Shaklee Distributor in Dallas, Dallas Health Helpers, talks about restrictions of being overweight.

Being overweight or obese has many consequences. We know there are physical health problems that are brought about by too much weight.  But there are also emotional problems and difficulties in daily living activities.

Last week I was on a commuter flight from Houston to Dallas.  I noticed a gentleman get on the plane and put his bag down.  He then made his way to the back of the plane to talk to the flight attendant.  He walked back to his seat in a very humiliated manner.  He was carrying an extension for his seat belt.  He was obviously too big for the normal seat belt to fit around him.

I felt badly for him.  I would have felt even more badly if it had been someone I know and love.  That is why I find it important to help anyone I know who is overweight.

But that airplane episode is only one incident in what must be many scenarios that people who need to lose weight must endure on a daily basis.  Think about needing a bigger chair than what is available.  Think about bending to tie your shoe.  How would you feel if you were overweight and shopping for clothes?

Think of someone you know and love that needs to lose weight.  Do what you can to help them and support them to loose weight.  There are many plans out there and my favorite is the Cinch Inch Loss Plan.

Produced by the Shaklee Corporation, the Cinch Inch Loss Plan is based on 50 years of science and research.  Try it here.

Shaklee Distributor in Dallas, Dallas Health Helpers, talks about joint pain relief.

Shaklee Distributor in Dallas, Dallas Health Helpers, talks about joint pain relief.

Many people experience joint pain.  This pain may come from arthritis, a simple structural abnormality, over use or repetitive use.  There are many reasons for joint pain. One source that is prevalent is being over weight or obese.

Obviously, the first step is to get to a recommended body weight.  That will take much pressure off the hip, knee and ankle joints. Take advantage of this pain-reliever that will offer many other benefits.

With joint pain, it is also important to keep moving.  Often, those with joint pain will tend to remain as immobile as possible to avoid aggravating their condition or for fear of causing more pain.  In general, keeping a joint functioning will help to keep it mobility and range of motion.  The old adage that if you don’t move it you lose it has some merit.

Find an exercise that you like and can easily do regularly.  With joint pain, one should avoid high impact activities.  Generally, easy movements done regularly will help to get good circulation to the tissue surrounding the joints, bringing nutrition and oxygen to them and helping to remove toxins and metabolic waste products.

One with joint pain should also avoid inflammatory foods.  Things such as desserts, red meats and processed foods can add to inflammation, causing more pain.

Avoiding stress can also help to lower inflammation.

Many people have begun to use joint pain preparations that include glucosamine and chondroitin.  However, recent studies have proved that chondroitin is actually counterproductive to building health of the joint.  It actually inhibits the absorption of glucosamine.  When looking for a joint product, make certain is does not contain chondroitin.

Shaklee Corporation produces a product called Advanced Joint Health Complex.  This product works in a matter of days and it works to heal the tissues around the joint, not just alleviate pain.  They also offer a money back guarantee.  Try it here.
