Are you overweight? Do you struggle when you button your pants every morning? Don’t worry, you are in good company. Most of adult Americans today are overweight, or have some kind of weight problem.
Not to mention all the other health problems that come along with being overweight. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a host other problems which can be directly related to weight issues.
So why are we so fat? Were Americans always fat or is it just a recent thing? If you took a look back a hundred years or so, you’d notice that very few people were fat back then. What was different?
The first is lifestyle difference. People back then had to work a physically difficult job. Only people that were extremely lucky got jobs where they could sit around all day like most of us do today. People back then really worked up a sweat, every day, for eight hours a day.
Those of us that go to the gym, even several times a week, don’t work out nearly as hard as people used to do for a living. We just don’t get the exercise that people did in the old days.
The second, and much more complicated reason is that the food we eat today is vastly different than the food we ate a hundred years ago. Before, most of the food people at was very fresh, and grown locally.
Today, most of the food is processed, chemically altered to make it last longer, and filled with preservatives. It might make it last longer on the shelf of a store, but is it healthy?
The biggest difficulty with this is that it can be next to impossible to find something to eat that doesn’t seem like it was developed in a laboratory. And even if you a natural food grocer, it can be too expensive to eat on a regular basis.
All the food you can find today, no matter where you get it, is likely filled with preservatives and chemicals.
And these foods are designed this way not for our benefit, but for the benefit of the corporations and big companies that make billions of dollars every year.
The biggest scam is that there are corporations and companies that make billions of dollars every year selling you food that makes you fat and unhealthy.
But when you figure out how to eat healthy, and get a little bit of exercise, you can start to take your life back, little by little. It may take a little motivation and willpower, but it’s your life. It’s important.
