Why Obesity Has Risen So Much in the Last 40 Years and The Health Problems It Causes

The obesity rate in America is going up rapidly and is a thing that has many doctors very concerned. The medical community predicts some states will have a rate of half of their residents being technically obese by the year 2011. This was never an issue 4 decades ago and many of our society lifestyle changes are to blame for this highly rising obesity rate going up. Obesity creates a lot of issues such as heart attacks, diabetes, hip and Rockford knee pain, hypertension and high cholesterol. The lack of physical movement and increase in being sedentary is also causing new health problems such as Rockford carpal tunnel syndrome from typing at a computer all day, high BMI factor with more fat percentage than muscle on a person, and poor posture from being hunched over the computer or lounging around on the couch all day.

The rate of obesity in America back in the 1960’s was at 13% and by the year 2000, it had risen to 31% with educated guesses of it reaching to 50% of the population in certain areas in the next few years. Being overweight, obese or morbidly obese which is over 100 pounds above your normal weight is causing a great deal of health issues in Americans. One of the largest problems has to do with the heart and diabetes. Having so much extra weight can cause a great deal of strain on your heart and if you are eating high fat foods everyday this will clog all of your arteries leading to your heart making you a high risk for a heart attack or heart disease.

Diabetes is also increased a lot due to the rise in obesity in this nation. In the past it was unusual to see a child with diabetes as a result of weight gain as it was typically a health problem that plagued overweight adults. Now, kids are being diagnosed with this adult onset kind of diabetes due to obesity. Some of the symptoms of diabetes are the constant need to urinate, dry skin, blurry eyesight, numbness and tingling in the extremities and extreme fatigue. If left untreated, you could die from diabetes.

With so many people spending all day at their computers for work or for pleasure, there are new issues that are increasing from that and being inactive. A large rise in carpal tunnel syndrome has occurred from typing at a keyboard all day long causing a strain on this part of the hands. This was not a problem back in the 60’s and 70’s and now is a very common issue. Also being fat and sedentary has caused a lot of people to have pain in their joints, particularly in their knees and hips. That extra weight is putting a lot of pressure on the joints and the lack of exercise leaves no muscle strength to help these joints to be strong.

The need to reverse] this obesity people suffering serious health issues from their unhealthy lifestyles.
