Fitness and Health, Diet and Weight Loss Stats

The mountains, the fresh air, the outdoors; bike riding, skiing, climbing, hiking, white-water rafting, and more. These are some of the many qualities of a state that makes the top of the list of healthiest in the nation, Colorado. And even though obesity in Colorado is lowest among all states, there is still an increase in the percentage of the population who are obese. What does that mean? It means that no matter how healthy one are of the country may be, the number of people who are overweight is still climbing. Interesting how sales of soft drinks and fast food continues to climb at the same pace.....hmmm.

At what point does obesity need to reach before we make some hard decisions or have to resort to strict laws that govern what can and can't be offered to eat or drink? Are we at a point of no return where we're all just going to be overweight some day and continue to deal with the rising costs of health care? It won't happen. We'll be bankrupt before we get there. We will get to a point where we're either all taking care of each other, or we're all just struggling to survive another day.

Life comes down to a few simple choices, one of which is to either live to survive or live to create a life. Creating a life involves making choices that support a healthy mind, body, and spirit; making choices that allow for the creative mind to grow, develop, and build something that you can be proud of and is fulfilling in every way. By choosing health, you can choose life, and you can do more than just exist... you put yourself in a position to do something meaningful to you.

We at The Health & Wellness Institute, PC would like to think that we can make a difference and reverse the current trend of higher obesity rates, yet the task is daunting. We need to create a groundswell of people believing in and applying the habits that will create a healthy, happy, and productive lifestyle. Don't wait until it's too late. Decide now and take the road to better health... permanently.

Spammers go on a "Diet"

With so many thousands of weight loss products out there and the ever-hated spammers taking advantage of the latest and greatest, it's hard to get messages of motivation, education, and inspiration out that are useful and important to "dieters."  Well a step in the right direction has been taken by a judge who has ordered a firm to "stop spamming" (story here).  While we are all for free enterprise and an open marketplace where companies can compete, grow, and market their products, spam just doesn't do any good... except for those who sell the service.

We're all tired of it and the filters are getting better and more sophisticated, but always have to be updated as spammers decipher the programming.

Rest assured that if you have signed up for emails on this site or at www.JuliaHavey.com , you will not be sent spam - although some people believe any email that isn't worth reading is spam.  We try to make every effort to offer words of motivation, inspiration, education, and yes, sometimes special offers to start on the Vice Busting Diet program or others.  We hold ourselves accountable for claims made about our products and programs as do you, whereas spammers only job is getting messages in front of eyes and creating sales... no matter how extreme the claims may be. 

This is a problem with marketing. Without companies holding themselves up to a level that is ethical and responsible, then freedoms get taken away. Why? Because enough people complain or some sly attorney sees opportunity to make a name and then a law is created by the beaurocrats.  Even for companies like Coca-Cola have to take a look at the products they make and know that they need to be better, because too many of them are addictive, unhealthy, and provide no benefit, only harm, to the consumer.

Don't keep looking for a quick fix.  Look within and start making healthy choices. That will support those of us who do keep our standards high and eventually will eliminate those who do not.

Estrogen's Role in Obesity

What has long been suspected or believed by many is showing more evidence of being true: menopause can contribute to the cause of obesity. According to this report, "In a series of animal experiments described at the 234th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, researchers showed how estrogen receptors located in the hypothalamus serve as a master switch to control food intake, energy expenditure and body fat distribution. When these receptors are destroyed, the animals immediately begin to eat more food, burn less energy and pack on pounds."

Just like males who experience a decline in testosterone which can contribute to a lack of energy and gaining pounds, so too can women face a similar dilemma with diminished estrogen levels and an increase in weight. Many factors contribute to the reason for weight gain in women, but especially as we age and hormone levels decrease, do we face an uphill battle when it comes to staying fit. The metabolism slows down, our lives may become more sedentary, and with lower estrogen levels, we may think that we're set up for failure.

Well if you are going through or have gone through menopause, not all hope is lost. Consider the effects that exercise has on the body - stimulating muscle tone, improving the metabolism, providing more energy and fitness, and even helping stimulate the production of hormones. This is one action that may be the fountain of youth. With daily exercise, especially muscle strengthening ones, you can ward off the effects that aging has on the body. Just look at or ask anyone over the age of 50 who exercises on a daily basis. It will make you feel great!

