The Americans tend to lead a fast-paced lifestyle so convenience foods and takeaways always seem like the best option. Its not. Obesity in America has risen more than anywhere else in the world but not only with adults, children are also suffering the same fate! If obesity is not tackled then all around the world will suffer, not just America.
Some people in America suffer obesity through medical problems which is not fault of their own and cannot be helped but others are just far to lazy and eat far to much. Americans are taking the lead in obesity and no one seems to be doing anything about it except the medical research teams and endocrinologists who are trying to find ways to battle the bulge. With out the help of professionals it will be very hard for any obese person to loose weight, and they definitely need the support of their friends and family. In 2004, the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranked obesity as the number one health threat facing America and no one seems to be taking notice and doing anything about it. Obesity not only impacts your medical health but can also lead to lower self-esteem, and cause depression and discomfort in social situations, and is significantly reducing the quality of life among adults or children in American communities. Obesity in America is a growing story and needs to be tackled immediately.
Obesity is not a simple condition of eating too much. It is now recognized that obesity is a serious, chronic disease although eating to much does add to the discomfort and problem of obesity. American eating habits are different to many places, they are mainly carbohydrate eaters and that´s where the problems lye. Obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. A BMI of 30, in most cases, means that an individual is about 30 pounds over their ideal weight. Calculating your BMI is the safest way to determine how overweight you are as it calculates your height to weight ratio to give you a very close estimate to what your weight should be. Obesity in American is a serious and growing problem that is almost out of hand and needs the American people to take a look at each other and do something about it. If nothing is done then obesity is just a time bomb lurking in Americas shadows waiting to explode!
