For the first time in human history, the number of overweight people rivals the number of underweight people, according to a report from the Worldwatch Institute, a Washington, DC-based research organization.
The real victims? Our children.
In the past 30 years alone, obesity in American children has more than doubled. The chronic health problems associated with obesity have been much reported in recent years, and for children, these problems are all the more profound. More children are being diagnosed with adult conditions such as sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, and nearly half of these children will carry the burden of their weight into adulthood.
For some children, the causes of obesity are genetically linked, but for many others, the causes are environmental. Lifestyle changes can have a profound impact on this debilitating condition.
