Hazelwood Patch takes a cold, hard look at the data on obesity and what it can mean for your health. Plus, we provide tips for boosting your fitness factor.
Every year, people make a New Year's resolution to lose weight. It's no wonder, considering statistics show that more than half of all Americans are considered overweight or obese. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows Missourians are collectively getting fatter each year. The facts The voice of experience St. Louis County resident Sandy York said she lost 50 pounds over two years, going from 198 to 146. “I know it sounds trite, but I just exercised and watched what I ate,” York said. “I found out after the fact that stairs are not only good cardio, but will also help stabilize your core, leading to a flatter stomach.” York said she occasionally does push-ups and sit-ups on a stability ball, and she tries to…

Eating Healthier
A few ideas on reducing fat in our diets ... sssshhhh don't tell your kids or hubby!!
In the spirit of what is probably the New Year's Resolution uttered more than any other, I have been experimenting with ways to reduce the fat in everything my three children and I eat. Everyone could stand to eat healthier, whatever their own personal motivations. The first thing to do is READ the labels ... on everything. It is often very simple to make something healthier just by omitting the butter or margarine when it is prepared. My kids love to eat stuffing, but it says to add one-fourth cup of butter when you cook it!! That adds about 40 grams of fat to six servings! If instead of the butter, you add an extra one-eighth cup of water, you remove eight grams of fat and 70 calories from every serving. At 100 calories and only one …

New Year's Resolutions for Mom
Reasonable, attainable and maintainable New Year's resolutions for parents.
Well 2011 is here and if you haven't decided on a resolution, now is the time to begin pondering your New Year's resolutions. I want to make resolutions that are not only reasonable, but ones that are attainable and more importantly–MAINTAINABLE! My first resolution for '11 is to put not only a "date" night, or afternoon, for each of my kids on my Outlook calendar, but also a family night at least every other month where we go do something together. These outings may be as simple as taking my nearly 17-year old daughter to Joe Muggs, inside Books A Million at St. Louis Mills Mall, for coffee. It may be even taking my 13-year old son to Chevy's for dessert of fried ice cream, or teaching my almost 15-year old son to drive on a slow day in …
