Weight Loss – The Key to Long Life


Antoaneta Sawyer, PhD

The Key to a long and healthy life is weight loss, no doubt about it. How you eat may influence your health, as well as your figure. No matter how skinny you are if you aren’t healthy, it will not match your longevity criteria.
Obesity is a major public health problem that is becoming more common among adults, increasing rapidly in children and adolescents, and has been linked to a broad range of physical, emotional and socioeconomic problems. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has found that obesity affects close to 100 million American adults- that is one in three and an increase of more than 57 percent since 1991. Being overweight can have a devastating effect on human well-being both physically and emotionally.
An increasing number of Americans are becoming overweight, which can lead to many serious health problems, including premature death. Obesity has been linked to a growing complex of health conditions including type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease (CHD), metabolic syndrome, cancer, osteoporosis, and depression. Fueling the problem is a growing amount of misinformation about obesity itself, as well as serious confusion over the connection and understanding between dietary fat and body fat.
Getting obesity and overweight epidemic under control will involve more than just telling everyone to go on a diet. It is quite obvious that there is no single magic bullet that can overcome obesity as a condition. Fortunately, obesity can be reversed with proper nutrition, dietary and lifestyle changes. Exercise, weight management, and optimum nutritional supplements such as chromium polynicotinate, vitamin C, proline, lysine, and other antioxidants help to normalize sugar and increase insulin sensitivity. Every attempt should be made to reduce total body weight to within 20% of the "ideal" body weight calculated for age and height. If this is done obesity will improve significantly.
Despite that there is no unified treatment or a disease cure, right diet, nutritional and herbal supplementation, aggressive lifestyle changes can help support healthy blood sugar levels and to control obesity and metabolic syndrome. Several vitamins, minerals, herbs and antioxidants have been studied for their efficacy at promoting healthy blood sugar and protecting cells from the damage of elevated oxidation with favorable results. The high cost of managing morbid obesity, together with the recent economical situation have led to a growing interest in potentially gentler modalities and methods presented as a strategy by the alternative medicine.
