Hilton Head Health's Weight Loss Center Combats the Effects of Obesity and Diabetes

Hilton Head Health is not a substitute for medical advice and treatment.  Instead, it is the natural path to helping your body prevent or control diabetes through lifestyle choices that are under your control.  In fact, even the best medical treatment may fail without your help through healthy lifestyle choices.

You have heard the chronic disease management and diabetes prevention advice before:  “Don't smoke. Drink alcohol only in moderation. Exercise regularly. Use sunscreen. Eat a low-fat diet. Practice stress reduction. Stay intellectually engaged. Get regular health check-ups.”  Easier said than done—unless you have the right kind of help.

Hilton Head Health's weight loss spa program will show you exactly how to do it.
We understand how to help you change the habits in your current lifestyle that make diabetes prevention or control or chronic disease management harder.  Physicians, dietitians, exercise physiologists, physical therapists, and other health professionals turn to Hilton Head Health for help in chronic disease management because we understand how to involve the whole person in the effort.

We show our Guests how to cope with chronic disease like diabetes, not only through weight loss and personalized exercise programs, but also through the cultivation of self-awareness, purpose, and confidence.  The lifestyle change you seek is about your approach to life—it is much more than an add-on diet for diabetics or diabetes exercise routine you quickly discard.

A Healthy Lifestyle is Key to Diabetes Prevention and Disease Management
Diabetes prevention or control, as well as chronic disease management, require a healthy lifestyle.  Scientific studies have found that lifestyle changes can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes among high-risk adults.

Every diabetes research organization concludes that healthy eating and fitness is beneficial to the mind and body and contributes to diabetes prevention and control.  Furthermore, many other diseases and health conditions can be brought under control, and in some instances even reversed, by a change in diet and physical activity.

Are You Vulnerable to Diabetes?
Diabetes is extremely widespread in our society, and is becoming more so.  Type 2 diabetes, which was once a disease of middle age and older, is more and more prevalent among younger people, even children.  Researchers believe our diet contributes to diabetes, and our lack of exercise makes it worse.  Here’s the scope of the problem:

The Complications of Obesity and Diabetes Spell Trouble
Diabetes is a disease that can be managed or prevented.  But if it isn’t, its worst effects are often through complications that can ruin your lifestyle, or worse.  Some of the complications our behavioral modification program helps you fight include:

• Heart Disease and Stroke
• High Blood Pressure
• Blindness
• Kidney Disease
• Nervous System Disease
• Amputations
• Dental Disease
• Complications of Pregnancy

We know you recognize these complications.  In some cases, they are serious disease conditions in and of themselves that require lifestyle change as well as medical intervention.

The Issue is Lifestyle Change
Your medical doctor must be involved in finding how to prevent diabetes or control diabetes, and you will need to follow a diet plan for diabetics that makes sense for you.  You will need a diabetes exercise program, and you will need to get serious about all of this.

But no amount of medical intervention can address the lifestyle or habits that may be contributing to your diabetes or chronic disease condition.  To effectively prevent or control diabetes, a lifestyle change built around healthy habits is needed.

Hilton Head Health weight loss spa is dedicated to presenting the most effective program to sustain a healthy lifestyle.  With your new healthy habits, your medical gains will become lifelong.
