CHILDHOOD OBESITY

  • The number of cases is rising worldwide and we don’t know what the next 20-30 years will hold
  • We are now seeing Type 2 Diabetes in young teens
  • We need to start changing the norm and replacing it with healthy eating
  • Sugar is used to pacify, amuse, reward and fundraise in schools

WHAT WORKS

  • Diets with fresh fruits and vegetables and  meals that involve cooking
  • Schools need to stop serving foods like chocolate milk
  • Chocolate milk is full of sugar and is like a liquid candy bar

HOW DO YOU FIND WHAT WORKS FOR YOU

  • Approach life from looking at your own health, weight and  medical needs
  • There is no one magical answer
  • No matter how you look at it…sugar is bad
  • Cheat days can translate into binges

HOSPITAL FOOD

  • It is terrifying that hospitals are giving fruits, juices and sugary desserts to Diabetics
  • These are just not healing foods
  • Part of these choices are based on fiscal situation

  • They had no inflammation at all

  • His findings support no need for sugar or grains for fuel
  • Intermittent power athletes who are fat adapted show positive results

WHY SUGARY SPORTS DRINKS STILL PROMOTED AS FUEL

  • Lots of businesses do not want this information out there

  • Already is being seen in the ultra-running community

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

GO WILD

  • We need exercise/movement for our brains
  • Our brains evolved so we could be better movers and increase our language, social bonding and intellectual capacity
  • A moving brain is a thinking brain
  • When you are moving, you are using more brain cells than when you are doing any other human activity

GRAINS AND SUGARS IN OUR DIET

  • As we became fat-phobic in the 50’s and 60’s and replaced good fat with carbs, mostly in the form of grains and sugars, we saw the beginning of the obesity crisis
  • With this unhealthy diet and lack of movement, living in a sedentary world, we saw an increase of illness such as diabetes

GET OUTSIDE ON A TRAIL AND RUN

  • We have lost touch with nature
  • We need to go outside a lot more
  • Running on a trail is much more beneficial than running on a tread mill
  • We are more mindful outside

FUEL FOR OUR BODIES

  • Humans are hunter/gatherers and meat eaters
  • It is not just about meat and fat…meat used to be full of nutrients
  • Today we are not getting all those nutrients
  • That it why it is important to have a lot of variety in the foods we chose
