While earlier this year the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that obesity in the U.S. has hit its plateau, a new study at Havard University finds this to be inaccurate. The current obesity rate is 34 percent of adults in the U.S. The study's reseachers of Havard's Program for EvolutionaryDisease say their study shows obesity will increase to 42 percent over th next 40 years.
The main point this study found is that obesity is spread through social networking. Contact with obese people influences the likelihood of becoming obese. Researchers found the average person has a 2 percent chance of becoming obese in a given year because of unhealthy diet or lack of exercise. The chance increases by .5 percent for each obese person you are in contact with. You pick up their lifestyle and eating habits, or become accepting of the weight of the people around you. The more obese friends you have , the more likely you are to become obese.
Obesity causes type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. Instead of this disturbing trend, it would be best to help your friends and family lose weight. In a given year, there is a 4 percent chance of losing weight. To lower the obesity rate, it will be crucial to actively increase this percentage. In the foreseeable future, there will be a continued need for nutritionists, personal trainers, and doctors who specialize in liposuction. Getting people eating correctly and exercising will result in the loss of weight, but perhaps not the perfect body. Liposuction can be the solution to removing those persistent extra 10 to 15 pounds and getting the body you always wanted, Contacting a qualified liposuction specialist will help to reach a healthy and satisfactory result.
