We are at war against the most formidable opponent. Who is it? "obesity." Obesity is killing more people a month than our two other more high-profile combatants terror and drugs. Smoking once the top killer is no longer top dog but the new enemy is now Obesity. But don't give up hope there are people fighting on our side to win this war, but if we don't change our ways the long term damage to our kids and country will just continue to reek havoc on our nation.

At the American Heart Association's conference last week, two studies, done independently in different countries, showed that obese children had a "vascular age about 30 years older than their actual age." This, of course, greatly increases their chances for heart disease. So much so, in fact, that the American Academy for Pediatrics is now recommending cholesterol-lowering drugs for some children. "As the old saying goes, you're as old as your arteries are," said Dr. Geetha Raghuveer of Children's Hospital in Kansas City, to the Associated Press.

Is this want we want for our children? Kids having to take cholesterol medication. When I went to my doctor just one year ago I was 25lbs over weight. I was starting to get high blood pressure and acid reflux (Also known as Gird) not once did my doctor say" Hay Paul you should try loosing some weight!" He just put me on Lipitor and a double dose of Nexium. I thought to myself this is crazy. Not that I am against medication because I'm not, but to jump so fast to taking a pill as the solution really bothered me. This was when I found the answer that worked for me. I got connected up with Team Beach Body. I got on a great fitness program called P90X and in 90 days time I lost over 25 lbs. My body fat had dropped from 29% to 16% and I felt great. I was back to one Nexium a day and no longer needed Lipitor at all. My doctor was shocked the next time he saw me. I did not say anything to him, but in my mind I was thinking ,"What a shame we don't teach our doctors about fitness and nutrition." So If you need to loose weight and get back to a healthy life style please go sign up at www.gowowy.com and become a Team Beachbody member.
