HCG Diet Direct Recommends Parents of Obese Teens Consider Homeopathic Weight Loss::

HCG Diet Direct recommends parents of obese and overweight teens consider the advantages offered by homeopathic weight loss methods. The weight loss provided by homeopathic HCG diet weight loss programs can reduce the risk for common illnesses and diseases as well as decrease the potential for problems with self esteem, general confidence and depression.

Health problems that frequently afflict obese and/or overweight teens include:

-    Blount’s Disease: this bone deformity of the lower legs is a result of excess weight on growing bones.
-    Arthritis: Teens can sometimes find themselves suffering from arthritis at an early age (the painful joint problem is caused by wear and tear on the joints from carrying extra weight).
-    Asthma: Experts have found a connection between the existence and the severity of asthma and unhealthy weight levels.
-    Slipped capital femoral epiphyses (SCFE): This painful hip problem is occurs more frequently in overweight/obese teens. It requires immediate attention and surgery to avoid further injury.
-    Sleep apnea: This condition is defined by an individual temporarily ceasing to breathe while sleeping. It’s a serious problem for many overweight/obese teens. It leaves individuals suffering from a lack of sleep resulting in a lack of concentration/ability to learn. It can also lead to heart problems.
-    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (POS): Overweight teen girls may have irregular periods (or miss periods entirely). They may also have elevated levels of testosterone in their blood. Too much testosterone can interfere with ovulation, cause excess hair growth, exacerbate acne, and increase the chance of male-type baldness.
-    Pseudotumor Cerebri: This is a rare cause of severe headaches in overweight/obese teens and adults. The condition is caused by pressure build up in the brain. Other symptoms can include: vomiting, unsteady walking and vision problems (these could become permanent if the problem is not treated).

Other common problems that are found in high percentages among overweight and/or obese teens include: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver, gallstones, insulin resistance and diabetes, and depression.

Parents are recognizing that their role in the lives of their teens includes health and wellness. It’s crucial to get a grip before the problem is taken into adulthood. Bad habits only become harder to break the longer they continue.”
