According to an article about the fattest countries in the world, the U.S. weighs in at #9. The article
from Forbes.com was posted by Yahoo Finance in 2010 and states that in the U.S., about 74% of
those over 15 years of age are considered to be overweight. That is staggering when you see that
only about 1 out of 4 people living in the U.S. are at or below their recommended weight. These
numbers can probably be widely debated, yet the fact remains that people are not living healthy
lifestyles that promote consistently good fitness and health habits.
So, there must be a reason for the lack of focus on nutrition fitness health and other diet and
exercise related activities. Many changes have taken place in society that would cause people to
become distracted from fitness and health related activities. Some of those are listed here:
The Internet - Since the onset and surge of the internet, millions of people that did not own
computers before, do now. Hours upon hours are spent in front of a small screen causing eye
strain, fatigue, and poor posture. Not to mention the time this takes away from physical exercise.
Video Games - Many children are restricted to indoor activities due to safety concerns of their
parents. It used to be fine to send the kids out to play and they would be outdoors for hours upon
hours. Now, it is the other way around.
Electronic Devices - Every kid wants to be "connected" these days. It started with email, then cell
phones, next came the ability to text your messages, and now there are online social networks to
keep kids distracted from exercise for hours upon days and more hours and hours.
Busy Lifestyles - It is common now for both parents in a household to work. Many work at least 8
hours a day or longer and then commute for many more hours. Anxiety and fatigue are common
side effects of a busy lifestyle. Diet has become fast food and exercise is walking to and from the
car.
Something must give. What has suffered is our health. Common health conditions like stroke, high
blood pressure, bowel disease, and people having trouble sleeping are all symptomatic of a
society letting itself go. What must happen now is a complete shift in focus. Our parents used to
say, "everything can be done in moderation". So consider that you can do all of the things you do
now, just less of them.....and do more of the things you are not currently doing.
One of the first things you can do is set goals for fitness and health, such as a good lose weight
diet plan to get you started. This can be as simple as setting a limit on the number of sodas you
drink in a day. Establish a routine and set aside 20 minutes a day for 5 days a week to get your
heart rate going. Eat a small breakfast, even if it is just a dry piece of toast and glass of juice on

2. the way out the door. Your metabolism will kick in and you can actually lose weight from eating
something in the morning.
Next, set aside some time to relax some. Your body needs to rest emotionally, so find something
quiet to do each day for 15 to 20 minutes. Also, try to cook at home as much as possible. Eating
out a lot is not a smart health fitness nutrition strategy.
So let us review. Changes do not have to be radical, just work gradually into developing a healthy
lifestyle. Remember that fitness and health related exercise are essential for good physical and
mental health. Diet and nutrition are critical, so eat more foods with high nutritional value like
vegetables, lean meat, fruit, nuts, and grains. And finally, get educated on everything about
nutrition fitness and health conditions. Learn how to recognize the symptoms of serious health
problems so you can stay healthy.
So, the next time you hear people talking about nutrition fitness and health related conditions, just
remember to share us with them.
