Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. In a population-based sample of 5- to 17-year-olds, 70% of obese
youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

The past surgeon general has estimated that close to 85% of our most dreaded diseases could be prevented with appropriate lifestyle changes, including a good diet and regular exercise. Healthy lifestyles behaviors and sensible exercise would not only prevent disease and untimely death but would improve the quality of one’s life! No one wants to just survive; everyone wants to live fully. Regular exercise will foster that goal!

Coronary Heart Disease

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control, nearly 950,000 Americans die from heart disease and stroke every year — that’s one every 33 seconds. The enormity of this catastrophic total can perhaps be better understood when compared to the fact that since Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was first diagnosed, the cumulative number of reported deaths due to AIDS is slightly more 450,000.

Nutrition Tip of the Week!

Eliminate junk food!!! Most fast food, along with most pastries and processed foods, contain high amounts of fat, sodium and sugar (usually simple sugars). None of these qualities is beneficial to any athlete. Consuming these foods does little for your energy, except promote a rise and then subsequent drop in your blood sugar levels.
