Obesity is not just dangerous to one’s health, but it can be quite expensive. Declared as a nation’s epidemic, approximately one third of Americans are classified as overweight. With this, heart attack, stroke and type 2 diabetes continue to rise, as do medical and insurance costs. Although obesity may be categorized by some as simply overeating and not having the willpower to resist fatty, sugary foods, this alone is not always the root of the problem. Many factors contribute to this growing epidemic, including the overabundance and availability of processed foods and unhealthy food choices, lack of exercise, increased medication usage and family behaviors.
Diet Doc continues to fight the battle of the bulge and has designed prescription hormone diet plans that have helped thousands fight this costly, and sometimes fatal, epidemic while promoting better health and longevity with less weight related disease and conditions. Epidemic is defined as a widespread outbreak of a condition where many people are infected at the same time. As more children eat less healthy foods and engage in sedentary activities rather than outdoor play, this epidemic is even affecting America’s youth.
