Yeah as a personal trainer and fitness coach here in Singapore, its my job to tell people exactly how bad obesity is. It leads to more sick days and costs employers money. So its bad for the country and the economy.

If you don’t care about your boss and how much he earns… you should at least care about your brain because nobody’s responsible for that except you.

New research shows obesity linked to increased chance of dementia in old age! Ugh. that’s SCARY!

This should come as no suprise because if you are fat, your have likely eaten a bunch of trans-fats from stuff like fried and baked goods. Trans fats have the “wonderful” property of making  your brain cells less efficient.

And when the body has a choice, it will choose to lose short term memory first, because as a “Caveman” which we are genetically designed to be, long term memory like “where the buffaloes were last year” is much more important than short term.

Like just about every major illness in developed countries, it goes away with diet and exercise… no surprises there!

As usual our exercise programs, supplementation plans and individualized nutrition plans at the Genesis Performance Center make sure that your body kicks out any cells “infected” with trans fat, so that you are healthy from head to toe.
