Are you overweight? Do you struggle when you button your pants every morning? Don't worry, you are in good company. Most of adult Americans today are overweight, or have some kind of weight problem.
Being overweight doesn't come by itself. It brings along all kinds of other health problems with it. Of course, without the extra weight, many of these problems will vanish.
So why are we so fat? Were Americans always fat or is it just a recent thing? If you took a look back a hundred years or so, you'd notice that very few people were fat back then. What was different?
First of all, peoples lifestyles were much different back then. People had much more active lives. Most people had to work hard physical labor to make a living. Today most people sit at a desk.
If most of us are lucky, and are blessed with superhuman motivation, we go to the gym once or twice a week. The rest of us get little, if any, exercise.
And secondly, the food we eat is not nearly as healthy as it was before. Before, most of the food people ate was fresh, and grown somewhere near to where they lived. It wasn't trucked in from across the country, or shipped in from a different country altogether.
Today, most of the food is processed, chemically altered to make it last longer, and filled with preservatives. It might make it last longer on the shelf of a store, but is it healthy?
The biggest problem with this is that it can be darn near impossible to find something to eat that isn't laced with chemicals. Even if you do find a natural grocer with locally grown, preservative free food, you'd have to take out a loan to afford it.
Restaurant food, fast food, and even most of the foods you buy at your local supermarket are filled with chemicals and junk that is just not healthy. And this can cause all kinds of problems to your digestive system.
And these foods are designed this way not for our benefit, but for the benefit of the corporations and big companies that make billions of dollars every year.
The biggest scandal is that there are companies and corporations that are literally making billions and billions of dollars every year on food that makes us, and keeps us fat.
But when you figure out how to eat healthy, and get a little bit of exercise, you can start to take your life back, little by little. It may take a little motivation and willpower, but it's your life. It's important.
