SHOCKING facts on the prevention of obesity

[ric10]

Prevention of obesity has to be taken care of as obesity is not something that can be taken lightly, because it is a chronic disease. The bitter truth about the statistics on obesity is that they reveal that this chronic disease is now affecting more and more adults, adolescents and children too.

Here are a few SHOCKING facts on the prevention of obesity...
• More than 66% of the adults of the United States of America are stated to be either obese or overweight

• Around 17% of children between the ages of 2 and 19 are considered to be overweight

• Since the year 1980, obesity rates in America, have tripled as far as adolescents go and doubled as far as children go.

I personally don't accept the notion that obesity is a 'disease'. It's a largely self-inflicted condition, and shouldn't be classed as a disease at all.
