Being overweight leads to many health issues such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, as well as, a higher risk of cancer, sleep apnea, joint problems, and diabetes.  Pay attention to your waist size as well as your weight.  Women with a waist over 35' and men with a waist over 40' have an increased risk in heart disease, cancer,  diabetes, and respiratory conditions.  This size waist is dangerous because people who carry more fat around their abdomen also have higher amounts of fat surrounding vital organs like kidneys, liver, and pancreas.  This fat is known as visceral fat and it is thought to create chronic inflammation and has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.  Begin to tackle the battle of the bulge, by consuming fewer calories, making mindful healthy food choices, adding exercise to your daily routine, getting adequate sleep, and reducing stress.  Begin by adding 30 minutes of exercise a day without fail, eat small frequent healthy meals, sleep 7 to 8 hours a night, and hydrate your body with at least 50% of your body weight in ounces!  Keep it moving!
