Weight effects everything from relationships, health, finances, employment, etc. As weight increases to an overweight, or obese state, health risk(s) increases simultaneously. Coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, breast cancer, colon cancer, stroke, sleep apnea, arthritis, infertility, etc. all increase in risk when BMI rises above 25. The health and life insurance premiums for an overweight individual are around 18% higher than a person of normal weight. The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA) has published studies that conclude only 1:11 male executives are overweight. The effects are really endless.
When the serious implications surrounding obesity are combined with the wrong approach to weight loss, it equals a national health crisis. According to CDC, 33.3% of all adult men and 35.3% of all adult women were obese 2006. In the United states, more than 20% of all men and women are obese and an estimated two thirds of Americans are overweight.
Solve weight issues
However, many people do try to solve weight issues. Most of the time this is in vain. The wrong approach to weight loss will often only further add unwanted pounds to the dieter. Lack of knowledge, combined with bombardment from false ad’s take those that are overweight down the wrong path. Weight loss is not a diet…it is a lifestyle change.
When unrealistic fad diets fail, the dieter is starved, and often overindulges; producing further weight gain. Likewise, unrealistic exercise programs will often cause weight gain, instead of loss. Exercise is not a frenzy of activity…it is a consistent maintainable activity level. After a few weeks of an unsustainable exercise frenzy, the exerciser simply gives up, and then does nothing.
Therefore, nutrition and fitness knowledge is key to weight health.
