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?
In the old days, most people weren’t lucky enough to sit at a desk all day. Work meant physical labor. Eight hours a day, five days a week.
If most of us are lucky, and are blessed with superhuman motivation, we go to the gym once or twice a week. The rest of us get little, if any, exercise.
Another reason, and this is much more difficult to overcome, is that our diet has changed dramatically. Most food people ate before was natural, locally grown, and preservative free.
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 problem with this is that it can be darn near impossible to find something to eat that isn’t laced with chemicals. Even if you do find a natural grocer with locally grown, preservative free food, you’d have to take out a loan to afford it.
Pretty much all the food you can find to eat today, from restaurants, to fast food places, to most supermarket food is filled with things that are simply not healthy to eat, and can cause all kinds of health problems.
It’s no surprise then, why we are becoming a nation of obese people. We are kept at desks, fed unhealthy food, and then shamed for being overweight. It’s not our fault.
The biggest scandal is that there are companies and corporations that are literally making billions and billions of dollars every year on food that makes us, and keeps us fat.
Only by discovering how to eat healthy, non processed food, and purge your system of the remnants of the unhealthy chemicals that you’ve been fed, can you hope to have a thin and healthy life.
