Is
your extra weight killing you? If you are over weight and inactive you
make be asking for a heart attack. With the number of over weight
people in our country that now exceeds the million mark doctors warn
that we are headed down a dangerous path to serious heart disease.
Obesity is out of control, and the medical profession claims that unless we shed the pounds it will effect our hearts. Recent studies show that our children are over weight and they don’t get enough exercise. And whom do we blame? With our high tech world of video and fast foods, it is not hard to figure out why. The average child eats out three times a week, and the only exercise they are getting is in gym class at school. Not only is being over weight uncomfortable in a persons daily life, it can cause serious health issues. We need to start from the beginning and relearn how to take care of our bodies. I once heard from a doctor that people treat their cars better then their bodies. Taking into consideration what we put in out mouths these days, it is no wonder this opinion is on the table in most medical discussion groups. The heart and stroke association has set up simple guide lines to determine your proper weight range, and the level of exercise that you should be doing in a day. You should know your own body and be aware of weight gain before it become a serious issue. If you cut your daily intake of calories by 200 and walk for thirty minutes you will shed pounds and take the extra pressure of your heart. Bonnie Stern has a wonderful cook book out for heart healthy eating and it is recommended by doctors for a proper eating plan. Don’t wait until it is to late shed the pounds that may be killing you slowly.
