WHY OUR DEAR FRIENDS ARE SO OVERWEIGHT?

I suppose the easiest answer is the affluence life style and eating habit, with eating fast foods playing a significant role. Many fast food restaurants these days offering much more healthier choices like salads, non-fried potatoes and meats. But why are we still over weight? The underlying reasons being the choices we take.

Modern society people like us live in a horridly busy lifestyle and very often, out of convenience, opt for highly processed pre-packaged foods which usually contain 3 highs, namely high salt, high fat and high sugar. These 3 highs contribute toward weight gain in most cases.

We are so accustomed to sit or rest a great deal, watching favorite television programs after dinner rather than going out for a leisure stroll like we used to do decades ago. Unfortunately, such bad lifestyle is passed down to our younger generation without noticing. When I was young, we used to run about in our neighbourhood playing games and not returning home for dinner until the sun went down. Watching television programs is just occasionally.

It is quite common to find children in front television or playing computer games for long hours these days. I am not saying television is BAD, but some programs are very educational. What I mean is that - instead, children should be more actively playing outside, rather than sitting in front of computer or television, eating potato chips, drinking their favorite high sugar soda.

Some people are overweight because they simply eat too much of the wrong foods and lack of adequate exercise. Losing weight is actually quite simple – eat moderately, exercise more. But we’re resistant to that message. Mainly, it’s because we’re looking for a quick fix – an easy, painless way to drop pounds without sacrifice. After all, losing weight just CAN’T be that easy, now can it?
