Where the U.S. ranks

Everything is bigger in Texas…and throughout the rest of the country!

According to the website, Nationmaster.com, the United States ranks number one on the obesity list, compared to other countries.  If you don’t want to accept the fact that we are becoming a nation, which depends of food for various reasons then check out the statistics for yourself. We are over 6 percent more obese than the second country on that list, which is Mexico. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity

 The foods that we choose to put into our systems without realizing their consequences puts us, again, at the top of unhealthy “food chain”. That is an over abundance of fructose corn syrup that people ingest daily.  Comparing to past decades, obesity has increased significantly and will continue to rise as time continues unless people become more aware of this chronic epidemic.

 Being healthy is more than following a diet for a few days, it is a lifestyle.  If someone is overweight or obese and is in desperate need to lower their weight, they have to be committed.  Committing to a healthy diet without processed meats, sugary drinks, and extremely salty dishes only leaves room to become fit.  Salt is one of the main “evils” of a diet.  One teaspoon is the ideal recommendation for salt intake; people in the United States consume a lot more than that by topping every meal with salt (processed meals or not). Once a proper becomes a daily routine, then exercising will be another assignment to maintain. Losing weight is easier when a diet plan is set and an exercise regimen, that supports your new eating habits, is being followed.  If you don’t know where to start for a diet…start by throwing away anything that is packaged or processed (e.g. hot dogs, frozen meals etc.) and restock with fresh produce and lean cuts of fresh meat. This will help guide your diet into the right direction toward losing weight.
