Is it the hardening of vessels becase of cholesterol deposits and so this can unfortunately cause heart attacks, strokes, alongside other serious conditions
Answer:
I don't think it is possible.
Explanation:
You can loose weight by not consuming anything (not receiving proper nutrition) and it can be damaging to the body. Also without the proper nutrients is would be hard to maintain fitness because you would lack energy and could get more cramps.
Starving (another way not to get nutrition) to lose weight makes your body more likely, in the long run, to replenish fat. It uses the new basal metabolic rate from starvation mode. Lean individuals were more likely to gain more fat after starvation
This varies from person to person. There is a point in time at which hormones in a persons body begin to loose their effective functions, a period I have heard reffered to as adult puberty. In women this is marked by menopause. While you can still theoretically maintain a healthy body at this time, it becomes increasingly difficult. Maintaining a healthy diet and constant exercise are essential to achieving this. A doctor won't tell you much more than this.
