First Line Therapy

According to recent statistics, 97 million Americans are overweight and these numbers are increasing every year.  Being overweight is the most common type of altered body composition.  This altered body composition is directly associated with Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and dyslipidemia.  (An abnormal amount of lipids in the blood)  This is usually caused by diet and lifestyle.

Body Composition is related to health and aging.  Lifestyle changes can help to reduce your risk of common chronic diseases while you age by changing your body composition.  What does this mean?  Body fat is easy to understand.  It’s fat.  Lean body mass includes everything in your body except fat.  While a certain amount of fat is necessary for normal functioning, excess fat in relation to lean body mass can greatly enhance your health risks. 

Some risk factors of an unhealthy lifestyle include, Sarcopenia (muscle loss), insulin resistance, abnormal cholesterol metabolism, increased body fat, (especially Visceral or belly fat) type 2 diabetes. 

A therapeutic lifestyle and following a lifestyle medicine program is based on the premise that many of the diseases of aging are not inevitable outcomes of the aging process.   Lifestyle and nutrition choices directly affect diseases such as:   Heart Disease,  Stroke,  Diabetes,  Cancer,  Arthritis,  Osteoporisis, and  Alzheimers.

Lifestyle and nutrition choices also are key to many symptoms that are not classified as disease:  Fatigue, Stress-related symptoms, Hormone imbalance, and many others.   You can be in control of how you age.
