“Take a step toward better health,” says Dr. Bouda

Omaha, NE –– Your Weight Loss for Life will host the first of Omaha’s “JustWalk™” Walk With a Doc walking program on Saturday, March 14th at 8:00am. Walkers will enjoy a refreshing and rejuvenating walk with Dr. David Bouda and other healthcare professionals, who will provide support to the walkers and answer questions during the walk.

Walk With a Doc is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to encourage healthy physical activity in people of all ages, and reverse the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle in order to improve the health and well-being of the country. “This program has had tremendous participation and tremendous success in many other cities around the country,” said Dr. Bouda. “I’m very pleased to be a part of this exciting and simple program that shows such improved health results for so many people.”

“Walk with a Doc is honored to team up with Your Weight Loss for Life. By incorporating Walk with a Doc, Your Weight Loss for Life is demonstrating an exceptional level of caring and commitment to their community”, said Dr. David Sabgir, founder of Walk with a  Doc.

Date: March 14, 2015

Time: 8:00am

Location: Your Weight Loss for Life in Rockbrook Village Shopping Center.

Why walk? “There’s no question that increasing exercise, even moderately, reduces the risks or many diseases, including coronary heart disease, breast and colon cancer and Type 2 diabetes,” said Dr. David

Bouda. “Research has even shown that you could gain two hours of life for each hour that you exercise regularly.”

According to the American Heart Association, walking as little as 30 minutes a day can provide these health benefits, as well as:

·       Improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels

·       Help maintain a healthy body weight and lower the risk of obesity

·       Enhance mental well-being

·       Reduce the risk of osteoporosis

Omaha joins a growing list of communities nationwide that have created local Walk With a Doc (WWAD) programs. WWAD was created by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist who practices at Mount Carmel Health Systems in Columbus, OH and he has been walking every weekend since 2005. The expansion and support of the program is thanks to Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield.

WALKING

WALKING BEGINS MARCH 14 AT ROCKBROOK 0800 WITH DR BOUDA

Walking has the lowest drop out rate of any physical activity and it is protective of knees and ankles. We want everyone to walk 9,000 steps every day. Walking is safe for people of all ages and weight. You can gain 2 hours of life for every hour you walk. Walking 5 minutes of every hour at work equals 40 minutes per day and is 2-3 miles. Your belly fat and hips will improve dramatically and you can get an energy boost for 12 hours after.  A mile is approximately 2000 steps. Walk with a Doc is our commitment to a healthy life. We meet twice a month and walk around Rockbrook Village. Besides meeting new friends to walk with you will have one hour of time with Dr. Bouda to walk with him and ask questions. These steps will help you achieve a healthier life style and also provide time for medical questions to be answered by a local doctor. Call for an appointment to walk at 402-812-8400 and check our website www.yourwieghtlossforlife.com and when there check out our Blog.

Sugar, that little white powder

Sugar that little white powder!!!!

Sugar was found in New Guinea 10,000 BC

1700 we ate about 4 pounds of sugar per year each
1870 we ate about 47 pounds of sugar per year each
1920 we ate about 100 pounds of sugar per year each
2012 we ate about 150 pounds of sugar per year each
This is 30 5 pound bags of sugar each per year

This happened over 300 years and this is faster than  our genetics can keep up

This sugar is not only in packets, it is in ALL processed foods to make them appealing to us.
Remember there are glucose, fructose, sugars, complex carbohydrates, fiber and all = SUGAR

8 ounces of low fat yogurt has 6.2 tsps of sugar
12 ounce can of coke has 10 tsps (packets) of sugar for 42 grams of sugar. ( 1 tsp = 4.2 grams)

Sugar which is two saccharides linked glucose+fructose
     Glucose good
     Fructose bad

Fructose phosphorylated in liver and directed to fatty acid deposits
73% sweeter than glucose
Promotes overeating
Increases browning of foods

Cost of Eating out

Eating out is certainly a mixed bag of statistics. Let us try and make some sense of this. I recently ate at Village Inn with my wife for lunch and my salad and her sandwich plus tea cost us $23.00. ($11.50 each) before tip. Just lunch out Monday to Friday with the $11.50 would be $230.00 per month without groceries yet. I purchased a Starbuck Latte, Venti, and it cost me $4.89 and if I were to do that once a day, Monday to Friday it would cost me $87.80 per month again with no groceries. These numbers do not count extra coffees, bottles of water, candy bars, snacks that are all calorie dense, quick trips to fast food restaurants and elegant nights out that run $50.00 per person minimum. Labor Statistics and Gallup Poll statistics indicate people eat out 10% of the time in a month. ( I think this is grossly underestimated)  If they do only lunch out 10% that would be $33.00 and if dinner only it would be $60.00 for three meals out. Count your meals out and use $11 for lunch with tip and $20 for dinner with tip and see what you reach. Then you have to add in weekly groceries and these are essentials with no chips, snacks and desserts.

Department of Labor states:

Thrifty diet is $177 per month for males and $157 for females and this is used for food stamp calculations

Low cost diet is $228 per month for males and $198 for females and this is used by bankruptcy courts

Average diet is $284 per month for males and $242 per month for females

Liberal diet is $348 per month for males and $312 per month for females and is used to calculate Armed Services subsistence $ rate

Gallup Poll states the average in middle class male is $157 per month and female is $146 and varies little with age brackets and economic variation.

Soooo, how frugal are you and how honest in your calculations as to what you spend on one person per month for groceries as above and for eating out. Use $8 for breakfast with tip, $11 for lunch with tip and $20 for dinner with tip. How much????

Remember the tendency is if you eat out a lot you will use fast food outlets and buffets and restaurants with high carbohydrate meals to reduce cost and seek fullness.

No wonder we are gaining weight
