Focus on Mind and Body Fitness

Most people know that the mind and body affect each other. When your body is physically ill, your mind reacts by shifting your mood. You may feel depressed or irritable because you don't physically feel well. In the same way, if your mind is "ill" or you're in a bad mood or depressed, your body may react by giving you physical problems—a headache or backache perhaps. This often happens to alert you that something is wrong and to help you get your mind and body back in a healthy balance. Your weight loss doctor can provide you with insight about beneficial ways to lose weight as you focus on mind and body wellness.

Make Healthy Eating a Family Affair

With the growing concerns regarding an increase in the number of overweight children and adolescents, and related health issues, establishing healthy eating habits early in life is important for life-long health and disease prevention.
