Shrink your waistline, not your brain

A new UCLA study found that brain size and weight may be inversely correlated.

"The brains of obese people looked 16 years older than their healthy counterparts while [those of] overweight people looked 8 years older," UCLA Neurologist Paul Thompson said in the U.S. News article.

These results were found in the elderly obese or overweight. Obesity has already been linked to a greater chance of Type 2 Diabetes and 30% of Americans over 20 are considered obese.

Though the reasons for this relationship isn't clear, Dr. Mitchell Rosin of Lenox Hill Hospital in New York said in the article that "obesity affects every system in your body. The body can't be splintered. It's completely linked. We are what we eat and we eat too much."

Weight loss isn't easy for anyone, especially with so many conveniences and junk food openly available.

At the Skin Center, we offer an HCG Diet, or Life Style Medical Weight Loss Diet that combines nutrion, excercise, cleansing, neutraceuticals or food extracts with healthy functions, and meditation. This coupled with our newest service, Zerona, will produce much better weight loss results.

Help your brain grow and think about the HCG diet and Zerona. Dr. Escobedo tried the diet personally and lost 15 pounds in a few weeks.
