The Obesity Problem
Considering
in the United States, the obesity problem ...considering all the diet
foods, weight loss and weight management programs popping up every year
and how a magic formula will somehow shed all those unwanted pounds
...we are packing on more “fat” at an alarming rate.
Being
overweight is quite simple
...its nothing more than excess body fat
stored in the fat cells. By the latest standards, if you are 20% over
the normal weight according to your age, height and build ...you’re
considered obese (fat).
However,
that is not always true. Take for instance the body builders who pack
on muscle mass ...they will weigh more than the norm according to some
standards. Maybe we should look at the percentage of fat in the body
instead of the persons overall weight. I think that would give us a
better reading.
For
the benefit of doubt, lets say that women should be around 23-25% body
fat while men should fall in the range of 17-19% body fat. When we
keep this ratio of fat to lean body mass ...we would be much healthier
as a nation by reducing the risks of coronary artery disease, high
blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, gallbladder and kidney disease ...not
only does obese (fat) people have psychological and physical
problems...they as well, have health problems.
The
most common causes of obesity are the typical western diet
...fast food
...processed foods and high sugar foods. Add to that list ...our
working environment and the lack of exercise.
Some
experts believe that food sensitivities and allergies cause the system
to store poisons and toxins...and it is this condition that cause the
body to retain excess amounts of water...to dilute and rid the body of
these poisons and toxins ...that makes some sense!
Other
experts say that at least one third of the United States population is
somewhere around 20-22% overweight. And even with all the education,
news media and weight loss programs ...as a nation, America is getting
fatter and there is no end in sight.
From
every estimate, unfortunately, of all who lose the weight often times
find that they gain it all back in three to five years.
As
we’ve said in the other articles
...basically there are 3500 calories
in one pound. When you burn 3500 calories ...you lose one pound. When
you consume 3500 calories more than your body burns off ...you gain one
pound. It’s mathematical.
It
takes will power to lose those unwanted pounds. It takes a plan to
reduce calories. It takes a plan to exercise and work those muscles.
It
takes a choice, a commitment and an action plan ...and work at the
action plan consistently for as long as it takes to get the weight
off... because obesity (fat) is a serious health problem in this
country and according to the experts, its increasing more and more, day
by day.
Here’s our helpful hint:
use a crutch to help you along with your weight management program...
- Find and use a reputable nutritional energy product.
- Find and use a reputable appetite suppressant.
- Find and use a high fiber product with your meal to give you the feeling of fullness and reduce your calorie intake.
And
as always ...drink plenty of clean fresh filtered water with 2-4 ounce
of “the best tasting” aloe vera in the industry ...know your supplier.
