Seven Answers For Questions About Providing Obesity Help For Seniors by George A. Irvin
Q. So George, it says here that you are a Retired USAF Pilot with the rank of Colonel. Why should we give any credibility to your writings about obesity particularly as it relates to help for seniors?
A. That's a very good question. I became driven by a passionate interest in the causes and cures of obesity a couple of years ago when my son-in-law was diagnosed with gout, high blood pressure, low energy and began bordering on Type 2 diabetes. He was 100 # overweight and faced critical decisions about where to turn for help with his obesity problem even before entering the ranks of seniors.
Q. What did it feel like for him to be that much overweight?
A. He shared - first and foremost - his concern for the drastic health consequences now contributed to obesity in this country,3352 Ugg Bailey Button Mini Black Boots. He also noted his complete lack of self esteem and being taunted by his peers.
Q. What did your months of intensive research reveal?
A. That most weight loss programs are doomed to failure. Primarily because they don't address the problem of maintaining the targeted weight for an extended period of time.
Q,Involved in too much fighting. What has caused you to turn your focus on weight loss for Seniors?
A. Basically,two back, because I'm a Senior,because on an individual basis. I was alarmed to find out that over 25 percent of Americans over 50 are now considered obese (look out for the growing Baby Boomer population entering this group). They need help with obesity especially before becoming seniors.
Q. Do any weight loss problems intensify as folks grow older?
A. Absolutely! As persons age, calorie needs decline. Also, Metabolism rate can decrease by 30 percent over the course of a lifetime. A decrease in calories consumed or an increase in activity (or both) is needed to counteract this decline.
Unfortunately, most seniors don't - or can't - do this.
Q. What's the problem with getting enough exercise?
A. It's an established fact that as we age our metabolic rate decreases. In other words, if you and your granddaughter get out there and walk a mile, she will burn significantly more calories than you will even though you expend the same amount of energy. A solution I've found provides an especially designed weighted shoe that nearly doubles the rate of calorie burn.
Q. What if the older person is impaired in some way that makes walking difficult?
A. I've found a balanced approach to weight loss that includes a "BURN" component that helps burns away that fat and those calories for you regardless of your ability to exercise. Something that is from natural sources and assists in appetite control as well.
Q. It sounds like you're really on to something. What is it called and how can I get my hands on the details of the program.
A. That answer is for another time. Suffice it to say that it was put together by a thirty-five year old organization which can prove that it's the only total wellness company in the world .
