The future will only tell.... To be fat or not to be fat!!!

Obesity

In our nation this is becoming a huge issue. We are eating out more often and drinking it up. This is causing health problems that are leading people to diabetes, blood clots, and even death. As a society we promote eating and drinking with little or no physical activity.

How this can be changed!

If we begin to look at different countries we can adopt there attitude of healthy life’s. Other countries tend to walk to there know destination or even ride bikes. This cutting down the pollution as well! We can begin to be a little more conscious of our eating habits. For example in England you don’t see many cars, everyone is walking!! Also with this trend you don’t see any over weight people. As you leave the main areas you start to see people becoming gradually overweight.

In schools, maybe this is a good start?!?

In our elementary school we have physical activities everyday and most like multiple times a day. As begin to grow a little older the physical activity is once a week to maybe not ever! If we made it mandatory that every student is active everyday then this would being to teach them good habits for later in life!

The future holds…..

I don’t believe that anything will ever change. The reason being is that our country is very money hungry and never stops working, and we are eating out more and more frequently! Fast is always better for some reason. But will it be the death of us. Time will only tell.
