WORLD OBESITY DAY

​Since today is World Obesity Day, I would like to share my thoughts on this very serious health crisis currently threatening the health and well-being of people of all ages, ethnic groups, and socioeconomic statuses worldwide. Make no mistake, it is within our power to avoid conditions such as obesity which often lead to diseases which could be prevented or at the very least mitigated. 

The solution lies in stacking the odds in our favor by embracing and implementing that which is backed by long-established EMPIRICAL evidence and by disregarding so-called evidence dispensed by modern-day snake oil salespeople both with and without credentials. These individuals include those who have vested interests which often do not coincide with scientific facts. Images viewed on American television and print ads featuring obese Type II diabetics and others engaging in prolonged static stretching do little, if anything, to combat obesity as well as other conditions and diseases. These images serve only to confuse and mislead the public.

After consulting with an ethical board-certified physician who has your best interests in mind, learn from a credentialed and ethical personal trainer and nutritionist how to:

1) CLIMB on your own two feet effectively and safely.

2) LIFT challenging yet safe external loads progressively.

3) EAT WELL by consuming healthy whole foods in the correct macro-nutrient proportions. This means incorporating healthy proteins, healthy carbohydrates and healthy fats into your daily food intake.

We can indeed prevent obesity by respecting and implementing science based only on empirical evidence.

As always,

"CLIMB, LIFT & EAT WELL..." ®