More Obesity Research, Same Conclusion

As if we need more research to tell us about the adverse effects obesity has on the human body, a new study shows that obesity will raise the risk of infertility (story here). The report goes on to say, "Consuming a diet high in fat causes damage to eggs stored in female ovaries. As a result, when fertilised these eggs are not able to undergo normal, healthy development into embryos."

Recently, I spoke with a competitive bodybuilder who competes in Women's Fitness. She had the opposite problem of too little fat, and when she found out she was pregnant had to quit training for her competition because her body fat was too low. The demands placed on the body to compete with such a low body fat percentage is not healthy for any woman during pregnancy, but certainly this doesn't give license to consume too much of the wrong foods when pregnant.

As Julia knows, many women consume too much food when pregnant figuring, "I'm eating for two so why not?". Julia went on to gain too much weight during her pregnancy and even more afterwards. Don't let the same thing happen to you if you're pregnant. And if you're trying to conceive, be sure to follow a healthy diet!

The one action that this plan starts with is one that will actually create the greatest amount of physical and physiological benefit to those who follow it. What is it? It's water. Most people do not drink enough water each day, and that is evidenced by the fact that soft drinks are the #1 consumed beverage in the world. Just look at the stock price of Coca-Cola and you'll understand why. Coca-Cola is not only a high-caloried filled beverage, and loaded with unhealthy calories, but it is also very addictive.  Ask anyone who "loves" to consume it and whether or not they would like to give it up. The answer is usually 'no'.

But with the right approach to losing weight, you can build a healthy lifestyle that will put you on track to a healthy weight for good. You see, weight loss should not be the focus of  your efforts. Living healthy should. Weight loss will be the by-product of those actions, the same way that earning an income is the by-product of what you do at your job or for your career.  A surgeon doesn't (or at least, shouldn't) look at a heart surgery as a $15,000 payday. The doctor should look at it as a procedure that could save or prolong the life of the patient, and provide a better quality of life. He should be focused on the task at hand and exactly how he is going to approach and perform the procedure.  Your focus should be the same toward getting healthy(er). In other words, "what actions am I going to do today"?

If you approach losing weight this way - in a manner that is focused on building more healthy habits into your daily life, then the weight will come off, no doubt.

So start busting your vices and getting healthy the right way!  Way to go Amie!

A diagnosis would be great, but you don't need a doctor to tell you your child's blood pressure is high if he is 75 pounds overweight... assume it is!  This is just a morsel of the bigger problem with children's health today, and most of it stems from the vast array of unhealthy foods and drinks available to them (do we sound like a broken record here?!).  There are more and more health problems seen in younger and younger bodies today.  Arteries clogging, diabetes type II, colon problems, lung issues, and on and on.  Even the esteemed Dr. David Katz says that given the current path our country is on, there is no reason to doubt that we will see heart attacks in teenagers in the coming years. That's not good!

You have to wonder how far or how bad things have to go or get before we move this ship back in the direction of health.  Or are we going to continue to just listen and accept the opinions of some people who only loudly complain about the lack of health care?  When are we going to band together and demand that changes be made to the quality of foods provided, offered, made, in our schools, cafeterias, and even the hospitals!  (Ironic how a vending machine with candy-bars and chocolate and potato chips with trans-fats are available on the "snack room" of every level of most hospitals!).

If you want to avoid trips the doctor with your child, cut off the soft drinks and fast foods for starters. Next, add more fruits - the easiest health food to eat; then, add more vegetables - try a salad.  Get them involved in some form of exercise or activity that demands some  movement.  Because if you're child is overweight, just assume that they have internal health problems going on - if it's not now, it will be soon!

A Virus that's Responsible for Obesity?

An interesting new development in obesity research suggests that a virus may be partly responsible. As reported on Medical News Today, "researchers used lab experiments to show that infection with a common virus that causes respiratory and eye infections in humans, called human adenovirus-36 (Ad-36) turns adult stem cells retrieved from fat tissue into fat cells. But stem cells that were not exposed to Ad-36 did not turn into fat cells."  One of the researchers goes on, "We're not saying that a virus is the only cause of obesity, but this study provides stronger evidence that some obesity cases may involve viral infections."

There is no doubt about the agreement among scientists and lay people that there seems to be some genetic influences that predisposes some people to being overweight or obese.  But it's a far stretch to think that a virus is going to account for the majority of what's responsible for extra weight.  This is probably the body's way of protecting itself when sickness comes about.  Wouldn't it make sense that the body responds with some sort of defense mechanism that would cause the storage of some fat in the event of certain sicknesses?  It's the body's innate intelligence to do what it needs to in order to survive.

