What
is wrong with America and our weight?
You would think in the country with the best medical
systems and information about good health that the majority of us would be
sensitive about being obese.
The stats are telling: More than one-third (35.7 percent) of
adults are considered to be obese. More than 1 in 20 (6.3 percent)
have extreme obesity. Almost 3 in 4 men (74 percent) are considered
to be overweight or obese. The prevalence of obesity is
similar for both men and women (about 36 percent).
Surely, everyone has heard or read that obesity is not good for
your heart and can lead to diabetes and other maladies.
The simple solution is to eat balanced and proportioned meals
and engage in regular exercise. But, it appears this is not working and the
motivation is lacking. You are ok with the status quo because it requires no
discipline, until that heart attack or diabetes hits you, and if you are lucky
to live, you will probably start a weight reduction program, but that could be
short lived also.
It is depressing to walk down the street and see how many people
are truly overweight/obese. They are literally signing their own bad health or
death warrant that will cost more in time and money to correct, if possible.
Think about how good you will feel when you do something good
for your body and mind with weight loss and exercise a daily part of your life.
You can exercise and lose weight with discipline. Let’s get going for yourself
and loved ones.
