Losing Just 10% of Bodyweight Cuts Health Risks

Statistics show that obesity-related deaths are on the rise. The prevalence of morbid obesity - medically defined as 100 or more pounds overweight - is increasing rapidly. According to the U.S. Surgeon General's office, obesity will soon become the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., overtaking cigarette smoking.

Statistics put out by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that overweight people are more likely to suffer from diabetes and heart disease, and overweight women have a 50% greater risk for certain types of cancers.

There is good news, though. Recent studies indicate that a little weight loss can go a long way in reducing health risks. One study conducted by Dr. Steven Narod of the University of Toronto in Canada suggests that by losing just 10 pounds can reduce the cancer risk for women by up to 65%.

And according to information from the American Obesity Association, losing as little as 5 to 10% of your body weight, and keeping it off, can significantly decrease insulin levels and high blood pressure, thereby decreasing your risk for diabetes, stroke and heart attack.

The message is clear: When it comes to your health, every pounds makes a difference.

What's Your BMI?

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.

Calculating BMI

Calculate BMI by multiplying your weight in pounds (lbs) by 703 and then dividing by height in inches (in) twice.

Formula: weight (lb) x 703 ÷ height (in) ÷ height (in) = BMI

Example: Weight = 180 lbs, Height = 5'5" (65 in)

Calculation:
    180 x 703 = 126,540
    126,540 ÷ 65 = 1946.76
    1946.76 ÷ 65 = 29.95

BMI Categories:
    Underweight = <18.5
    Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
    Overweight = 25-29.9
    Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

What It Means to Your Health

Dropping a single BMI category can significantly reduce many health risks. And, believe it or not, it's not as difficult as you might think, if you have the right tools. For example, in one study on the Sensa Weight-Loss System, more than 1,400 participants dropped an entire BMI category, on average.
 
What it is:
Sensa is a patent-pending technology that works with the human sense of smell to help users eat less and take in fewer calories without the need for restrictive dieting, calorie counting, or pills.

How it works: Users sprinkle Sensa on their food. Then, as they eat, Sensa acts imperceptibly to speed up the natural satiety process, which prevents overeating.

What makes it unique: Sensa contains no drugs. Instead, it works solely with the sense of smell to trigger the body's natural appetite control mechanisms. As a result, users can eat what they normally eat, with no need to cut out certain foods.

Stretching Your Fitness Level
Stretching can be a
powerful part of any
exercise program. It
increases flexibility,
improves joint
health and
circulation, and
helps relieve stress. Here's
how to include stretching in your
fitness routine:

    • Always warm up. Start with
    a few minutes of jogging in
    place or on a treadmill.

    • Ease into a stretch. Use
    slow, controlled
    movements, and
    never bounce or push
    your body into position.

    • Hold each stretch for 30 seconds. It takes
    time to safely lengthen muscle tissue.

    • Remember to breathe! Concentrate on
    feeding oxygen to your muscles.

    •Don't overdo it. You should feel tension
    while you're stretching, but not pain.

Please consult your physician before starting any diet or exercise program.
