The usual answer to this question is “feeling good.”
To most people, as long as we do not have symptoms, we perceive ourselves as being
healthy.

About 65 million American adults now have high blood pressure, 30 % more than the 50 million who did in the previous decade”, according to a report published in “Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association”.
Osteoporosis
The condition is serious enough that the U.S. Surgeon General’s office issued a major report on osteoporosis on Oct. 14, 2004, noting that many people are unaware that their bone health is in jeopardy.*

When you eat carbohydrates (sugar) your body produces insulin.
High blood sugar → High Insulin
Moderate blood sugar → Moderate insulin
Weight Loss & Insulin – The Connection
Difficult to lose weight with high insulin levels.
Only way to regulate insulin levels effectively is through the foods you eat.
Must have a healthy liver in order to lose weight.

BMI is one of the primary risk factors for disease and death. As a person's BMI increases the risk for many diseases increases1.
Conferees advocate use of Body Mass Index (BMI) as the best determinant for overweight/obesity in the clinical setting2.

The Three Leading Causes of DeathThe Three Leading Causes of Death
By Dr. Tim Byers and Colleen Doyle, MS, RD, American Cancer Society
Diet and exercise are among the most important factors in a person’s risk for developing cancer.
One third of all cancer deaths are related to diet and activity factors1.
Why is diet such a big factor?
Diet and CancerDiet and Cancer
• Too many calories
• Malnutrition
• Toxins in our foods and in the environment
Although people with diabetes can prevent or delay complications by keeping blood glucose levels close to normal, preventing or delaying the development of type 2 diabetes in the first place is even better. The results of a major federally funded study, the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), show how to do so.
This study of 3,234 people at high risk for diabetes showed that moderate diet and exercise resulting in a 5- to 7-percent weight loss can delay and possibly prevent type 2 diabetes.
The results showed that people in the lifestyle modification group reduced their risk of getting type 2 diabetes by 58 percent. Average weight loss in the first year of the study was 15 pounds. Lifestyle modification was even more effective in those 60 and older. They reduced their risk by 71 percent.

Heart disease kills more Americans each year than any other disease or illness. It is important to understand what makes heart disease so common and how one can reduce the chances of having heart disease. Heart disease can be silent (no symptoms) in some persons. You may not be aware of heart disease until you have a heart attack (also known as a myocardial infarction). More than 2600 Americans die every day from cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease. The August 20,2003,issue of JAMA includes several articles about risk factors for heart disease. A risk factor is something that makes you more likely to have a disease, illness or medical problem. Some risk factors are modifiable (can be made better). Other risk factors, such as age and genetics (family history), cannot be changed.

Modifiable Risk Factors for Heart DiseaseModifiable Risk Factors for Heart Disease
Lifestyle Modifications
•Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, low in saturated fats, and low in total fat content can help to lower cholesterol to healthful levels.
•Engaging in regular exercise for at least 30 minutes each day lowers cholesterol levels and prevents type 2 diabetes, lowers risk of heart disease, and reduces or maintains weight. Regular physical activity (such as walking) is a cornerstone of treatment for high cholesterol and related health problems.
•Losing excess body weight can lower cholesterol levels. Controlling weight by reducing caloric intake and introducing daily exercise has many beneficial effects, including reducing risk for diabetes, heart attack and some cancers.
•Stopping smoking is important because tobacco products damage blood vessels, making it easier for cholesterol to form plaques.
Controlling weight by reducing caloric intake and introducing daily exercise has many beneficial effects, including reducing risk for diabetes, heart attack and some cancers.

Being Overweight + Toxicity = Serious Consequences
•BMI is a marker for chronic disease, disability, and symptoms of disease
•BMI predicts a future that includes:
– Physical distress
– Altered lifestyle
– Need for caregiver support
For a healthier future: Focus today on reducing the weight and eliminating the toxins!
