I almost skipped my workout the other day because there was so much laundry to put away and not enough time to do both. And then I thought "WTF am I thinking?! Getting my workout in is so much more important than the laundry!" . Life is busy and weird right now. We're a little all over the place, & for many of us trying to keep the house running while we work in it is making us pull our hair out. Even if you're not working from home, time is tight & there is always so mu...ch to do. . But what REALLY needs to be done? Let's talk PRIORITIES. . Your health is more important than the laundry. Youre health is more important than the dishes. Your health is more important than the floors. Your health is more important than emails & text messages. Your health is more important than clutter. . I know we need to keep our houses running & can't let chaos totally take over, but we CAN let go of a few things to give ourselves time to take care of our own health. . Your kids do not value cleanliness over your health and your participation in their lives. Your kids do not value an immaculate house over your longevity. Neither does your spouse. Or your parents. Or your friends. . Time is tight, so prioritize the things that actually add REAL value to your life. . Getting healthy food into your body and the bodies of your family. Incorporating physical activity into each day. Getting sufficient sleep. If applicable, tending to your mental health (with which the above will help). . Ask for help if you need it. Do you need help with time management? With communicating to your family? With meal prep? With incorporating more activity? Reach out, we got you. . Your health is more important than laundry. We mourn the loss of health. We mourn the loss of life. We do not mourn the laundry. . #FitnessForAll #BramptonHealth #HealthyHabits #BramptonMoms #BramptonDads #BramptonSoccer #BramptonHockey #BramptonSports #PeelRegion #BramptonGym #BramponTrainer #MoreThanAGym See more

Last week we established #obesityisadisease . Now let's talk about its causes, because it is not always simply an excess of calories and/or a lack of movement. Personally we think lack of education is also a cause, which is why we strive to provide reliable health info. . The following info is summarized from "Let's talk about the causes of obesity" http://ow.ly/ZElf50B7yMZ . 1) Excess Calories. Notable reasons for our increased intake: snacking (food in addition to meals), ...take out food (high fat, high sugar), alcohol consumption. . 2) Empty Calories. The type of food we eat matters beyond calories. "Ultra-processed foods" might be especially to blame (chips, ice cream, white bread, candy, cake). These foods are created using fat, salt, etc to make our brain want more & more. They're also void of any nutrients so the body doesn't recognize it as real food and therefore doesn't realize its full, causing hyperphagia. . 3) Genetics. Evidence sugests #genetics contribute to 40 - 70% of obesity cases. Over 200 genes are strongly associated with obesity. This does not necessarily mean you are destined for #obesity, but it increases the likelihood. . 4) Obesogenic Environments. Social, economic, cultural & surroundings. Exs: huge portion sizes, targeted marketing & socioeconomic factors (ex Black and Latinx communities tend to have less acess to healthy food). . 5) Medications. Corticosteroids, SSRIs, anti-depressants, MAOIs, antipsychotics, hormonal birth control, insomnia meds, high BP meds, anti-seizure & epilepsy meds & even certain Type II diabetes meds are linked to weight gain or obesity. . 6) #Stress. Chronic stress increases cortisol, promoting fat accumulation. Cortisol is closely linked with excess weight. . 7) Poor #sleep. Ghrelin (a hunger-sginalling hormone) is increased with fatigue. Plus, if you're up later you have more time to eat! . These factors do not exist in isolation. The interplay makes #obesity complex. See more

Firstly, what is obesity? The Obesity Society defines it as an excess of body fat, where "excess" means an amount significant enough to reduce longevity and/or health (not a BMI higher than 30). . Secondly, what is a disease? A disease impairs normal functioning and has distinct signs and symptoms. . In 2013, after 3 decades of research, the American Medical Association named obesity a disease. YES. Obesity IS a disease. ... . The Obesity Medicine Association defines obesity as a chronic, relapsing, multi-factorial, neurobehavioral disease, wherein an increase in body fat promotes adipose tissue dysfunction and abnormal fat mass physical forces, resulting in adverse metabolic, biomechanical, and psychosocial health consequences. . Why is this significant? Calling obesity a disease means we have to recognize its complexities. Obesity is not always caused by inactivity & overeating. Obesity is seldom solved by eating less & moving more. Naming obesity a disease means that resources need to be put into finding solutions that work, because it is not a "behavioural dysfunction" as originally thought. . Plus, there is real problem in our healthcare system with bias towards those w/ obesity. Multiple studies have shown that patients w/ obesity do not receive proper care due to the biases/judgements of their healthcare providers. They have also shown that those w/ obesity avoid doctors b/c they often have such a negative experience at clincs. . Obesity is a COMPLEX issue. Over the next few weeks we are going to attempt to break it down. What are the causes of of obesity? Can you be healthy & have obesity? How does excess fat impact your physiological function? Does the type of fat matter? Does the location matter? How can we begin to create intervention strategies that actually work?? .
