Hey! Weight Matters!

I know; I know! It's the same old thing..."you have to lose weight!" So what happens? We go on a diet, work out at the gym, lose some weight; and PRESTO...just like that, it comes right back! "It's the yo-yo effect", says my doctor. THE METABOLISM FACTOR: When we were young (those were the days, right?), our fast food binging and lack of exercise never seemed to matter. But now...those very same habits are not so forgiving especially around the waist-line! We at Home Care Together, a supplier of home health care products including diabetic products, Therapeutic Shoes for the diabetic, as well as catheters and ostomy products truly wish we did not have such diseases as diabetes or heart disease; but we do and that is what it is imperative that each of us considers our weight. IT BEGINS WITH WHAT GOES PAST THE LIPS: Keep an eye on your mouth and what you allow to go through those beautiful lips of yours! "Weight management is a balance of how you consume versus how much you burn," says Carolyn Harrington, registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. "If your activity changes, you should also change your food intake accordingly." To that we say "Amen"! This approach will allow you metabolism to change and catch up with your desire to lose weight and keep it off. Make up your mind; get some help; readjust your attitude toward food; turn off the TV and exercise. Under professional care you CAN lose weight...I did. Together... we can make it happen!
