It's all over the national

news: Two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. The cost of obesity

to U.S. busineses for healthcare, sick leave, and disability insurance

is estimated at 12.7 billion dollars. Doctors are finding elevated cholesterol

levels in twelve year old children and the onset of non-insulin dependent

diabetes in people under 20 years of age.

Death from cancers and heart

disease is on the rise. Currently, one out of three people will have cancer

in their lifetime. This number is estimated to increase to one out of

two by 2010. If you are an American woman who eats hamburgers and fries

five days a week, you have a much greater risk of developing breast cancer.

None of these unhealthy results

are necessary. Through diet and a healthier lifestyle, the problems that

come with obesity can be rectified.

Some healthy diet tips include:

- Drink at least 64 ounces

of clean water per day.

- Limit red meats to no

more than 3 times per week.

- Avoid fried foods.

- Eat 5-7 servings of

fresh, raw vegetables per day.

- Avoid caffeine.

- Limit sweets and salty

snacks.

- Walk 20-30 minutes per

day, at a brisk pace.

When support and guidance are

needed to keep on track with a healthy lifestyle, local citizens can call

Hi-Energy Weight Control Centers. Hi-Energy offers a professionally supervised,

healthy program and guaranteed results. Using no stimulants or pre-packaged

food, the program is physician approved.

"Our program is fast and

safe," said Hi-Energy owner Dr. David Towery. "Hi-Energy is

the best weight control program on the planet."

Barbara Brown of Fayetteville

experienced the program personally. "When I joined Hi-Energy Weight

Control Center, I didn't like myself," she said. "I saw

the ad in the paper. That was the day I decided to do something about

my weight. I made the call, and that started my change.

"My progress has been

amazing," she continued. "The plan is easy, and the staff is

very caring. My motto is 'nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.'

Thank you, Hi-Energy, for giving me back me."

Brown lost 47 pounds and over

71 inches while on the program.
