Weight Loss Goals Get Help at Web Site for Seniors Over 50 to Fight Obesity

March 26th 2008 14:17
(OPENPRESS) Mar. 14, 2008 - Bloomfield, MI – There are more than 72 million obese adults, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and most of them struggle to stick to their goals and resolutions to lose weight.

Unfortunately, most new year resolutions are broken within a very short time, according to reports. Many adults over 50 are turning to a health and wellness web site designed just for them to get the help they need to achieve their health goals for the new year.

The CDC recently reported that one in three U.S. adults is obese. Those calculations are based on the body mass index, which relates height to weight. For example, a woman who is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 186 pounds or more is obese. So is a man who is 5 feet 9 inches and weighs 203 pounds or more.


Adult obesity is twice as common as it was 20 years ago, and it makes conditions including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers more likely, according to the CDC.

For people over 50 who want to lose weight and find help with those and other health concerns, there is a web site designed to help them quickly and easily without cost or the risk of giving personal information over the Internet.

The site is located at http://www.50PlusWebHealth.com where information and help can be obtained without entering personal information with a simple click of the mouse.

The site makes it easy to find the resources that make resolutions easier to achieve, and it provides help with all the most common health concerns for people over 50. It is also very simple to find the desired information without any computer training or skills. Just point and click, without the need to enter personal information or register, so there is no security risk.


“We make it easier because there are so many forms of support and help for people to use. We have done all the exhaustive research and complied everything in one place to make it simple and easy to find. Plus, it is free, so you can’t beat that,” said William Person, founder of the site.
