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.
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.
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.
Those of us that go to the gym, even several times a week, don't work out nearly as hard as people used to do for a living. We just don't get the exercise that people did in the old days.
The second, and much more complicated reason is that the food we eat today is vastly different than the food we ate a hundred years ago. Before, most of the food people at was very fresh, and grown locally.
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 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.
So it's no wonder that more of us aren't even fatter than we already are. With little or no exercise, virtually no choice in the food that is available to us, we are left with little hope of becoming thin and healthy without a heroic effort on our part.
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.
