Studies show that up to 70 percent of the U.S. population is overweight or obese; and as you probably know all about how being overweight or obese has been linked and targeted to the following health conditions:
- Cancer
- Gout
- Heart disease and stroke
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Gallbladder disease and gallstones
- Osteoarthritis
- Breathing problems
But do you know how much America’s weight problem is costing us financially? A recent study tallies the bill as high as $150 billion annually, and the toll doesn’t end there: from research showing that obese workers earn $4.41 less per hour due to higher travel costs for heavier passengers on the roads and in the air. So in essence – a heavier body with higher body fat leads to a lighter wallet.
So if, as research proves, losing just 7 to 12 percent of total body fat can lower blood pressure, cholesterol, taking medications and more – just think what it can do for your checking account.
In light of this research study, the Duke Diet and Fitness team is offering a free evaluation to everybody who is willing to get on the right track for health and fitness.

That’s scary about our health costs, especially for people who are on the hefty side like myself. I will try this evaluation out!
