Currently, the CDC reports that 76 million people in the United States are obese. That is more than the population of California, Oregon, Washington State, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho and New Mexico combined.Being obese is defined by a BMI greater than 25 and increases the risk of diabetes 20 times and the risk of heart disease by 32%. Furthermore, a review of 15 studies published in the Archives of General Psychiatry found that obese people have a 55% higher risk of developing depression. The list of these statistics can go on, but it is evident that obesity is on the rise in the United States. Furthermore, we know, scientifically, that obesity contributes to specific disease states like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and stroke. We can also see the significant effect that being overweight can have on your mental health. In our professional experience, we can absolutely say, is this is all true.Isn't it time to change?Right now!Today!Get Inspired and Get Started!We know you can do this.
