So, what’s the probability that one of the FGFF’s carries a AD36 Virus and heretofore layed that girth to beer, brats and three helpings?
“Human adenovirus 36 (HAdV-36) or AD-36 is one of 51 types of adenoviruses known to infect humans. It was first shown to be associated with obesity in chickens…To date, AD-36 is the only human adenovirus that has been linked with human obesity, present in 30% of obese humans and 11% of nonobese humans…” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AD-36
There is growing research that suggests fat cells actually might be contagious and like a common cold passed from person to person. Some of this is research suggest that fat cells multiply because of a social conformity mindset…not just that you eat as much as your group but that your body chemically changes to conform…your metabolism is altered and if you possess the AD36 Virus, this is compounded. So, if you have spent and inordinate amount of time at the fly tying station, eating snacks, cooking those special weekend dishes then you are carrying that extra weight, aren’t you?
Aside from the novelty and intrigue of contagious fat, or social conformity fat or a cold virus that you can have that causes fat…for some of us, we have been house bound/work bound and may be for another month or so. I noted sub zero temps again in Mont. and N.D. this morning. So, my brief stint out to the river yesterday, reinforced what I had noted this past several weeks at the gym, I am out of shape. I have also noticed the obvious that I choose to ignore…each year, I am slightly and progressively in less shape than the year before. This is aggravated by Winter time diet, total veg time, too much blog time, or if you are unfortunate a virus and the ignored factor…age. So, right now embark upon some form of exercise program and if you are on the far side of 55, then don’t lift and run like you are 35 nor like you felt in August. Start slow and get the legs, butt and shoulders back into shape.
