How
much do you weigh?
If the number on your
scale is higher than you'd
like, you may be suffering
from something you never
even considered an illness.
According to the American
Obesity Association,
obesity is a chronic
disease with a strong
familial component.
It causes at least 300,000
excess deaths each year
and pushes healthcare
costs to stratospheric
levels.
Besides its effects on
your appearance
and feeling of well-being,
obesity also increases
your chance of developing
other serious health conditions.
Consider:
- 80% of Type II (sometimes
called adult-onset
diabetes) is due to
obesity..
- 70% of diagnosed
instances of cardiovascular
disease are related
to obesity
- 42% of diagnosed
instances of breast
and colon cancer are
related to obesity.
