Getting Well Naturally B

eing overweight or obese puts you at risk for a number of diseases, including heart dis-
According to the National Institute of Health, 60% of Ameri- can adults are overweight and 25% are obese; about 25% of American children are overweight or obese. And the numbers are rising. It is extremely important for us to watch what we eat, reduce our caloric intake, get plenty of exercise, drink lots of clean, filtered water, and supplement our diet with high-quality vitamins & minerals. Obesity is usually determined by
body mass index, or BMI. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight and over 30 is considered obese. A high waist-to-hip ratio (indicating that fat is centered around the waist) increases the risk for developing serious, even life-threatening conditions associated with obesity. Generally, for men a ratio of .90 or less is considered safe. For women, .80 or less is considered safe. A number of factors contribute to obesity: (1) eating high-fat, high- calorie foods; (2) lack of exercise (3) genetics; (4) age; (5) psychological issues; (6) medical problems, such as Cushing Syndrome or hypothyroidism. There are a number of products on the market that can help with your weight loss program. Here are a few that we have found to be effective:
