Healthier Living - Taking the Long Term View

Every year obesity-related illnesses claim over 300,000 lives. Obesity has now surpassed smoking as the largest preventable cause of disease, disability, and early death.

Diseases with a known association with obesity include: type II diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or triglycerides, arthritis in weight bearing joints including the ankles, hips, knees, and back, depression, early heart disease, colon cancer, breast cancer, and many more. Recently, the National Institute of Health published a study documenting that even a moderate amount of weight loss, a reduction of 10% from starting weight, causes a significant reduction in your risk of developing a weight-related illness.
