The Answer: Healthy Eating and Physical Fitness
By Chad Tackett, president of GHF
But there is hope. Moderate weight loss--of fat, not muscle--and
a healthy and active lifestyle--not dieting--have been found to lower
health risks and medical problems in 90 percent of overweight patients,
improving their heart function, blood pressure, glucose tolerance, sleep
disorders, and cholesterol levels, as well as lowering their requirements
for medication, lowering the incidence and duration of hospitalization,
and reducing post-operative complications eight times less likely to
die from cancer than the unfit, and 53 percent less likely to die from
other diseases. Fit people are also eight times less likely to die from
heart disease.
So, are you willing to be patient and make gradual changes
in your life that will lead to a healthier, happier you? Once you have
made the decision to go forward and accept change, the hard part is
over. Sure, there is plenty of work to be done, but it really doesn't
matter how long this new process takes. If you allow changes to take
place over several years, your body will adjust comfortably, and you
will be more likely to maintain the healthy lifestyle permanently.
When you begin achieving improvements in energy and
physical and psychological performance, the fun and excitement you experience
will make the change well worth the effort. Action creates motivation!
Good luck: I hope you enjoy all the wonderful benefits of a safe and
effective weight management program.
