Can you handle the truth??? Here's some obesity stats!

I love truth! Don't you? It's when we face the truth of ourselves that we can change. It's when we admit the truths about our family, that our family tree can change.

Folks, we have a serious problem. A serious one. The gravity of obesity needs to impact your hearts today Whether you are obese/overweight, your kids are, your loved ones are - we need to take action a.s.a.p.

With the statistics of 65% of American Adults Overweight/Obese & 33% of American Children Overweight/Obese - HOW CAN WE IGNORE OBESITY ANY LONGER?

I heard a councilwoman say it last month that "America is eating herself to death"...and that's a fact.

Here's some truth - some statistics I collected for you.

Locally here, in Kern Co. CA, in 2008, adults of age 20+:

•  29% were obese
• 7% have diabetes
• 24% are inactive

Across the nation:

• 81% of the counties in Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia have high rates of Obesity & Diabetes.
• 75% of counties in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and S. Carolina have high rates of Obesity & Diabetes.

In 2009:

• California: 24.8% of population - obese
• Tennessee: 32.4% of pop. - obese
• Colorado: 18.6% - obese...wins the award for 'skinniest state'
• Mississippi: 34.4% - obese....wins award for 'fattest state' 

So what's this talk about Diabetes (Type 2)? Google it...learn about it. Long story short, YOU DON'T WANT IT!!!! Type 2 Diabetes is the preventable one.

Here's some numbers on this miserable condition that is PREVENTABLE!

• 3.7% of 20-44 yr. olds have it.
• 13.7% of 25-64 yr. olds have it.
• 26.9% of 65+ have it.

Conclusion: How you eat and don't exercise from ages 20-65, will determine your fate at 65.
Solution: Eat healthy and exercise while you have your youth & vigor!

In 2010, the new cases of diagnosed diabetes, by age follows:

• 20-44: 465,000 NEW cases
• 45-64: 1,052,000 NEW cases --- what?????
• 65+: 390,000 NEW cases

What I conclude is that the 45-64 year old group is high risk! Are you in this catagory? I think it would be safe to say that people are getting this horrible disease at a younger age than in the past. So really, narrow it down from youth to 45 (when you have the energy and time) to take care of yourself with diet & exercise - it will SAVE YOUR LIFE & HEALTH!!!
