Weight (and obesity) is a huge issue in America. In fact, in the year 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 1 in 3 children and 2 in 4 adolescents in the United States were overweight or obese. That’s one out of every 5 children and one out of every five adolescents.
Since most of our foods are processed, we get the processed crap without a lot of fiber and nutrients. Because of the lack of fiber and nutrients, our bodies aren’t able to process the food and break it down to make us feel full. Since most of us are consuming processed junk foods, we develop an unhealthy relationship with our food. We eat it, we feel awful about it, and then we continue to eat it over and over again.
I recently read a study that proved that obese children are more likely to become obese as adults. As a result, people who are overweight may avoid or refuse to have children.
This can also be true for those who are underweight. A study done in Australia showed that people who are underweight are less likely to be obese than those who are not. Even worse, the study showed that people who are underweight are more likely to be divorced. These are very important points to note because they can be used by coaches, food-industry lobbyists, and anyone else who wants to help us lose weight and change the way we view food.
A study done in the United States showed that over 50% of people who are underweight are either divorced or remarried, which is the highest percentage of people who are underweight in the country. There is a lot more that we can do to help those of us who are underweight get their lives together, but we can still use the information we gather to help our friends, loved ones, and coworkers.
I had a friend recently who was struggling with her weight and ended up doing a lot of research on how to lose weight and improve her health. One of the tips she found was that eating organic is healthier than eating conventional. I highly recommend organic food because of the way it is grown. Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides, fertilizers, and GMO’s. There are also a lot of benefits to staying away from processed foods as well.
Although organic foods don’t contain as many chemicals as conventional food, processed foods are still made using chemical additives and preservatives in the food that have been removed. Processed foods, such as fast food, don’t have that same organic label, but are still harmful to our bodies. Processed foods are also extremely unhealthy because they have been processed at a high rate of speed, using chemicals that are supposed to be safe. And finally, processed foods are high in fat.
People who eat foods that are high in fat are also often obese or overweight. These are common results of eating the wrong foods for our bodies. Most people who struggle with eating are also overweight or obese, and some even struggle with an underweight condition.
If you want to know why processed foods are such a problem for most people, you have to look at the data. A 2010 study found that high amounts of processed food can increase your risk of heart disease and diabetes, two major causes of death. And if you don’t eat processed food, you’ll be at a greater risk of getting cancer, type 2 diabetes, and other lifestyle illnesses.
