Obesity is starting to take a serious toll on the life expectancy of the nation, according to this article from the U.K. Fat kids represent the first generation expected to have
shorter lives than their parents.
That's because obesity causes heart disease, diabetes, and overall stagnation that fosters cancer. And obesity, in turn, is caused by eating metabolic disruptors like refined sugar, hydrogenated oils, saturated fats and chemical additives.
Obesity is being called an epidemic, both in the U.K. and the USA. Nearly 2/3rds of the U.S. population is overweight, and you'd have to be crazy to think it's all genetic, since our ancestors didn't seem to have this problem.
In fact, it's caused by our foods. Eat the wrong kinds of foods and you'll get
fat. Eat the right kinds, like olive
oil, raw vegetables, whole grains and very little animal fat, and you'll get thinner.
Of course, you have to combine it with a physical fitness program of some kind, otherwise you'll just get fatter on healthy foods. But if you really want to tackle
obesity, you have to read about Hoodia gordonii and its amazing ability to turn off the human
appetite.
Because getting thin requires you to reduce your caloric intake, and if you can turn off your hunger, you'll reduce your
eating automatically. Check out the information on Hoodia, a succulent that turns off appetite.
