If you have been a health coach for some time, you will have noticed that the word coach is heard more now than when you started. It’s no reason to be alarmed. Rather it is time to rejoice. Well, the service that a coach can provide is being requested more and more. And boy, now there will be more mutual support between colleagues and the value of a health coach will continue to increase. Today there is a health crisis around the world. Obesity in Mexico is growing and people simply opt for practical foods that do not benefit them at all. And what can we say about habits. Very few have physical activities throughout the day and spend much of it sitting. All this is very alarming. Habits like this can lead to very serious diseases that will affect the lifestyle of each person or even lead to death. A recent article in The Wall Street Journal discusses how a health coach influences society today and the importance of their role in creating better living habits in people and a more balanced diet. The article mentions how difficult it can be to change those bad habits even when they cause so much damage. Achieving this change in people by health professionals turns out to be complicated. They simply fail to monitor each of their patients. It is at that moment that the health coach comes into action.
A study
A clinical study of 100 people who had worked with a health coach concluded that they had significantly reduced their weight, improved their diet, and now exercised more frequently in a 12-week program. Although there was very diffuse weight gain, the patients managed to maintain it for 3 continuous months after completing the program. “Many people manage to implement these positive changes in their lifestyles. But maintaining them can be very difficult for them.” –Matthew M. Clark. Psychologist and author of the study. In this study, the participants had their own coach, who helped them create a vision and an objective to achieve to obtain well-being every day. The coaches worked on many occasions with the attitude of the patients, since many saw the goal that had to be met as impossible. Once the behavior was replaced with a more positive one, patients became more interested in losing weight. Nowadays a health coach is very important for those people who are trying to create a change in their lives. The coach is the example to follow, since his habits are impeccable, he transmits security and the image he projects is the one that people with overweight problems pursue.
