In today's society, being overweight to obese and living an unhealthy
lifestyle has become status quo. These days is acceptable , with most people
generally apathetic about it. But if people don't change their lifestyles, the
consequences will cause them to pay early for it in more ways than they ever
imagined.
Let me ask you a very serious question: If all these popular weight loss diets, books
and programs, being marked over the years have really been effective, why have the
number of people engage in unhealthy lifestyles and becoming overweight to obese
exploded to over 65% of the total population?" (USSG).
This is really a disaster, because people are wasting their money, ruining their life
and dying early.
The most disappointing part of this, is when one realizes that the majority of people
value, have the time , money and desire for the new lifestyles, new vehicles, new
movies, sports games, entertainment, new furniture, gadgets, hair styles. But when
it comes to valuing, spending time, effort and money on regular exercise, proper
nutrition, nutritional supplements, relaxation and meditation times, preventing
health practices and maintaining healthy life styles, the only thing people always
seem to have are excuses for why they can't or don't. Please take a moment to look
at the following statistics:
The USSG reports that about 65% of Americans are overweight to obese.
The centers for control disease report that:
About 13%of US children ages 8-16 are overweight to obese.
Less than 15% of US adults exercise 60 minutes or more a minimum of 3 times a
week.
More than 300 people dying each year from illness caused by or made worst by
obesity.
The UCLA RAND Center found that obesity raises a person's health care costs by
36% and medication costs by 77% (an average $395 per year) and they have 30%
-50% more chronic health problems.
Such chronic conditions are preventable for the most part and are primarily resulting
from unhealthy practices.
More than ever before it is an absolute necessity that we wake up to the fact that if
we do not change our unhealthy lifestyles, health insurers and legislators will
institute more dramatic and costly changes to health insurance and care. This will be
the brutally direct approach. The changes will be things such as using “colossus”-the
health insurance industry’s well kept secrets- to track lifestyles and issue “Lifestyles
grades” in order to “Merit Rate” Health insurance premiums and impose “Lifestyle
contributed surcharges on care”.
Please take a minute to review your health and nutrition practices. We should say
enough is enough and make a total commitment to our health. Soon rather than
later!
