Obesity. What are you doing about it?
Did you know about 95% of us have failed on dieting attempts? In fact many times we don’t just gain the weight back, we gain more. Engaging in unhealthy or fad diets can have unfavorable effects on your health and well being. Healthy weight loss should encompass multiple facets including diet, exercise, stress management, hormone balancing, and metabolic management.
What is obesity?
Simply stated obesity is defined as excess body weight resulting from eating too much and exercising too little. Unfortunately obesity is easier to define than prevent. There are other factors that weigh in on obesity. Some include: genetic, metabolic, hormonal, stress, and behavior. Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death placing only second to smoking. It has been linked to heart disease, stoke, high blood pressure, liver disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. It is estimated that 1/3 of adults are obese.
