Heart DiseaseTruths just about Diet, Obesity, and $75 Billion
by:
Dr. Donald A. Miller
Sensible diet prevents obesity!
Healthy living prevents most diseases!
(Unfortunately, old age is not a disease.)
These truths should be self evident.
Yet recent shock headlines tell us that "medical problems caused by fleshiness are cost accounting
U.S. tax payers $75 billion
per year".
The human body is a biological machine. We all cognize that overloading a mechanical machine can cause it to break down, yet we allow ourselves to overload our hearts,
joints, and more. Moderate exercise helps "tune up" the machines we live in.
Think just about it. Galore injuries are a direct consequence of being over weight and under exercised!
The U.S. Centers for Illness Control and Bar tells us, "Seven of 10 deaths, or more than 1.7 million each year, are caused by chronic diseases."
and
that the major risk factors for chronic diseases are "tobacco use, poor nutrition, and lack of physical activity"
with
"Obesity is a major contributor to heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and several types of cancer. Recent estimates
suggest that fleshiness is associated with 300,000 deaths annually, second only to tobacco related deaths."
"Type 2 diabetes, a major consequence of obesity, has besides reached epidemic proportions over the last 10 years." In
fact, "adult onset diabetes" is increasing among teens and pre adolescents.
Apparently the CDC thinks the commercial food industry makes a better job on shaping public opinion than do family discussions. Therefore, they are sponsoring public school
initiatives to help children, and their parents, become better educated.
If you have access to the internet, you don't have to wait for the CDC education programs. Do your own news watch and
research.
"Greedy drug companies" have been blasted for our rising health care cost. Possibly we should look to ourselves for part of the cause.
