Weight loss is an issue that faces the entire country. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "More than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) are obese." The obesity epidemic continues to rise. In Florida in 2003, less than 19% of the population was considered obese. By 2010, that number had jumped to 26.6%.
Obesity is linked to such fatal conditions and diseases as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers. Also according to the CDC, in 2008 alone, $147 billion dollars in medical expenses were attributed to obesity related conditions.
One does not have to be considered "morbidly obese" in order to be at risk for these conditions. Indeed, an individual can appear to be at a healthy weight yet still be at risk if they hold a large amount of visceral fat in the midsection. According to the Mayo Clinic, visceral fat has been linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, as well as type 2 diabetes.
Naturally, not everyone who wishes to lose a few pounds is in a condition that is cause for concern. Though there are many people who need to lose weight in order to live healthier, fuller lives, there are also those who wish to lose weight or tone their bodies in order to feel and look more attractive, which can lead to a much higher level of self esteem and overall happiness.
The good news is that Primera Slim Spa is designed to help those who desire to shed a few pounds for the best possible appearance as well as those who are at risk for obesity related diseases. Primera Slim Spa is not a cookie-cutter plan for weight loss. So many well-meaning programs use one approach and one plan to fit a variety of body types and lifestyles. Primera Slim Spa patients are given customized nutritional guidelines, customized exercise plans, and individual care regarding supplements, medications, and counseling.
All Primera Slim Spa patients receive one-on-one care by highly trained professionals. They are given a complete blood test to determine the best course of treatment and are provided with medications of the utmost quality in a state-of-the-art facility.
Primera Slim Spa is supervised by Dr. Edward Gross, a published and highly respected physician who has been named as a leader in his field.
