WEIGHT LOSS AND IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE

According to the CDC, obesity has been linked to:

• All-causes of death (mortality).
• High blood pressure (hypertension).
• High LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, or high levels of triglycerides (dyslipidemia).
• Type 2 diabetes.
• Coronary heart disease.
• Stroke.
• Gallbladder disease.
• Osteoarthritis (a breakdown of cartilage and bone within a joint).
• Sleep apnea and breathing problems.
• Low quality of life.
• Body pain and difficulty with physical functioning including pelvic health conditions.

We will present to you numerous reasons why losing weight will enhance the quality of your life. Attendees will learn why obesity leads to arthritic changes in weight bearing joints and can cause a host of pelvic health conditions. Pain, limited mobility, decreased strength and muscular endurance can lead to a loss of function of a particular body part. Being able to move and exercise can help to reduce the effects of obesity but ultimately the human body functions more efficiently when an optimal body weight and mass are achieved.
