An Overweight Nation
It may come as a surprise that about 127 million adults in the U.S. are overweight, 60 million obese, and 9 million severely obese, resulting in $30 billion a year that is spent in efforts to lose or control body weight.
An estimated 60% of health ailments for non-smokers are from being over-weight. Being overweight or obese can cause many health problems, including the following:
* Hypertension (high blood pressure)
* Osteoarthritis (a degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint)
* Type 2 diabetes
* Coronary heart disease
* Stroke
* Gallbladder disease
* Sleep apnea and respiratory problems
* Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)
Since most Americans have negative images of dieting and exercise, it can be helpful to use supplements like Akavar 20/50 and vitamins to help in the weight loss battle. Consult with a nutritionist and personal trainer to get started on your path to better health and a longer, fuller life!
