An important video about obesity.
A CBS News report states that healthy eating and physical activity are key components in reversing the trend toward greater obesity in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control / the CDC one third of adults in the U.S. are obese and this figure is rising. One of the problems is that healthy eating is not convenient. Most food choices that are convenient are not healthy. An understanding of what constitutes healthy eating is vital. Accurate information acted upon leads to better results.
In addition, obesity isn’t a stand alone problem. There are concurrent disease states that come along with obesity. Two of the big ones are Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Disease.
The amazing fact is that Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease are, to a large degree influenced by lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise.
Health literacy education is an important component in moving toward solutions. Everybody lives in a body. More people need to understand how to successfully care for their body.
