America’s Obesity Epidemic Hits New High
https://youtu.be/zAq4gUBUj54
Ok, enough with the accusations of personal vanity. It is becoming increasingly clear that deemphasizing the regularity of “party-mouth” (insisting that every meal produces an oral hyper-euphoric episode), losing excess fat & participating in regular exercise is no longer a simple matter of improving one’s attractiveness… it is a matter of survival!
The CDC (Center for Disease Control) says 40% of U.S. women are now obese. I didn’t say 20… and I didn’t say overweight… that’s the big four-0 percent, a figure that is closing in on HALF of us being obese!
America’s Obesity Epidemic Hit a New High
Then I read this:
Women who are overweight or obese have a higher risk of breast cancer. But accumulating evidence suggests that becoming fitter and losing some pounds after a diagnosis could cut the chances of a recurrence and even lower the risk of death.
A number of small studies looking at the benefits of exercise and weight loss on cancer by researchers at Yale University in the US are being presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting (ASCO) in Chicago.
Prof Melinda Irwin, associate director at Yale Cancer Center and professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health, said: “We found a strong connection between exercise after diagnosis and mortality afterwards.”
“Most interestingly, it showed the impact on changes in activity on mortality – even if you’ve never been active before taking regular exercise seemed to show a great impact.”
[…]
Among these small studies is one involving 144 women with ovarian cancer who did 150 minutes of aerobic exercise each week for six months. Early results show they had a drop in the levels of certain hormones linked with the growth of tumours, compared with women who did not exercise.
Another study of 221 women with breast cancer found those who lost weight on a diet had a drop in the levels of a protein that fuels tumour growth.
[…]
“We have known for many years that women who are overweight or obese and diagnosed with breast cancer have a higher risk of their cancer recurring and ultimately dying from breast cancer as compared to leaner women with similarly sized tumours at a similar stage with similar treatment,” said Dr Jennifer Ligibel, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston,who is leading the breast cancer (study).
“We don’t really know why that is the case but it’s been seen over and over now in more than a hundred studies.
[…]
“… try to get them more up to 220 to 250 minutes (of weekly exercise) if we can because that’s really the level that’s been shown to help keep weight off after you’ve lost it,” she said.
They can choose any activity they like and she expects walking to be popular. “It’s a very accessible form of exercise. It doesn’t cost anything. You just need a pair of shoes. My patients always ask me what’s the best form of physical activity and honestly the answer is the one that you’ll do,” she said.
Prevent/Reverse Diabetes
Here is an excerpt from Dr. Michael Greger’s 2015 presentation “FOOD AS MEDICINE” discussing prevention & reversal of diabetes. Greger always supports his assertions with published research, but feel free to fact check for yourself. He is a very generous man, making his nutritional analysis available free of charge to the public.
Grocery Store Encounter
Yesterday I crossed paths with a woman who was struggling in the grocery store about what to buy to feed her diabetic sister. We got to talking and I offered some ideas. I told her (of course) to listen to her sister’s doctor, but I invited her to look at my
She expressed her gratitude as she typed my web address into her phone. She announced to me that she was immediately returning these items to the grocery shelf:
and
and replacing them with:
and some salt-free:
I just cannot express to you how incredibly fulfilling it is to empower people with information that can change their lives, and the lives of people they love. I just want to learn more and more and more… and share it as often as I can!
Thank You Dr. Oz!
So today I was actually interested in watching a Dr. Oz segment advertised as “banish your batwings”!
Over the past year I’ve had a degree of modest success with my own “lunch sister” weight lifting workout, deep tissue self-massage, regular cardio exercise and a clean eating regimen to eliminate this batwing syndrome, but the good doctor claimed his method required no exercise. Well here’s what I got from Dr. Oz:
* don’t bother with the home remedy of wrapping your biceps in seaweed… it doesn’t work!
* try upper arm compression wear, a girdle for your flabby arms!
* or try multiple visits to the spa for sucker machine therapy. At $300. per session my term “sucker” seems quite appropriate 
Total failure of information. I am glad I saw it b/c it helps me understand that exercise + clean eating is the only holistic solution. I’m so happy I invested in my health this past year… it’s really beginning to pay-off!
