## Summary

About one-fifth of the American people are burdened with overweight. This is a tragedy, for excessive weight is an impediment to an active, vigorous, and normal life. It is not only a threat to health, but it also decreases the chance for longevity. While this portion of the book is prepared for those who are overweight and wish to reduce, it must be said that prevention of overweight is much better than a cure. Young adults who recognize the first warning of overweight should at once revise their manner of living as regards diet and exercise, so as to keep the body within normal limits.
