Why Am I Overweight and What Can I Do About It?

by Dr. Adrienne Hicks

Why am I overweight is the question that most Americans ask themselves today. Since nearly 70% of our adult society is overweight or obese, we must pay close attention to our lifestyle to change our behavior before we develop preventable diseases. With Mississippi being the leading state of obesity, it has now developed programs to motivate its citizens to get outside and exercise, as well as eat healthy meals everyday. There are several reasons for being overweight. It may be due to having pre-disposing conditions, such as Hypothyroidism, but it could also be due to overeating. Adults should pay close attention to their eating and exercise behavior because children mimic what they see. Children in our society have a growing obesity rate. They are spending less time outdoors running and playing sports and more time indoors on the computer and playing video games. We need to re-introduce exercise in our school systems and in our communities to keep our youth active and healthy. This will prevent early-onset disorders caused by childhood obesity. So if you feel you may be overweight, consult your doctor and allow them to weigh you, determine your Body Mass Index and assist you with losing weight.

How You Think You Can Really Control Your Appetite

by Rich Carroll

 Traditionally we have heard that eating the wrong foods and eating too much of them was basically a product of lack of willpower. As more research is being done on the subject, we are finding that much more than willpower goes into what we eventually eat in our diet.
