RESEARCH MATTERS by Dr. David J. Madeira A Hey! Lose Some Weight! On April 19th, Yahoo news reported..."Even though obesity has become a national epidemic, doctors continue to not advise their patients to lose weight. Research showed that in the year 2000, only 40 percent of doctors advised their patients to drop some weight. Fhis was a drop from the 42.5 percent in 1994. It was discovered that the atients who were recommended y their doctors to lose weight were around three times more likely to follow through and lose the weight than those patients who weren't given any recommendations. . Experts stated that diagnosing obesity in patients, advising treatment and scheduling regular check ups was just as important as treating hypertension and diabetes. Experts have also urged doctors to include advising weight loss to overweight patients due to its link to serious health consequences such as diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, heart disease and certain cancers. Statistics revealed that 30 percent of U.S. adults are afflicted with obesity. The defense offered by doctors was that they didn't feel they had enough knowledge on obesity to o f fer recommendations on it. Other experts claimed that doctors’ lack of recommendations regarding obesity stemmed from the absence of training and education on nutrition." At the Better Health Center, we have been telling patients to lose weight for 14 years and Dr. Madeira has the nutritional training and experience to hein you lose the weight safel today if you would le a By appointment to discuss weight loss with Dr. Madeira, WYOMING SEMINARY LOVER SCHOOL “Helping you feel better Did you also know wen and achieve more through Chiropractic” Twin Stacks Center 1172 Memorial Hwy ¢ Dallas 570-675-4773 Jenny Bowen, Montrose; Ann Searfoss, Carverton,; and Sue Hand with some of the art that will be on display.
