The Wellness of YOU! - # 115 - Obesity
posted in Nutrition and Weight Loss |
There’s no question that we have a problem in the United States that is directly related to the subject of nutrition and weight loss — and that is the problem of obesity. This exists in every town and city in this country. It is finally reaching the point where people are becoming more aware of it, and are starting to do something about it.
Take a look at the picture I featured today — not the one of me — the one with the french fries. Do you know that french fries are one of the main culprits in our obesity problem today. Add to that, sodas, sugar-laden cereals, candy, potato chips, ice cream, super-sizing, and fast food in general, and you’ll see why we’re in the “shape” we’re in today.
All of our bodies require a certain amount of fat. The average person who is not overweight will have a body mass index between nineteen and twenty-five percent fat. If you are overweight, you will have between twenty-five and thirty percent fat. Of you have more fat than this, you are considered obese. This excess fat has a tendency to start accumulating around the stomach area. Then it will move to the hips and buttocks, and finally to other parts of your body.
How can we fight obesity?
First, we have to look at why we are eating too much of the wrong things. Sometimes it can be genetic — there may be a genetic trait that causes you to want the wrong things to eat. That doesn’t mean you have to eat them, it just may be harder for you to learn to do without them. Our environment is also a reason. Our fast-food lifestyle and super-sizing both at home and in restaurants is a major factor. Being taught from early childhood to eat the kinds of foods that will lead to poor nutrition is another factor. Emotional eating caused by psychological influences is another factor that leads many of us to over-eat.
Once you know why you do it, then you can begin to fight the problem. It is vital that you do, because obesity can lead quickly to severe health problems. You may need help to begin your fight, so don’t hesitate to ask for help from your medical professional.
What needs to happen is a drastic change in lifestyle and mindset. You can reverse the process. Stay tuned to this blog — we’ll be showing you how to live with a good nutrition and weight loss program.