This is just more fog in the cloud of deception when it comes to the cause of being overweight, and holding Americans (or others) responsible for their health and specifically, weight. This report is going to let people "off the hook" for their actions of fast food and soft drink consumption while they chalk up their obesity to a virus. And what will be missed is the part that says that if you're already overweight, getting a treatment that addresses this virus will not help.  That's going to hurt.

Don't despair if you're overweight. The road to health consists of one healthy action at a time, and building healthy habits one at a time over the course of weeks and months. So don't run out to your doctor and ask for an anti-viral medication (if they come available) to lose weight.  You still have to pay attention to the calories put in and the calories expended in order to find a healthy weight.

Red, Blue, Purple Produce Slows Cancer

The compound that gives the color to most red, blue, and purple produce seems to slow the growth of cancer cells, according to a Ohio State University study. They "tested the anti-cancer effects of anthocyanin-rich extracts from a variety of fruits and vegetables including grapes, radishes, purple corn, chokeberries, bilberries, purple carrots and elderberries."

There is one supplement The Health & Wellness Institute recommends to support getting the nutrients from these anthocyanin-rich fruits and vegetables - click on the banner to the right to learn more.  You can add the extracts from the juice of fruits and vegetables to your diet to get these "cancer-slowing" nutrients. Plus, when you can get it in a capsule it makes it that much easier. That's not to say that a capsule will cover all the bases for your health. But a diet that lacks enough fruits and vegetables - most of the time by choice - needs to be supplemented.  And the typical American diet is devoid of the recommended daily intake of fruits and vegetables.  Even another product that contains the extract from 9 different grapes and berries provides added support.

With the rise of disease and conditions like obesity, prevention steps need to be taken.  At least to get on the road to a healthier lifestyle that includes exercise, water, fruits and vegetables.

"We know a lot about how certain dietary things affect the risk of developing colon cancer in the first place, but we didn't know, before this study, how diet affected persons who already have cancer," explained study author Dr. Jeffrey A. Meyerhardt.

Did you know that Colon cancer kills an estimated 600,000 people globally each year. according to the latest statistics. Take a look at this WORLD CLOCK to see how quickly diseases and conditions are adding up in the world each day!

Specifically, a "Western" diet, that consists of fat read meat, processed foods and refined sugars is among (if not) the worst diet you can force upon the body. It continues to be no surprise, then, that cancer rates that loom larger every year are the resultant effect.

Just as we at The Health & Wellness Institute try to help people adjust their diets rather than overhaul them, so too is it important to understand that what we put in our bodies is just as important as what we're NOT putting in.  In other words, you will be improving your health exponentially when you remove the bad in your diet in favor of the good.  Where to start? First, go with water instead of all the other beverages. Do that for a week or two...or even three, before you decide to do anything else.

I promise you'll be amazed at how great you feel.  Then, start busting your diet vices - www.ViceBustingDiet.com !!

Wouldn't you think that a doctor would be very concerned with the weight of their patient? After all the very first thing you do when heading to the exam room is step on the scale!

I do not allow my doctor's office to weigh me if I am there about a sore throat, I tell them if I come in here looking as though I have gained some weight then by all means, weigh me, but I am a size 8 and therefore not obviously in need of weight management.

However, when I was 300+ pounds, my weight was the underlining issue with any problem I was frequently in there with! I was overweight, unhappy and very sickly. Well, no kidding ; my diet was made up of mostly fast food, soft drinks, ice cream and high fat "diet" bran muffins (bran sounds so healthy! I was fooled into thinking they were good for me!)--- little wonder why I was sick all the time. I was Obese but practically malnourished! Yet my doctor took my tonsils out, gave me antibiotics monthly but NEVER told me that the food I ate was keeping me sick and making me fat, he just said "diet and exercise" would help, but I assured him that I was "dieting" most of the time and getting some aerobics in weekly. My diet consisted of eating a bran muffin and diet coke for breakfast, starving all day and then fast food for dinner. I tried but failed.

When I quit "dieting" and starting living a more healthful lifestyle; cooking meals rather than relying on McDonald's horribly fattening foods, started drinking water rather than diet Coke, starting not only going to aerobics but actually pushing myself and doing more while there and going more often (and not rewarding myself for going with a trip to the bakery!)

This new study shows that I am not alone in not getting the help I needed from my doctor.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20264941/

NEW YORK - Few obese adults receive a formal weight-management plan from their doctors, despite the proven health benefits of even modest weight loss, a new study suggests.

