The World Health Organization's recent report is a stark reminder of the magnitude of overweight and obesity today. Every pound counts - literally!

• With each extra pound of fat a person carries, an approximate additional mile of blood vessels comes with it! Your heart wasn't meant to have to pump extra blood through those extra miles of blood vessels. Unfortunately, these added pounds can lead to serious health issues like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
• Additionally, your stomach, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder haven't been designed to digest excess food, so digestive dysfunction occurs when the wrong types of foods or overconsumption cause undigested food to sit around in the gut to putrify and rot, resulting in autointoxication, leaky gut, and small intestinal bacterial or fungal overgrowths, which can result in autoimmune disease, and even cancer.
• Each extra pound carries with it not only dangerous health risks, but the joints feel four pounds of pressure for every pound, leading to the deterioration of the joints and compression of the spine, resulting in physical pain caused by these imbalances within your body mechanics. Skeletal misalignments are permanent over time.

What you choose to do now will determine how healthy your body is in later years; be mindful about taking care of yourself so that those golden years remain as vibrant and alive as they should be!

This is a powerful motivation for us all – stay healthy now while you still have time!
