Q: Dear Dr. R, How can a chiropractic doctor help with
| weight loss? |
| A: By now you've heard the statistics: More than half of American adults are overweight, with an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke, and more diseases which are responsible for approximately 300,000 deaths a year. That's over 5769 people every week - and the most unfortunate part? These deaths can be prevented. For most people, weight loss is highly personal and difficult to face, especially when one has a considerable amount to lose. And with the dreary facts surrounding weight loss, suggesting that most people who do lose weight just gain it right back, many people doubt they can shed pounds permanently. A recent article on weight-loss strategies suggests that the most effective weight-loss programs include a multifaceted approach including diet, behavioral modifications, with an increase in physical activity. Weight loss candidates are encouraged to think about why they eat, what they eat, and engage in regular physical activity. Yet, people who have suffered from lifelong obesity may need additional motivation to get started. This is where your doctor of chiropractic can help. If you need to lose weight but aren't sure where to begin, your chiropractor can help you develop a nutrition and exercise plan suitable to your needs, as well as offer support and encouragement during the weight-loss process. And remember, routine chiropractic treatments not only help maintain the body's structural alignment, they help relieve stress, promote emotional clarity and positively affect your overall body function making it easier to lose weight too.
