Because you clicked on the title of this article, and are reading it now, you likely have a weight problem of some sort. Well, welcome to the most popular club in America today. Two thirds of American adults are overweight, or clinically obese.
Being overweight doesn’t come by itself. It brings along all kinds of other health problems with it. Of course, without the extra weight, many of these problems will vanish.
Why are so many Americans overweight? It wasn’t always like this. In the old days, most people were generally slim. In order to understand why so many more people are overweight now compared to then, we need to look at two major issues.
The first is lifestyle difference. People back then had to work a physically difficult job. Only people that were extremely lucky got jobs where they could sit around all day like most of us do today. People back then really worked up a sweat, every day, for eight hours a day.
And even those among us that can find the motivation to hit the gym once or twice a week, the workout is not nearly as strenuous as people’s eight hour a day jobs of a hundred years ago.
And secondly, the food we eat is not nearly as healthy as it was before. Before, most of the food people ate was fresh, and grown somewhere near to where they lived. It wasn’t trucked in from across the country, or shipped in from a different country altogether.
Contrast that to now, when most everything you can find to eat has been processed, chemically altered, and filled with preservatives. This can’t be good for us.
The problem is, we have little choice in the food we eat on a regular basis. Finding fresh, locally grown food is not only difficult, but extremely expensive if you can find a natural grocer nearby.
All the food you can find today, no matter where you get it, is likely filled with preservatives and chemicals.
And these foods are designed this way not for our benefit, but for the benefit of the corporations and big companies that make billions of dollars every year.
The biggest scam is that there are corporations and companies that make billions of dollars every year selling you food that makes you fat and unhealthy.
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.
