Obesity In America Today

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!
