Obesity is becoming a large part in America, in more ways than one. Exercise is a great way of avoiding obesity. When it comes to daily exercise, there are more than enough excuses. "I don't have time" or "I can't afford a gym" are just a couple of them. There are other ways to incorporate exercise in your daily lifestyle other than a gym. You can go for a walk before or after work. Use a commuter bike to get around rather than a car.
The epidemic of obesity continues to grow. A staggering 35 percent of adults in the U.S. Are considered obese. However, there is more. 34 percent of adults are considered overweight but not obese. That means that two out of every three American adults are overweight or obese. To think that 67 percent of Americans are at higher risk for deadly diseases such as Type-2 Diabetes or Heart disease is scary.
One way to make sure obesity isn't part of your problem is exercise. Exercise should be something that you do daily. It is a large reason why obesity is a large problem. The majority of Americans live a sedentary lifestyle. They are sitting regardless of the activity. Television, work, driving and eating all consist of sitting and not moving. Commuter bikes to get around is just one example on how you can move more and help fight obesity.
In this day and age exercise is a requirement for living a healthy lifestyle. Before these technological advancements people would get their exercise from every day necessary work. Newer technological advancements have made every day activities that required exercise obsolete. People had to walk or used commuter bike before we had cars. There were push lawnmowers before ride-mowers. The growth of fast food is also a large reason for the growth of America's waistline.
The epidemic of Obesity is something that can no longer be taken lightly. Considering that it is linked to Type-2 Diabetes and Heart Disease should signify how serious the epidemic is. Daily exercise as well as proper nutrition should be incorporated to your daily lifestyle to be sure that you can avoid it. It's time to stop being part of the statistic and start being part of the solution.