The researchers reviewed the medical records of 9827 patients seen at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, between November 2004 and October 2005. A total of 2543 of these patients were obese.

Principal investigator Dr. Warren G. Thompson, and his colleagues, found that only 505, or about one in five obese patients had their condition formally documented. However, patients who did have a formal diagnosis of obesity were 2.5 times more likely to be given a plan of treatment, such as diet changes and exercise goals.

Better management of obesity could have a “huge public health impact,” according to Thompson and his group. Even a modest weight loss, they point out, can help control a range of chronic health problems, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol.

It’s possible, Thompson told Reuters Health, that when doctors think about obesity as a medical problem that can be diagnosed, they are apt to discuss ways to manage the problem.

Not surprisingly, he noted, study patients who were severely obese were more likely to have a diagnosis and a treatment plan — suggesting that doctors need to take a closer look at patients with less severe weight problems.

Thompson also suggests that people who are significantly overweight and have yet to get advice from their doctors should consider broaching the topic themselves.

I think the reason is that doctors are overworked and underpaid and have to see as many patients as quickly as possible. They just don't have time to talk to them about anything other than they are 'seeing' them for on that visit--insurance companies frown on multiple diagnosis/codes in one visit!

Recently a local doctor referred his patient to me. I was surprised but he told her that he was stumped why she couldn't lose weight--test showed she was "normal" so he sent her to me. I had the opportunity to spend an hour talking with her, learn about her habits and her lifestyle. Turns out that she drank diet Dr. Pepper all day, no water at all, didn't eat breakfast and at very little lunch and dinner. She was starving and unhealthy--and 50 pounds overweight.

So, I had her stop drinking soft drinks and switch to 1/2 her body weight in fluid ounces of water (she was drinking that much soda!), eat a breakfast--even a quick protein smoothie is better than NO breakfast (I had her drink Complete protein shake mix--click on the banner to the right w/ the gal sitting/pink background to order Complete--I use Vanilla, but they have chocolate too. Mix it w/ fruit, ice cubes and soy or rice milk--a perfect breakfast!) and I had her get exercising 3 times a week (despite the fact she runs a ranch/farm and walks over 10,000 steps a day, she obviously needed more if she was to lose weight!) and guess what happened? In 2 months she lost 25 pounds!

Not a miracle, just a more healthful lifestyle!

Countries that surpass the U.S. include Japan and most of Europe, as well as Jordan, Guam and the Cayman Islands. “Something’s wrong here when one of the richest countries in the world, the one that spends the most on health care, is not able to keep up with other countries,” said Dr. Christopher Murray, head of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

Many factorsResearchers said several factors have contributed to the United States falling behind other industrialized nations. A major one is that 45 million Americans lack health insurance, while Canada and many European countries have universal health care, they say.
But “it’s not as simple as saying we don’t have national health insurance,” said Sam Harper, an epidemiologist at McGill University in Montreal. “It’s not that easy.”

Among the other factors:
Adults in the United States have one of the highest obesity rates in the world. Nearly a third of U.S. adults 20 years and older are obese, while about two-thirds are overweight, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.

“The U.S. has the resources that allow people to get fat and lazy,” said Paul Terry, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Emory University in Atlanta. “We have the luxury of choosing a bad lifestyle as opposed to having one imposed on us by hard times.------

The problem is huge and the solution is so simple yet we seem to keep our heads buried in the sand. What do I mean? Recently the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation burned through money to do a study on how to make us live longer only to advise us on getting flu shots, taking aspirin daily and checking for chlamydia! While those are certainly valid health tips, I was amazed that their study totally ignored the Obesity Pandemic, the biggest reason that we are the dying sooner than other humans around the world!

The Vice Busting Diet is the only "diet" book with the integrity to tell the truth and tell the reader that if they want to live healthfully and longer--they can't eat McDonald's and drink Coca-Cola and continue to lay on the couch hour upon hour watching TV at the expense of getting some physical activity!

We wonder why we are so fat and lazy? A recent study showed children prefered carrots out of a McDonald's bag rather than a generic carrot despite the fact that both carrots were exactly the same shape, size and taste! They have been brainwashed by this generation's Hilter--Ronald McDonald! Shocking statement? Not if you think about it. I think when it is said and done more lives will have been lost to McDonald's fat genocide than Hilter's murderous regime. I realize this is a stretch, but if we found out that Ronald McDonald hated fat people and was purposefully feeding them poisonous toxic food that would make them morbidly obese, contract illness and disease and die prematurely--we would be outraged.

