Prevent Diabetes and Obesity - Start Getting in Shape

Medical experts are warning of a potentially dangerous trend here in the USA. Are other countries faced with similar threats of obesity and the resulting health problems. Just look around - they are everywhere. Sitting across the aisle in church - or speeding down the highway. People are getting fatter. What is happening to us?

If this trend is left unchecked we here in the good old USA may be faced with a potentially explosive health crisis - and the resulting price tag. Much press has been devoted to the President's Health care agenda lately. The numbers are staggering. Over 800 billion dollars to provide health care coverage for an additional 36 million Americans.

If these medical scientists are even close to accurate in their dire prediction of more obesity and diabetes as a result - we are in for even more expensive health care prices. Diabetes is bad trouble - just ask anyone who has it. Or knows someone who does.

What if you could avoid this potential nightmare - and the incredible costs of treatment? What if you could avoid becoming one of the countless millions who just might develop diabetes due to the ever growing waistline?

Would you invest as few as 30 minutes a day to keeping these health issues at bay? Would you devote yourself to getting up and getting active for as little as a half an hour a day? Would you be willing to cut the useless calories and make the choice to enjoy eating healthier foods at every opportunity?

You can save a yourself a bundle. And help the good old USA avoid some rather expensive health care costs. Do it for yourself. Do it for your country! Do you have a family? Do it for them! Just Do It!!!

You can avoid adult onset diabetes. You can ward off and prevent obesity from entering into your world! Start getting in shape - fast!!!

Take Action - Reduce your health care costs

Just ran across some alarming facts:
In 1999, an estimated 61 percent of U.S. adults were overweight, along with 13 percent of children and adolescents. Only 3 percent of all Americans eat a healthy mix of grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and meats. And less than one- third of Americans get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days a week. While 40 percent of adults engage in no leisure-time physical activity at all.

While the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased for both genders across all races and age groups, disparities exist. In women, obesity is more prevalent among members of racial and ethnic minority populations than in non-Hispanic white women. And for the men - Mexican Americans have a higher prevalence of overweight and obesity than non-Hispanic men, while non-Hispanic white men have a greater prevalence than black men. Members of lower-income families generally experience a greater prevalence than those from higher-income families.

These trends already are associated with dramatic increases in asthma and Type 2 diabetes among children in the USA.

This last statistic is the most alarming - in that poor eating and exercise habits - or the entire lack thereof is impacting our children.

The growing waistline in Americans is already putting a strain on an over burdened health-care system. The shortage of Nurses and Doctors is only going to get worse according to some industry insiders. As baby-boomers get older - and fatter - they will need growing numbers of health-care services.

We can reverse this trend. We can take charge and improve our health. We can make healthy eating choices, exercise and lose weight! Health and fitness experts worldwide agree that the quickest way to lose weight is with plenty of exercise and eating healthy.

Take action today. Start eating healthy and getting in shape. Let's teach our children to enjoy a variety of healthy pursuits. Lets do our children and ourselves a big favor and cut our health care costs at the same time.
