obesity



from eMedicineHealth.com;

May 7, 2010 -- Americans still aren't heeding media and medical messages about the dangers of obesity. More Americans were obese at the end of 2010's first quarter than at the same time last year, according to the latest Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.

this tells us that Americans are eating more
and exercising less, despite the myriad of
programs, products and information available.

the health risks associated with obesity are
numerous. High blood pressure, diabetes,
cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

the problem has become the second leading
cause of preventable death in the U.S.;
even with billions spent on diet books, pills
and diet food.

mass media bombards us with fast food ads,
restaurant deals and tons of snack foods.

this is a major problem that's only getting worse.
the solution is so simple in theory;
eat less, exercise more- not always easy in
our fast paced society.
