If you needed another reason to establish a consistent pattern of clean eating and exercise, the June issue of Consumer Reports on Health states that being overweight qualifies you as pre-obese, which carries whole hosts of medical issues with it. The concern is that many adults, who are overweight, continue to gain weight. Being overweight increases your risk of high cholesterol, hypertension and type 2 Diabetes. Prevent additional weight gain by using the recommended table of servings (the daily diet recommendations that replaced the former food pyramid), and keep your vegetable intake to ½ of your total plate. Healthy lean protein and whole grain complex carbohydrates equally fill the remaining side.
Do 30-60minutes of weight training/cardio 3-4 days per week a t a minimum.
Don’t be a negative statistic! Make positive changes and improve your health.
