Obesity: No longer solely an adult issue
The health risks of being overweight and obese are alarming. The heavier we are, the higher our chance for developing diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancers such as colon, kidney and breast.
Today, the increased incidence of obesity and its manifestations include our children and adolescents; not just adults.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2.8 million people die each year due to repercussions of being overweight or obese.
Pharmaceutical companies continue their quest to develop the latest and greatest drugs for all of these “ailments.” Will we ever, as a nation, even entertain that diet and exercise are the key links that would actually impact and, perhaps, alter the growth of these epidemics?
Unfortunately, most people seem to favor a prescription rather than choose to be informed and responsible for their personal health and wellbeing. We hope to impact and increase the numbers who will choose to be informed and responsible.
