Exercise boosts health of obese women even without dieting: NewsTarget.com

Women who take part in exercise regimens but who don't alter their nutritional habits can find significant improvements in health and mental well-being, according to a new study.

In this study, obese women were taught about good eating habits and how to cook for a healthy diet while receiving social support. After one year, the women had only lost a little weight -- but were significantly fitter and happier with themselves. The overall conclusion is that a healthy lifestyle could improve health risks regardless of weight.

The 62 women in the study were aged 24 to 55 years, and all that took part in the study had a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30. All the women were required to do four hours a week of exercise, consisting of activities like tai chi, aqua aerobics and circuit classes.
