Exercis, Is the Concpet working?
As you know every night when you turn on the tv you constantly see advertisments for exercise programs, diets, or even surgery options. However if you take a look at the statistics below you can see that obvisouly we are not paying attention to the adds. Ex: Between 1962 and the year 2000, the number of obese Americans grew from 13% to an alarming 31% of the population.-- 63% of Americans are overweight with a Body Mass Index (BMI) in excess of 25.0.-- 31% are obese with a BMI in excess of 30.0.-- Childhood obesity in the United States has more than tripled in the past two decades.-- According to the U.S. Surgeon General report obesity is responsible for 300,000 deaths every year.) These results here show that anymore americans are getting more and more lazy. This is not good for anyone kids, adults or even elders. Because when adults are obese, there kids see the size and habits that their parents have and figure that it is okay, when clearly it is very dangerous. We can always keep touching base on this subject but no matter what we say, read or write its all going to come down to what Americans do. It takes will power to want to get into shape. Drugs are not going to help, or surgery in the long run. The only answer to being helathy and in shape is proper diet and exercise. I hope that as the years pass this subject will keep coming up until it starts to show in society.
