And it is a problem. 2 out of 3 people in America are obese. And this is a problem, not only because it slows people down, but it comes with a whole slew of other medical problems, like lymphedema, depression, and cancer. These among many other things can really destroy a person and it is also damaging our society.
This problem has been around for a while, with so many people appearing on talk shows all upset with how they can't stop eating. So what has science done? Well they created formulas and drugs to help us loose weight. Just today there was an article in the ScienceDaily.com news on another drug that may hit the market in a few years called tesofensine. Along with these drugs many people are trying different fad diets that kind of come and go.
Because obesity is this big of a problem and people have not been loosing weight, the Campaign of Healthy Weight has been activated. A whymilk.com action, this is a nation wide campaign is dedicated to tea
ching people how to be healthy and not just go by a number on the scale. Their message is simple, eat healthy, be active, and drink milk.
Milk has many major nutrients inside, including calcium for strong bones, protein for muscle building, vitamins A and D and even potassium. These are all excellent nutrients to get a natural boost. Not to mention that people how drink milk are less likely to become obese.
The Campaign is stopping in Baltimore Oct. 25 (where 25% people are obese) as well as at the American Heart Association's Start! Heart Walks across the nation in several major cities.
Drink Milk!! Be Active!! Be Healthy!!
