This is an Acid problem, not a fat problem

Achieving ideal body weight is not about dieting or food deprivation.  It’s about adopting new lifestyle habits that include proper nutrition and regular exercise.  Not only will excess fat melt away but your immune system will improve and reduce your susceptability to diseases.

One in 4 adults is obese in Canada.

During the 80’s & 90’s, childhood obesity in Canada tripled.  Today 1/3 of children are overweight or obese due to lifestyle and environmental factors, NOT genetics.  Childhood obesity leads to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, asthma, sleep apnea, liver disease, gallstones & heartburn.
