About the Exercise Program
Research currently being done shows the link between obesity and diabetes. These studies have shown that before gaining weight, those people who will become overweight people have a slower metabolic rate. This slower metabolic rate, combined with a high fat diet and a genetic tendency to retain fat may cause the epidemic overweight seen in the Native American Indian/Alaska Native population. The only way to correct obesity is to eat less fat and sugar and to exercise regularly. N.U.I.’s goal is to assist clients in making lifestyle changes that will lead them to a healthier, longer life span.
