American Diabetes Association Expo San Antonio

If you or someone you know is affected by, or is at risk for, diabetes, then expos such as the one tomorrow are a great place to go for education and resources!  If you’re in San Antonio, you should visit The American Diabetes Association Expo May 21, 2011, 9am-2pm.  There will be free health screenings, healthy cooking demonstrations, exhibitors with useful information, and even a youth and active living zone.  This is a FREE event.  San Antonio Fit Club will be there with a booth displaying our Beachbody Products, including the Diabetic Nutrition and Exercise Program: Kathy Smith’s Project: You! Type2, which has been approved by the ADA.  We will also be doing a couple of fitness demonstrations.  Stop by and see us!  If you’re not in San Antonio, or you miss this event, go to the American Diabetes Association website, and go to their Events page to see what’s coming up in your area.

From Texas Diabetes Institute, University Health System:

“According to the most recent estimates diabetes remains the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. People with diabetes are at higher risk for heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, extremity amputations and other chronic conditions.”

Men’s Health published a report of America’s Fattest Cities.  In 2010, out of 100 cities ranked from #1 being the fattest, Texas has 5 cities within the top 10; San Antonio is #7, only 6 places away from the fattest city in the US.  It’s time to make a change!

One program, offered by Beachbody, and approved by the American Diabetes Association, is Kathy Smith’s Project: You! Type2.  It is a 12-week nutrition and exercise program, designed to help those with, or at risk of Type 2 Diabetes.  Take a look and see if you think this program is for you.

We’re here to help people live healthier, happier lives.  How can we help you today?
