WARNING: Eating May Be Hazardous to Your Health
By: Kathy Thompson
We Americans have been warned we are over weight. Those warnings are saying that the increase in obesity is almost at the level of smoking as far as a preventable cause of death. One study said that the number of overweight adults is at 60% or more. In other words, a fit or thin person is in the minority. As for children, articles mentioned that in prior studies it took 30 years for the prevalence of overweight children to double. In the present time frames the time it takes to double the number of overweight children is now down to 12 years. It shows that with recent technology things just happen faster whether it is good or bad. Instead of playing outside and doing physical activities, kids are now playing video games and sitting down watching activities instead of doing something. Another fact indicates that the number of days and time spent in physical education is dwindling and the result of inactivity has led to an increase in overweight and obese children. Eating habits are changed. No one has time to eat right now. It seems that food classified as junk food or fast food is now the majority of meals eaten by people. I doubt that many of our children know what a real potato tastes like. Some eat at their jobs or try to catch a snack as they drive through the fast food places. Kids love little trinkets given to them at most fast food places. This is a ploy to get you there. These changes add up to a real problem in overweight Americans. Some time ago it was thought that as you got older, you automatically gained weight. We now know that is not the case. Most older Americans, just need to adjust their intake. This can change with awareness, education, and a sensible eating plan. Now there is a diet that can change your life. It is The Easiest Most Powerful Diet in the World. And it is Only $3! "The 5-94 Diet Solution" is the only diet you will ever need. Details are at; http://www.words4-u.com/catalog.html Kathy Thompson has been studying nutrition and health for over 20 years.
