It’s Your Call . . .

There was a Letter to the Editor in the local paper recently responding to an earlier letter that urged people to take responsibility for their eating and health choices. (Sound familiar?) The responding lady was saying she didn’t want anyone – including the Government – telling her what her family should eat or how they should live their lives.

That attitude concerns me when people don’t take a hard look at the consequences of their actions. We’re all concerned with the escalating costs of government at all levels and the rising cost of living in general. Each year the obesity epidemic costs the nation more than $117 billion in medical costs and lost productivity. We’re talking about 68% of the U.S. population who are overweight or obese.

What really caught my eye was a report from Sweden that stated men who are obese at age 20 have already taken years off their lives – eight years to be exact. Researchers tracked the military records of 5,000 men, starting at age 20 and going up to age 80. They found that most men who were obese at 20 were apt to be plagued by excess weight for the rest of their lives.

This is why I have spent so much time talking about the problems of obesity, especially in young people. Now is the time to take action and realize that your health is your responsibility if you truly care about living a long and healthy life.
