FIT to FAT!
The transition from fit to fat as seen within western society is no longer a theory but supported by science. Dr. Eenfeldt, a physician from Sweden, spoke last year at a paleo conference regarding the alarming trends that are present within western society. The combination of a diet of caloric rich foods based on processed carbohydrates, increased sedentary lifestyles and the reliance on pharmacopia is at the root of the problem. Aren't we glad that we found CrossFit! Unfortunately, we are surrounded by people everyday, family, friends and co-workers who have no self awareness that there is a problem. Their sickness will not only affect their lives but will impact every aspect of society from healthcare, the economy, and government regulation. This population represents over 70% of Americans with metabolic syndrome and over 78 million baby boomers.
In my clinical practice today, a large percentage of my patients are type 2 diabetics and over 70% of my patient population have elevated BMI or metabolic syndrome, the pre-cursor to diabetes. So how does this affect us? We can be a great source of accurate information and a walking testimony as to the value of a clean diet and exercise! We don't have to convince others that they need a lifestyle change, their perceived susceptibility will do that for us. Our job should be to bring them into our community and share what we have found with them. What a better gift than to give someone else improved quality of life! When you have an hour to kill, watch this video to gain a deeper understanding into the epidemic that we are facing.

has that as a PR. I know it isn't but I must have posted it another way. Still, not bad for me.
