Obesity

The foods we eat every day are crucial for our well being. Foods we eat provide use vitamins and other nutrients we need for healthy body, but also the energy is being provided. It is important to realize that if we eat too much, the extra food turns into fat and we gain weight, if we do not do anything. With a passive lifestyle we may become obese and this of getting obese is very quick.

Obesity is an epidemic disease in America, but unfortunately not only there. Obesity occur everywhere The statistics say that more than half of Americans are overweight and at least 1 in 5 children too!!, which is alarming situation. Nearly 1/3 of population is obese. The problem with increasing obesity is that the food is abundant and physical activity is optional.  

In a obesity case the media trying to be helpful. There are tons and tons of exercising channels on TV. Like yoga channel, or every morning some exercise program, about 20 minutes long. Media in this case try to persuade people that it is important to eat and live healthy. There are still more and more discussion about this topics, maybe they concentrate more on children obesity, because it is definitely the major problem. Today´s children are less active than ever before, they spend hours in front of TV or computer, playing games, watching movies and eating. If they do nothing active, these passive activities resulting in gain weight. It seems to me, that our society still does not realize the danger of this issue. Firstly obese people are not able move as much as they should, because the weight is so high, that every movement hurts. In a sense that all joins have to carry the body, so it follows that knees or hipsters are getting attrite. Heart should work harder and pump up more blood, than ever before, so the potential stroke is waiting and others. The media shows that obesity is a problem and try to focus on that.
