Health benefits of water...

Water is your body's principal chemical component, making up, on average, 60 percent of your body weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired.
 
Remember, fresh is always better.

Below are some ideas of snacks and meals that you can use for jump starting your way to a healthier way of eating.

Studies have shown...

Obesity kills more than 25,000 people a year in the United States. People who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop serious health problems including the following:

  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Coronary heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Sleep apnea and respiratory problems
  • Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)

Obesity is a growing health crisis in the United States that has gotten much worse over the past 20 years. The latest data from the National Center for Health Statistics shows about 66 percent of adults ages 20 and older are either overweight or obese. And the percentage of young people who are overweight has more than tripled since 1980 - about 17 percent of children and teens ages 2-19 are now considered overweight.

In 2007, Colorado was the only state that had obesity rates less than 20 percent. The obesity levels in 30 states were 25 percent or higher - three of these states (Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee) were at 30 percent or more.

For U.S. Adults, if your BMI (Body Mass Index) is greater than 30%, you are considered to be in the "obese" category.
