Oh what a shift! Death and disease from tobacco is being replaced with obesity related diseases. This according to recent study of trends. Heart disease has become the number one killer of women. Obesity from inactivity and very poor eating habits are killing not only women but men also. More children and teenagers are becoming overweight and diabetic. In this article we will concentrate on women and obesity.

First, lets look at the nutrition part of the growing dilemma. Fat from deep fried foods, bad cuts of meat and fats added in cooking compounded with sugar laded foods are the biggest culprit of the expanding waist. Start replacing that donut with an orange or apple. Eat chicken breast meat instead that fat laden bratwurst. Replace the potato chips with lite popcorn for a salty snack. There are web sites that you can check out that will help you in this area. Don't be taken in by some magic pill or potion to help you lose the fat. Cleaning up your eating habits is the best way. Generally the less processing the food went through the better it is for you. Example would be, an apple alone is better for you than apiece of apple pie.

Let's get active! Now let us touch on the lack of exercise and obesity. Do you have to train for a triathlon to get into shape? No. But you do have to increase your activity part of your lifestyle. Simple steps like getting off the couch while watching TV and taking a walk. Parking in the back part of the parking lot at work to increase walking distance. You don't really need fancy equipment just to lose a few pounds. Just determination. Or maybe you would like to start Fitness Walking. An excellent low cost workout. You are saying to yourself "what is the difference between walking and Fitness Walking?" With Fitness Walking you pace yourself fast enough to elevate your heart rate. When you reach your targeted heart rate, you are at optimum fat burning. Basically you need a higher quality walking shoe and a program to follow. Or maybe join a yoga or Pilates class. What ever you think you would like to do and stay at it.

The fact of the matter! Women may reduce breast cancer 25% to 35% with reasonable exercise. Again you don't have to train for a triathlon to receive the benefits. Drop the extra weight by watching your diet and becoming more active in your lifestyle.

Jeopardizing your health is the last thing Nature Boy wants. Please check with your doctor before starting a fitness program. We want to make this a healthy start to a better lifestyle.
