HEALTH TIP #2 - AMERICANS ON SUGAR
In 1999, Americans hit an all-time high in sugar consumption. We consumed 89 pounds of sugar per person per year. That is 1.5 pounds of sugar per week! Unfortunately, we have only slightly curbed our sugar eating ways, and this year Americans consumed about 78 pounds per person per year. A big chunk of our added sugar comes from sodas and other sugar-sweetened beverages, which are linked to a higher risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Let 360 Medical Weight Specialists help you break the sugar cycle.

HEALTH TIP #3 - WHAT'S YOUR SIZE
Your waist size can be an indicator that tells you if you are at risk for serious health problems. Women, if your waist is 35 inches or more, and men, if your waist is 40 inches or more, you are at a higher risk for diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease and stroke. By reducing the excess weight around your waist, you will not only feel better, but you will reduce your exposure to other serious health problems.
