Over Weight Makes Headlines in 2014 !
It's only 4 days into the new year 2014 and I noticed that the world is becoming aware of this over weight problem ! Last night, after midnight ( 4/1/2014 ) , Obesity or over weight was a major news item .
BBC news channel told that weight problem is still on the rise ! They were saying that at least there are 1 Billion people now over weight around the world ! There is great concern about this rising issue which will have a direct bearing on the health state of people .
On the same day , I had the good fortune to get a video from Ted Talks on health matters . There I heard a wonderful inspiring and motivated talk by the Mayor of Oklahoma city . He gave a wonderful talk taking me through the over weight issues in that city and how he managed to get the people of the city to take care of the over weight problem . Within 5 years he with the support of the good people managed to turn around Oklahoma from the number one city in the USA with over weight people to a very health city now !
Now , that is leadership and moving in the right direction for a wonderful future .
As I have written before , over weight is a long term issue . We need to think long term with a lifestyle change towards having a balances living .
Gradually but surely we will be able to enjoy a healthy good lifestyle . Being creatures of habits , we have to change slowly to get into good healthy habits .
Over weight has become big business . There is money there ! So , all sorts of false , partial and truths are floating around , selling fads , diets and ideas to people to reduce weight !
As I expressed early , please be smart and understand that weight problem can be controlled .
Just be patient and take action .
A little exercise , food control and have a good feel about life and living . That will go a long way towards a good life .
That is enough for today ,
Till we meet again . Dr Dhali /Amar .
