Obesity statistics and consequences: Alarming. A simple and straightforward cure: Prevention!
Let's face the facts:
- An obese condition (where Body Mass Index checks out well above normal levels) can be a killer.
- Obesity has reached an epidemic level in the United States.
- In some areas, more than 30% of the population is overweight or obese.
- Obesity can accelerate heart disease, diabetes, liver problems, joint issues and many more.
- All of this can be reversed and prevented!
Being obese is not about appearance—it's about health!
To curb this epidemic, Major Health Partners recommends three easy-to-implement steps. Parents and caregivers can use them immediately – and they start you on the track to a healthy life style.
We call them the Major Easy 3. Look to your left and see how simple they are. If you do nothing else, rigorously using these three steps will help prevent obesity.
Together with these three steps (drink milk with meals, offer water for refreshment, and eat meals and snacks at the family table), the Major Easy 3 program can be combined or adapted for use with other programs. (For lactose-intolerant children, appropriate non-sweetened substitute beverages can be used).
Medical professionals can easily insert the Major Easy 3 program into a prescribed treatment plan or initiate critical family lifestyle changes. More details about this can be found here.
