays to quit smoking.
