What Every Senior in Vancouver, BC, Needs to Know About Obesity Risk Factors and Prevention Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n

Obesity in Seniors<\/strong> | Statistics for more than a decade show the United States as one of the world\u2019s most obese countries. You may have seen frequent news coverage of this \u201cnational epidemic.\u201d Even with numerous well-planned strategies to educate the public about proper nutrition and promote more exercise, the obesity issue remains and has continued to increase.<\/p>\n

Sadly, about one-third of our U.S. adults are now categorized as obese. Perhaps the \u201cepidemic\u201d is slightly exaggerated, but the obesity issue warrants our concern.<\/p>\n

Understanding Obesity in Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n

BMI or Body Mass Index is a system of measuring body fat based on weight and height. The desired BMI would be in the range of 19 \u2013 25. A number in that range would indicate a normal or healthy weight, but those who score 30 BMI or above are generally considered overweight or obese.<\/p>\n

An increased BMI level heightens the risk of developing certain chronic diseases. Hypertension, cardiac disease, and stroke correlate with inclined results. Increased body weight impacts knee and joint stress, creating mobility problems and declining physical ability. Research has shown a possible correlation between obesity and early cognitive impairment or mental decline, too.<\/p>\n

Three Tips To Prevent Senior Obesity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since older adults are inherently already at risk for the diseases or conditions mentioned above, it\u2019s good to know that lifestyle changes can successfully decrease excess weight and prevent obesity. Please consult your doctor or healthcare professional before starting any weight loss program.<\/p>\n

Tip #1. Eat Healthy Foods:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Controlling food portions at mealtimes and monitoring caloric intake are important. It is essential to provide the proper type of nourishment to the body. It\u2019s important to skip the salty and sugary snacks or eat them occasionally. Switch them out for naturally delicious whole fruits and vegetables instead.<\/p>\n

Tip #2. Exercise:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

High-intensity exercise isn\u2019t necessary for older adults to gain health benefits. Having an elevated heart rate for the right amount of time from low-impact activities (e.g. walking and swimming) is perfect and can help to burn more calories. A good exercise regimen includes half hour daily.<\/p>\n

Tip #3. Strength Training:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Muscle tissues burn calories more efficiently than fat tissue, so prioritize increased muscular strength and endurance by using free weights or practicing other weight-bearing exercises for 20 minutes, 2-3 times per week. If you feel underconfident about starting alone, sign up for a personal trainer or a class at your local gym or YMCA.<\/p>\n

Senior Health and Well-being<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Making the health and well-being of your older loved ones a priority can be a challenge. Offer plenty of encouragement for them to follow the above tips, reduce excess weight, and prevent obesity. Keep them looking forward to a healthier future ahead.<\/p>\n
