The Slimming Business Is A Daunting One… And huge business empires have grown out of this. Several billion dollars of diet products are purchased every year.
In All Honesty, Is It Really That Bad? Maybe you’re not classed as obese, but you’re probably somewhat overweight if you’re reading this. Around seven tenths of people in America can be classed as having weight problems. That’s over two hundred million! What’s more, it’s not a great deal less elsewhere. Yet we don’t wish to win this race…
It’s been revealed that in Britain today, one quarter of all adults are a minimum of 33lbs too heavy (and are therefore classed as obese.) But look at this – Some predictions forecast this figure will rise to 90 percent in forty years time.
It really does not have to happen though. We’ve got to stop the trend before it’s too late. Sensible dietary advice is the key – not expensive products that line the pockets of big business.
Very overweight individuals are more susceptible to contracting the following – Type two diabetes; mental health problems; high blood pressure; heart disease & heart failure; cancer; liver disease; osteoarthritis and high cholesterol. For these reasons it’s vital that we lose the weight.
It’s not like we have to be SKINNY – we just have to healthy. It’s about feeling comfortable and finding a weight you can maintain.
We should also teach our kids about good health. We should educate our youngsters from an early age, helping them to form good habits from the start. We’re not the only ones who’ll suffer if we continue doing what we’ve always done. We (and our kids) will get more of what we’ve already got. Which mom and pop wants that?
All of this means we can’t afford to carry on as we are. It’s our duty to learn more about which foods are nutritionally sound. We have no chance of teaching our offspring how to eat well for good health if we don’t know how to do it ourselves. But more than just the next generation – we could help to reverse the obesity trends we were discussing above if we start to get it right now.
