I heard on the radio today that experts are predicting by 2030 about 50-60% of the population will be obese. That is scary as hell to think about.
I feel like as a nation we aren’t doing everything that we could be doing in order to stay healthy. I know for a fact I’m not. For example today at lunch I had a huge turkey and cheese sub where instead I could have had a salad. Now I am not saying not to ever eat anything other than a salad but we need to start doing our part to get and stay healthy. Our kids learn from us and we as parents need to be good role models for our children so that they develop healthy eating habits.
I read about a lot of people turning to surgery for a quick fix instead of taking the time to do it right. I can understand getting certain procedures done when necessary like a tummy tuck but there are risks and a lot of questions to answer: www.tummytuckcost.com/frequently-asked-questions-about-tummy-tucks/. People need to fully understand the risks associated with certain medical procedures before jumping in head first. I am sure 99.5% of these kinds of medical procedures end well but like I said people need to be 100% certain of ALL of the risks and what they are getting into exactly.
I hope the statistic that I heard today turns out to be false because if 50-60% of our population becomes obese we are in for some serious problems.
