Our country, and really the industrialized world at large, needs a desperate wake-up call.\u00a0 According to The World Health Organization (WHO), in 2008, over one-third of adults were overweight, with the prevalence of obesity almost doubling from 1980 to 2008. (1) The frequency of overweight and obesity varies by region, with the U.S. being a \u201ctop\u201d performer \u2013 almost two-thirds of the population is overweight and a quarter obese. (1).\u00a0 What\u2019s more, this trend has not restricted itself to adults, but is now running rampant through our children, as well.<\/p>\n

Now, we know there is a bit of a push and movement to support loving your body, no matter what your size. \u00a0We at CoreLfe believe you should love yourself, despite your size, job, relationship status, etc., but as health professionals, we can\u2019t get behind this attitude of \u201cweight doesn\u2019t matter\u201d, \u201clove your curves and bulges\u201d, etc. Why? Because the health risks associated with overweight and obesity are just too great.\u00a0 And quite honestly, if you think you are doing yourself a favor by \u201cloving\u201d your body despite its size, we’re\u00a0here to say you\u2019re not really loving yourself much at all.<\/p>\n

This body, it is the only one you get. It\u2019s the one that has to drag you through your whole life. If you respect and love your body for doing its job, then you should be caring for it in a way that exemplifies that. Imagine if you bought a house, a beautiful, pristine, lovely house. Then, you didn\u2019t do any maintenance on the house. You never mowed the grass. You never dusted or swept. When you noticed a crack around a window, you just let it go. When the roof started to sag and leak you simply ignored it. \u00a0Food you didn\u2019t eat was just left to rot \u2013 you get the picture. This once beautiful house would start to crumble. It would have mold and insects. It would become overrun with weeds and animals. The smell would build up. And before too long, it would become inhospitable.<\/p>\n

Your body is the house for your mind, your spirit, your soul \u2013 whatever it is that you believe makes you, ‘you’; \u00a0your body is the house that shelters it.\u00a0 Just like the house you may buy to live in, this body requires maintenance and care.\u00a0 If ignored, if unattended to, it will become dilapidated and inhospitable. One of the ways we care for our body, for our \u201chouse\u201d, is by keeping it healthy. Excess weight is not only a burden on your body frame, but on your internal organs, your hormonal pathways, your metabolism \u2013 every facet of your life.\u00a0 Overweight and obesity are not merely physical appearance \u201cproblems\u201d.\u00a0 This is not simply a question of whether one looks good in yoga pants or a tight top. Being overweight or obese reduces your ability to perform everyday physical tasks. It causes joint and back pain from the excess load your body is straining to carry. Your risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, liver and kidney disease, as well as pregnancy complications like gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, all increase significantly (2). And, if those health complications weren\u2019t enough, obesity reduces your life expectancy by up to 10 years or more. (2)\u00a0 So, not only will the life you\u2019re living be less enjoyable as you suffer from diseases and ill-health, but that life will be shortened, as well.\u00a0 Additionally, because so much of my interest lies in fertility and pregnancy nutrition, for those trying or hoping to conceive, overweight and obesity have been found to increase infertility, both in males and females.

At CoreLife, we aim to help people find a way to bring balance and wellness back into their lives. As the CoreLife dietitian, I’m\u00a0not seeking to eradicate all culinary pleasures from you life. My goal as a nutritionist is to help clients find a way to care for their body while absolutely still enjoying and loving their life. We want to empower you with the skills and knowledge to lead a healthy lifestyle, full of energy and enjoyment, and devoid of disease and ill-health. \u00a0If you would like to learn more or are ready to make changes in your life, come on in for an appointment and take the first step toward a healthier you.<\/span><\/p>\n
