INCREASE IN OBESITY = INCREASE IN DISEASE = INCREASE IN…

PHARMACEUTICALS… and so the vicious cycle go!

In May 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that overweight and obese individuals are at an increased risk for many diseases and health conditions, some include:

  • Hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Osteoarthritis (a degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint)
  • Dyslipidemia (examples: high total cholesterol or high levels of triglycerides)
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Coronary heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Gall bladder disease
  • Sleep apnea and respiratory problems
  • Some cancers (endometrial, breast and colon)

A colored pill can kill! Our food can be our pHarmacy and an ongoing source to weight loss and vibrant health. Saying farewell to fast, processed fake foods and hello to real food and balanced meals is a start! Don’t allow the vicious cycle of obesity, disease, and pharmaceuticals to literally stop you dead in your tracks. Obesity as we know, has not yet been labeled a disease, but IT CAN and WILL lead to at least one of many.
