Is getting fat in your future? Many of us only have to look in the mirror to know that as a nation we are getting fat. Johns Hopkins and government researchers looked at obesity trends over 30 years and predict that unless they change, by the year 2048, all of us will be overweight.
Despite efforts to contain the spread of the American waistline, obesity rates in adults rose in 31 states last year - and no state experienced a decline, according to a report issued today by the nonprofit research group Trust for America's Health. The report also found that 85 percent of adults believe that obesity, with its health risks of heart disease and diabetes, has become an epidemic. Yet 22 percent of those surveyed said they never exercise.
Rates of obesity vary widely from state to state: Mississippi topped the annual ranking with a rate of almost 31 percent, while Colorado remained the leanest with a rate of just under 18 percent. With a childhood obesity rate of nearly 23 percent, Washington, D.C., won the shameful distinction of having the fattest youth.
Is getting fat in your future? You must first understand the basics of why we get fat in the first place. You cannot solve a problem by looking its symptoms, you first have to understand the reason of the problem and only then, can you begin to take the right steps to prevent it. So the real question to ask is why am I fat and how did I get that way.
Why over 40% of Americans are obesity? The researches shown 4 out of every 10 people are overweight in the US. It is not surprising when you take a closer look at the environment we live in.
Americans basically do not have a very actively life style. We eat drink and sleep too much. Most time we choose fast food over home prepared meal or for a lot of us we start the day with a cup of coffee and eat a big dinner late in the day. Some of us do not do lunch all together. It is no surprise we are gaining weight more now than ever before.
Eventually our body’s natural system for taking care of the waste stops working effectively. Our body designed to be a perfectly made filtration system. What goes in, must come out. If you are not having at least 3 bowel movements each day you are carrying and storing dangerous toxins and exposed to the harmful effects from these toxins in the way of disease or illness. Even a chronic feeling of fatigue can be related to this.
