Obesity Rates Continue to Rise.

Aug 31, 2009 at 3:31 PM by Dr David Warman



During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. In 2008, only one state (Colorado) had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. Thirty-two states had a prevalence equal to or greater than 25%; six of these states (Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia ) had a prevalence of obesity equal to or greater than 30%. American society has become 'obesogenic,' characterized by environments that promote increased food intake, non-healthy foods, and physical inactivity. In Arizona, 1 in 4 is obese. Being overweight can become a matter of live and death. People who are overweight and obese are more likely to develop a number of potentially serious health problems. Also, the overall risk of death increases with obesity. If your holding some extra pounds Kai-Zen is here to help.