The only difference is, he doesn't 'hate' them, but make no mistake about it, he is killing millions of human beings one bite at a time.

And you think the execs at Coca-Cola are any better? They come up with every way imaginable to have us suck down their sugar laced Coke or aspartame punch. They make it readily available in soft drink machines everywhere! They know that what they serve is unhealthy, they have the ability to make a great deal of money selling us bottled water yet they continue to push their poison despite the fact people drink enough of it to get big and fat. Do you think they care about your bottom line or theirs?

If we stopped eating fast food; McDonald's, Wendy's, Chick Filet, etc., stopped drinking soft drinks; Coke, diet Coke, Pepsi, Gatorade, Monster, etc and got up off the couch it is guaranteed that we would live longer and healthier lives.

Guaranteed.
Keep eating that crap, keep drinking the crap--keep feeling like crap and die young. Or bust these diet vices out of your life completely and live healthy and free from the burdens of frequent sickness, illness, and obesity.

Partnership for Prevention's new "life saving" study ignores the Obesity Pandemic and those causing it.

A new study from the Partnership for Prevention lists five preventative measures that could save the lives of 100,000 Americans each year.

Funded by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the WellPoint Foundation, the study found that a few measures — such as more adults getting flu shots and being screened for cancer — could save tens of thousands of lives each year in the United States.

Here are the five ways:

— Quit smoking, for good. 42,000 additional lives would be saved each year if 90 percent of the smokers who are advised by a health professional to quit are offered medication or other assistance. Today, only 28 percent of smokers receive such services.

— Take aspirin. 45,000 additional lives would be saved each year if 90 percent of adults took aspirin daily to prevent heart disease. Today, fewer than half of American adults take aspirin preventively.

— Get screened for colorectal cancer. 14,000 additional lives would be saved each year if 90 percent of adults age 50 and older were up to date with any recommended screening for colorectal cancer. Today, fewer than 50 percent of adults are up to date with screening.

— Get a flu shot. 12,000 additional lives would be saved each year if 90 percent of adults age 50 and older were immunized against influenza annually. Today, 37 percent of adults have had an annual flu vaccination.

— Get screened for breast cancer. Nearly 4,000 additional lives would be saved each year if 90 percent of women age 40 and older had been screened for breast cancer in the past two years. Today, 67 percent of women have been screened in the past two years.

— Get screened for Chlamydia. 30,000 cases of pelvic inflammatory disease would be prevented annually if 90 percent of sexually active young women had been screened in the past year for Chlamydial infection. Today, 40 percent of young women are being screened annually.

Sounds good, doesn't it!? Our tax dollars funded a study to find ways to lower death rates of these health risks, but what about eliminating them all together?

However if you move past the wow factor of easy ways to save 100,000 and realize that we can save MILLIONS of lives with a bit more effort, that would be something worth studying a bit further! The Robert Wood Johnson foundations does a lot of talking, a lot of think tank work about what may help the problems that plague society but when it comes to inciting change, they like all of us are falling a bit short.

Rather than offer tools to some who should quit smoking, why not ban smoking or tax it like other countries do to make it unaffordable for most? Why not get a stop on snus (rhymes with goose and it's splitless chewing tabacoo in a pouch!) before it becomes the next poisonous addiction?

And while they are totally right that we should take an asprin (why, I am not sure but my favorite doctor, Mehmet Oz says to do it, so I do!), getting screenings for colorectal and breast cancer is a must, and the flu shot makes sense in getting--they lost me on the Chlamydia--it isn't going to really save lives in such a huge factor to be one of there 5 tops tips for a tax paid life saving study!

After all, less than 20,000 people die from Chlamydia but 300,000 people die each year from Obesity.

I can't help buy wonder why the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the WellPoint Foundation failed to address the biggest threat facing both global economy and health--Obesity!

The way to limit deaths from Obesity is simple. I am going to save millions of dollars in tax payer money so that a new study doesn't need to be conducted, here is what the findings would be and are:

— Get screened for Obesity. 300,000 additional lives would be saved each year if 90 percent of the Obese who are advised by a health professional to lose weight are offered medication or other assistance to help them abstain from Soft Drinks, Fast Food and TV/sedentary lifestyles. Today, only 0 percent of the Obese receive such services.

Don't think it's necessary?
