In the spirit of fighting back against the scourge that is
obesity, I again choose to focus on this topic.
I was watching an amazing program last night called ‘Bigbody squad’ that highlighted the super obese in the UK and how the public health care system is having to make extremely costly changes and amendments to its facilities in order to accommodate these people and ensure that they are able to be moved. Having regular people over 200KG is not normal in any country.
Ambulances are having to be reinforced to carry the weight of these folks and one of the fastest growing industries in the UK is now producing and selling devices that can be used to move these folks around. One business reported that in a downturn he was growing by 400%. That is really unheard of and although I don’t begrudge him and his workers making money, surely the fact that so many are that overweight is a grave concern.
Tax payers are naturally funding all of this when the hard truth is that this is all very preventable if people would just move more, eat less and consume healthier foods. It really is not rocket science and is something that I have personally done in turning my life around, so I fail to believe that others can’t follow my very simple steps to attain the same results.
It seems though that we are fixed on quick results and are not prepared to do anything the hard way even when it comes to the most important thing in our lives – our health.
If you do anything today, I urge you to get up out of that chair and step out the door.
