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 LEAD TO ONE of many.

with their teeth and it’s not entirely their fault!

A study in the New England Journal of Medicine has found obese children to be twice as likely to die from disease before the age of 55. The study was done on 5,000 American Indian children. It shows a correlation between childhood obesity and early death. The color of skin shouldn’t matter. Obesity is obesity is OBESITY! It is not healthy for anyone at any age.

Parents must take control of their child’s demanding taste buds. It is easier than you think. I’ve been there and done it. Children love structure – they will begin to crave what nature intended. It is easier to look into your child’s eyes now and say no to junk food, than to look into to their eyes in the hospital or on their death bed.

Making meals from scratch will insure it is organic, not processed, loaded with nutrients, and lots of love.

CHEERS and the best of health to you and your family!
