Truths about Diet, Obesity, and $75 Billion
Sensible diet prevents obesity!
Healthy living prevents most diseases!
(Unfortunately, old age is not a disease.)
These truths should be self evident.
Yet recent shock headlines tell us that "medical problems
caused by obesity are costing U.S. tax payers $75 billion
per year".
The human body is a biological machine. We all know that
overloading a mechanical machine can cause it to break
down, yet we allow ourselves to overload our hearts,
joints, and more. Moderate exercise helps "tune up" the
machines we live in.
Think about it. Many injuries are a direct consequence of
being over weight and under exercised!
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tells
us, "Seven of 10 deaths, or more than 1.7 million each year,
are caused by chronic diseases."
and
that the major risk factors for chronic diseases are
"tobacco use, poor nutrition, and lack of physical activity"
with
"Obesity is a major contributor to heart disease, diabetes,
arthritis, and some types of cancer. Recent estimates
suggest that obesity is associated with 300,000 deaths
annually, second only to tobacco related deaths."
"Type 2 diabetes, a major consequence of
obesity, has also
reached epidemic proportions over the last 10 years." In
fact, "adult onset diabetes" is increasing among teens and
pre adolescents.
Apparently the CDC thinks the commercial food industry does
a better job on shaping public opinion than do family
discussions. Therefore, they are sponsoring public school
initiatives to help children, and their parents, become
better educated.
If you have access to the internet, you don't have to wait
for the CDC education programs. Do your own news watch and
research.
"Greedy drug companies" have been blamed for our rising
health care cost. Perhaps we should look to ourselves for
part of the cause.
