Are You at Risk for Fibromyalgia?

June 22, 2010 By Roland Phillips (D.C.)

According to Vasselsen, Nilsen and Associates from the Norwegian Hunt Study there is an association between physical exercise, body mass index ( % of body far v lean muscle mass) and the risk of Fibromyalgia.  I would add heart disease, stroke, type II diabetes, arthritis, auto immune disease, etc.  The study found that women who are overweight or obese have a much greater risk of Fibromyalgia than women who are not overweight or obese and exercise.

The National Institutes of Health recently published information stating 66% of Americans are overweight and 30% are obese.  Children of 12 years of age are now presenting with type II diabetes and 17% of children 2-19 year old are obese.

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology states the BMI as the primary indication for disease and death. As BMI increases so does disease and mortality.

I’ve written many blogs on exercise, diet and attitude changes.  My question to you is – If you are in this boat, when will you honor and respect yourself enough to be willing to change, before it’s too late!
