Obesity is a world-wide problem. Even the nations that never before had to worry about obesity, such as China, Japan and even Korea, are now seeing an epidemic. An increasing waistline is a problem virtually everyone shares. Is the human race destined to be overweight? If not, what is causing this strange occurence? There answer is really just inadequate nutrition. Nutrition is something that we are severely lacking when it comes to what we eat, how much we eat and when we eat.Our ever-expanding girth should come as no surprise when fast food restaurants spring-up like weeds, individual serving sizes can feed at least two people and food quality has decreased. Nevertheless, there's an answer and it lies in nutritional awareness.
Food Is Our Energy Source
Today we keep our focus on food and it's taste, as well as the quantity of it we eat, and we often overlook the basic fact that food is just our fuel. Food gives us the energy we need to get through our days. When our bodies have an overabundance of food, it is stored as fat. Fat isn't our body's way of getting back at us or its way of being spiteful, our body's are merely acting as they were designed to do. Fat provides heat when we're cold, it provides insulation to our bones and internal organs and even our muscles and it is a way of preventing starvation. When we eat too much, and we don't burn off those calories with exercise or everyday activities, the excess gets turned into fat. With so much food we consume nowadays, our fat is increasing at a quickening pace.
Know Thy Enemy
Fat does not appear out of thin air, weight gain is something that we gain slowly over time if we are not careful. They say that knowledge is power, but that is only true if you use it. Eating healthy, taking nutrition supplements and exercising is the best way to combat fat. Know your enemy and you will be able to overcome them. Don't stop gaining knowledge and use what you learn and you will be a winner at whatever you do.
