The world is round and so are a growing number of its inhabitants, and obesity – a growing problem – is the reason that for the first time in a 100 years, life expectancy will actually go down; in fact obesity is recognized as a major and rapidly worsening public health problem that rivals smoking as a cause of illness and premature death, and has been linked with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, stroke, cancer and psychosocial problems Popular entertainers promote foods that contain dangerously high levels of fat or salt and with many people adopting fast foods as preference, together with drastically decreased physical activity levels; the basic ingredients for accelerating obesity – a growing problem - are set for disaster.
Obesity results when people consume far more calories than they work off each day and this imbalance has been attributed to a variety of factors that characterize modern life:
- fast food
- growing portion sizes
- a sedentary lifestyle
- little or no exercise
Many experts agree that behavioral modification is critical to combating obesity – a growing problem. A health-care company like Shapelife strives to positively impact the mind-body connection and emphasize the power of weight management programs to help change the lives of those who suffer with obesity. By cutting out a couple of meals and supplementing with Herbalife's Nutritional Shake, the obese person can start out immediately by having the equivalent of a balanced meal, but with less calories, and still get all the essential nutrients necessary. Snacking on a delicious Protein Bar in between meals will help to keep the mind totally distracted from dieting problems while providing the obese person with energy to continue with this program to better health.
Once weight is gained, it is hard to lose; being overweight is an important predictor of obesity – a growing problem - if immediate steps are not taken. Knowledge of the dynamics behind this trend toward obesity is key to effective targeting of exercise and supplements that can prevent the gain of excess weight.
