Problem #2 - Exercise:
To complicate issue further, 30 years ago people were getting exercise just in their daily routines. Today, technology has made our lives easier, but it's also made us lazier. Practically every American household has washers, dryers, TV’s with remotes, vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, and cars. To put it simply, more technology you have to make your life easier, less exercise you are going to get. Getting proper amount of exercise now costs us money and time that we feel we don't have.
How can we each do our part to combat obesity?
1. Examine your diet. Are there ways you can eat healthier? Use your NutriCounter to help you determine eating patterns.
2. Choose unprocessed foods, lean meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, eggs, whole grains.
3. If you must buy processed foods, learn to read backs of packages and food labels. Sometimes, if a package says “low-fat” that doesn’t necessarily mean healthy. Know what you are putting into your body by educating yourself.
4. Get exercise every day. Examine your schedule and make time for it.
