The Facts

OVERWEIGHT/OBESITY

• Almost 80% of Americans are overweight and 34% are obese. It only takes 30 pounds over your ideal weight to be medically obese.
• Obesity leads to many other health risks such as: high blood pressure and cholesterol, fatty liver, insulin resistance, being less fertile, even damaging your lungs and getting asthma.
• Being obese can cost you up to $7,441 more each year.
• Obesity can increase type II diabetes by an incredible 930%; your odds of dying from coronary heart disease goes up 62%, as does getting a stroke by 64%.
• A third of all joint replacement surgery is from being obese and the risk of Alzheimer’s jumps by 42%.
• Healthcare may cost you 81% more than what a thin person will spend.
• Going to the ER will happen 41% more often.
• Likelihood of taking medications is twice as high.

HYPERTENSION

• A diet that increases your insulin increases your chances of dying from elevated blood pressure by 15%. Over 348,000 people died from it last year, don’t be one of them this year.
• 69% of heart attack victims had high blood pressure
• 77% of strokes are caused by high blood pressure.
• Hypertension medication has been shown to increase your risks of actually getting high cholesterol by 69%.
• Blood pressure medications increase people being admitted to the hospital for depression by 20%, and increase our chances of obesity by 58%.
• Blood pressure medication is expensive, it will cost you up to $990 a year.

Hyper-insulin prevention is better than taking medications. Lower your blood pressure by lowering your insulin levels.

HYPERLIPIDEMIA

• High Cholesterol will cost you $685 a year. And it has some nasty side-effects.
• Taking medications to treat high cholesterol is linked to both kidney and liver failure and high CPK enzyme levels, which involves your brain, heart, central nervous system, and can overload your kidneys and eat away muscle tissue. Maintaining muscle is vital to your good health.
• High cholesterol has been shown to increase the chances of getting both high blood pressure and type II diabetes by 46%.

Avoid insulin resistance at all costs. Having elevated cholesterol bumps your likelihood of being insulin resistant by 24% and that’s just the short list.

DIABETES

Many are fooled in thinking that type II is the safer type of diabetes. By 2030 44% of the population will have type II. If you’re over 50 by then, your chances jumped to 51% of having diabetes. Far too many are prediabetic, bolting to 26% of the population. But studies show less than 1 in 10 even know that they are pre-diabetic.

Not reversing pre-diabetes will result in you contracting full-blown diabetes within 5 years.

Rowley, MD, 1 Clement Bezold, PhD,1 Yasemin Arikan, BA,1 Erin Byrne, MPH,2and Shannon Krohe, MPH3.

With heart disease being the leading killer in the world, 68% of diabetic deaths are directly linked to heart disease. If you’re 65 or older your risks of dying from diabetes explodes by 40%. Even your kidneys are damaged by diabetes. 40% of all kidney disease is caused by it.

Because diabetes affects your blood flow of vital nutrients, almost 70% of all amputations come from diabetes. It even affects our young. 74% of children that go to the hospital are diagnosed with type II diabetes. We are all fearful of contracting Alzheimer’s. Having diabetes increases your chances of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s by 65%.

Being diabetic is expensive, costing over $1,270 a year and will balloon to almost $1,800 in the next decade. Type II Diabetes is definitely the plague of the century and one that is affecting our entire planet, and is caused by one thing: too much insulin for too long. Following a WiO Eating Lifestyle will help eliminate you suffering from diabetes.

NAFLD

You don’t know much about Fatty liver disease yet but trust the studies, you need to, it’s important. Up to 32% of the general population have it, and 75% of those that are overweight can count on having it too. And if you’re unlucky enough to have diabetes 74% of you will also have a fatty liver. If your liver is fat, 30% will have liver damage and if left untreated 25% the damage will progress to cirrhosis of the liver. All this comes with a price tag of $1,613 a year.

Higher insulin levels for too long will result in you becoming insulin resistant. Just like nearly 50% of other Americans are. Once your cells are resistant to the effects of insulin because they are resistant, your blood sugar will rise and stay there. That’s when you have type II diabetes. Continue down this high insulin producing diet and your blood pressure and cholesterol will rise. Fat around your liver and other organs will develop, weight gain, stiff joint, arthritis digestive, Alzheimer’s and over 20 other health risks can develop.

INSULIN RESISTANCE

• Having your body’s cells resistant to insulin is more of a dimmer switch instead of an off or on switch. Truth is, it starts with just a few localized cells that ignore this powerful hormone. If left unchecked over years of hyper insulin production, a majority or your cells will be resistant to insulin.
• Insulin resistance is usually the first chronic disease to affect you, because if you have any of the chronic issues mentioned above, you had insulin resistance first. This risk has always been there but checking for it wasn’t a common blood test that your doctor ordered. Do yourself a favor and ask your doctor for a “2-Hour Insulin Glucose Challenge Test.” This glucose tolerance test can help detect your high insulin levels. Over 50% Americans have insulin resistance, and yet 90% of people who have this condition are left undiagnosed.
• Because Insulin resistance is partnered with most chronic issues and definitely with those we’ve listed, it can be the costliest of all. Sucking $1,146 a month out of your budget if you have all the other related issues, which sadly, millions do.
