Body and Mind Transformation

About the Book

Statistics show 7 out of 10 adults over 40 in the first world have high cholesterol levels, which is proven to affect their cardiac and general health. In the UK, 2011, 53 percent of obese men and 44 percent of obese women were found to have high blood pressure. During 2011–12, there were 11,736 hospital admissions due to obesity. This is over 1,000 percent increase compared to 2001–02. Some of the simple reasons of the increase in obesity include the easy accessibility of cheap, highly processed fast foods, increase in sedentary work, and lack of exercise or active lifestyle.

About the Author

After graduating with a master’s degree in hospitality management from the University of Birmingham and struggling to find employment, Joseph realised he had become extremely unhappy and unhealthy. Joseph has always enjoyed exercise and sport, but because of lack of precise goals and of specific and clear training and eating habits, he put on excess weight, which resulted in 35 percent body fat. He weighed 118 kg and had a waistline of forty-four inches. Through talks with friends and family, he realised he was cutting his life short as simple tasks such as going up stairs and jogging almost takes his breath away. Joseph made a decision to hit the gym and eat well, resulting in a body and mind transformation. After six months, he managed to reduce his body weight to 97 kg—11 percent body fat—and a thirty-six-inch waistline. Since completing the transformation, Joseph has become a lifestyle guru helping people transform their lives with a personal trainer and personal coaching qualification. Joseph hopes reading his journey will inspire you to make the decision to transform you life. www.facebook.com/bodyandmindguru
