Lose Weight and Experience Health!

Start with small changes and watch them develop into a healthier you!

Are you finding it hard to stick to a healthy diet? Lack of a healthy diet can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

There are often side effects to weight gain and over time, it may be damaging to your body, including your spine and nervous system. Let’s take a closer look at what too much weight can do and what you can do to live a healthier life.

What Happens to Your Body As You Gain Weight?

How weight gain affects your life may depend on your activity level, gender, age and where you carry your weight. But, if you gain too much weight, it may take a toll on your body physically.

• Some risks associated to too much weight gain are type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, breathing problems and sleep apnea.
• Weight gain may cause a strain on your spine and nervous system. Over time, misalignments or nerve interferences may occur causing back pain and interference to the nervous system.

When there is interference to the nervous system, the body has a hard time receiving the information it needs from the brain to enjoy optimal health.

The Emotional Side of Weight Gain

Weight gain goes beyond how you look. Let’s take a look at some of the things that often go on emotionally when you’re overweight:

• You can lose the self-confidence you once had.
• Depression or anxiety may develop and begin to affect your daily life.
• You may find yourself with less energy and joy.

Losing weight is easier said than done, but through small and simple changes each day, you can begin your journey to greater health.

A Few Simple Changes

You may ask, “How do I start?” Begin with these easy steps:

• Park further away from the supermarket so you get more exercise on your way in and out.
• Take the stairs whenever possible.
• Take a walk daily.
• Hydrate by drinking enough water throughout your day.
