It’s no secret that obesity is one of the leading risk factors for the onset of type 2 diabetes. Left alone, the combination of the two can be the start of a downward health slide that leads to heart disease and other major health issues. I’ve talked to...

I have gone on before about how your doctors lack of attempt to educate patients on their health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease has led to poor treatment compliance and often has led to complications or collateral health issues that could have been...

In a post yesterday we talked about stress related heart issues in women. Heart attacks just simply are not that rare in women and more should be done to be proactive about it. Lifestyle changes and regular checkups should be at the top of the list. I ran across a...

In my passion to ensure that the world understands the risks of cancer, obesity and diabetes, I have often referred to heart disease, coronary artery disease, as a collateral health issue. What I have neglected to do is give the number one killer of men and women the...

Do you have restless leg syndrome (RLS)? If not, surely you know someone who does. Those of us with RLS tend to kind of whine about it (I may be projecting…). Now comes real reason to whine. Not only is RLS a pain in the rear, it appears to have some connection...

The last time I played tennis I remember it being a significant workout. That was especially true because I was on the losing end of the game, meaning I ran twice as far and hard as the person who knew how to play. Bad news for those attempting to replace your daily...

I just did a quick gut check on my blogging efforts over the past year. Who really cares about what I believe and what I know about life insurance? Who reads this and really believes that I can do what I claim? I have had more than just a little interest in weblogs...

Bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass, has usually been reserved for people who would qualify based on body mass index as morbidly obese. A body mass index of 40 or more qualifies as morbidly obese. Newer thinking is leaning toward broadening the criteria. While a...

There are times when diet and exercise just never seem to accomplish what’s needed. There are times when morbid obesity becomes life threatening and a radical approach to control the situation is needed. Bariatric surgery, mostly commonly gastric bypass or lap...

There isn’t much hiding the fact that cigarette smoking isn’t a healthy lifestyle choice. Life insurance underwriters treat smoking the way they do for very solid reasons. It causes cancer. Cancers it doesn’t cause, it makes worse. It’s linked...

OK. So there’s really no easy way out, but it seems that fasting once a month may have some never before discovered health benefits. This surfaced when a study in Utah showed that Mormons had a lower incidence of heart disease. At first this was attributed to...

I become more amazed each day with the way diseases are linked to each. We’ve talked many times about obesity and the link to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. And we’ve talked about the link between diabetes and heart disease in the absence of obesity....

Even tempered that is! In case you haven’t been out of your house in the last 10 years, it is an increasingly angry society that we live in. That is one of the primary reasons I live in a small town. People are a little more laid back and things like road rage...

It’s been some time since I’ve just given a diabetes underwriting 101 overview. Some companies have changed stances, but overall the market remains somewhat consistent. Underwriters look at type 2 diabetes from several directions. Age of onset is a fairly...

Well, it’s almost a hard and fast rule. In most overweight people, weight loss will lead to lower lipid levels and a healthier balance between total cholesterol and HDL, good cholesterol. Almost! Anyone who follows the whole cholesterol issue, or for that matter...
