Fantastic You Tube video for Benefits of Exercise explained

I stole this from my FB feed (I am not a registered nurse....Shirley is) This picture helps to visualise what the problem is, and the video shows what you can do to help....It really isn't as much as you think you need to do

As a registered nurse, I'd often see in my patients (and in myself!) the complications caused by being overweight and obese, but I have to say when I saw this I was amazed at the visual reminder.

This image shows a 250 lb woman on the left and a 120 lb woman on the right. We can see weight gain from the outside, but we usually can't see what it's doing on the inside. Look at the fat surrounding the organs in the woman on the left. Do you also see the fat around her heart and around her brain? A little scary, isn't it? Look at the compression around the stomach and internal organs. Do you think that would have any impact on GERD and indigestion? Look at the compressed knee joints. Do you think those joints ache a little more than they should?

I know it can be hard to get healthy because I was there for 30 years. Fortunately, I found a health coach to walk with me on the journey, with a program that's incredibly effective, and far easier than I'd expected it would be. I'm not perfect but I'm working on being healthy every day! Now I have the honor of helping others get healthy and working with our wonderful team of coaches as they help others and change lives. Come join us! I believe in you and know that -- as we work together -- you can get healthier too!
