Obesity has plagued our health for many years and continues to be a major risk factor. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that from 1985 -2008, there has been an increase in obesity nationwide from 20-30%.  The 3 most common diseases associated with unhealthy weights; diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart attacks and strokes may be controlled or averted through proper weight management.
Although most of us know the solutions to maintaining a healthy weight, we are not properly equipped and educated to do so. We often follow diets that cause us to lose and gain weight repeatedly and thus causes havoc on our metabolism.   According to Rose Deats, a certified health coach, the Glycemic Index lifestyle system provides the best solution to maintaining a healthy weight which will in turn positively affect your overall health while reducing the incidence of obesity related diseases.  The Glycemic Index lifestyle system was first used by the Diabetic community and has since been implemented within successful diets and lifestyle plans. It has been shown to increase metabolism while sustaining weight loss naturally. Sign up for your free 30 minutes Health Assessment at www.thehealthbuzz.org
