Weight and Food 
January 2014 



Happy New Year's!!!  January is a typical month to start new diets and so, we figured you probably have enough information about gluten, butter, and whatever we are supposed to be eating now! 

So, we focused on other weight management and food related issues like sleep, senior fitness, and ways to prevent Diabetes.  Download our exclusive weight management guide for seniors as well! 

Hoping you have a wonderful and healthy 2014!

Diabetes
 
Diabetes is a growing problem. Since 1980, it has tripled! One reason cited is that we have an aging population and diabetes is more common in older people. Almost half of the people with diabetes are over the age of 65. Another trend is that more Americans are overweight, with about one third of us considered "obese."

Many of us think that there is no use in beginning an exercise program after a "certain age" - whatever that may be for each of us! But, the reality is, no matter when you start a fitness program, it can and will have results for our health, appearance, and weight - no matter how old we are. Remember that all fitness programs should be started with an "okay" from your doctor!
