Weight Loss Surgery in Wisconsin
The Badger State is under attack – from the packers. The “packers” we’re talking about are those of us who are packing on the pounds. According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, over 60% of the adult population here in Wisconsin overweight or obese – three out of every five grown-ups.

Times have drastically changed. As a young child, I remember going outside to play with my friends. We would run around for hours and have a great time; however, children cannot play outside like this anymore. It is simply not as safe.

Fat and Childhood Obesity Can Both Lead to Diabetes
The health risks of fat should be seriously considered. Parents often worry about playground predators and schoolyard bullies, but nutrition and exercise appears to fall short on a long list of concerns. Most children want to be thinner because they think that fat is unattractive. Since there are a lot of health problems that are usually caused by fat, those problems should be the focus of becoming thinner.

Is Obesity in America as Bad as They Say
Generally speaking, obesity is caused by consuming more calories than your body needs on a day to day basis over a period of time. A lot of fast food and convenience foods these days are very high in fat and sugar content to make them tasty but unfortunately this also means they are high in calories. Together with the fact that most people do not take sufficient exercise this all contributes to obesity occurring.

Counteracting Obesity-Induced Incontinence And Prolapse With Kegel And Pelvic Floor Exercises
Incontinence and prolapse are two of the major problems resulting from being obese.Putting on weight happens in two ways. Subcutaneous fat is deposited under the skin and visceral fat is laid down around your internal organs. When a person is overweight, a large amount of space in the abdominal cavity is taken up by excess fatty tissue.These internal fat deposits cause an increase in intra-abdominal pressure and, multiplied by the effects of gravity, it all presses downwards, weakening the layer of muscle tissue that forms the pelvic floor.Also known as the pelvic diaphragm, this is a hammock of muscles that runs from the spine, between the legs to the pubic bone and transversely across to each sitting bone.It surrounds each of the three

Escape From Obesity
If you or your obese child feels imprisoned by obesity now is the time to escape from obesity. Child obesity has received much attention over the past few decades because it is the most common nutritional disorder among children and teens in the United States. The problem is children don't have much control over their environment which means it starts with the parents. When parents have negative attitudes towards food and exercise their children are exposed to the same negative attitudes. Parents are the leaders and need to set the example. Children are the followers and since they have little control over their environment they have to accept the offerings. In order to escape from obesity you need a well executed plan. It all starts with

Bmi - a Possible Indicator of Heart Disease Due to High Cholesterol
According to medical scientists, BMI, which stands for Body Mass Index, is a possible indicator of developing a series of conditions such as excessive cholesterol levels, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes mellitus and kidney disease. The Body Mass Index calculates the ratio between one's height (and physical constitution) and weight, also taking in consideration one's gender and age. An abnormally high BMI (characteristic to overweight and obese people) points to serious health risks at a certain stage in life. While some persons with abnormally high BMI develop cholesterol problems and heart disease at more advanced ages (usually over the age of 40), others may be confronted with serious health problems by the age of

Childhood Obesity

The Importance Of Bmi Calculation And Interpretation:
Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the main terms which help us to value our weight. It spread throughout the world for finding whether a person is in good health or obese and it also helps to determine how much fat our body contain.

As the BMI exceed 25 the risk of disease follow BMI but when the BMI exceeds 30 the risk of disease and death goes up severely. Here are some examples for you: A standard female in America is healthy if she is 64 inches tall and her weight is between 110 and 140 pounds. She is said to be fat if she touches between 145 and 173 pounds. And obese if she is more

The two classifications seem to be very obvious, something that blames the chemicals
Why is Childhood Obesity Increasing?
Almost two thirds of Americans are considered overweight or obese. Some feel that it has reached epidemic proportions here and around the world. The most concerning part of this is that 15% of children in this country are considered to be overweight. It was only a few short decades ago that this figure stood at 4%.

Parents Cause Obesity!
Not that long ago people who became obese were thought to be victims of bad genes, which caused them to pack on the pounds. But a recent scientific discovery suggests destiny may be reversed through good nutrition in early childhood. The scientists from a University in New Zealand the Liggins Institute and their colleagues in the United Kingdom are examining how a mother's diet in pregnancy can determine if a baby will become obese in adulthood and suffer heart disease and diabetes. The Government is deeply concerned about the UK's rapidly rising rate of obesity and the predicted increase in diabetes that this will fuel. More than 30 per cent of adults are obese, double the rate 30 years ago, and a further 45 per cent are overweight. The
Hazards of Obesity: Part One
HAZARDS OF OBESITY: part one People in many countries are still not fully aware of the hazards associated with obesity. Detailed information about these hazards is given here with a view to focusing attention on their dreadfulness. No doctor has ever filled the “cause of death” column in any death certificate with the remarks “obesity”.

Obesity, though not directly responsible for causing death, certainly causes many such dangerous diseases which in turn cause premature passing away of a person. This nexus between obesity and various grave diseases has been conclusively established through extensive

How To Lose Over 75 Pounds Without Obesity Surgery-Stop Eating Dairy Products-The 2nd Key!
I can still remember the day I hit 294 pounds back in January 2010. In fact, the needle on the scale was a little over but I couldn't bend low enough to see the exact number. But 294 was close enough for me and it was like a slap in the face.
Eating enough food to hit 294 pounds isn't easy. It took a lot of emotional eating and eating the wrong foods coupled with quitting to smoke to get there.
My first key was getting rid of all the processed food in the house and not buying anymore.
My second key was cutting out as much as the dairy products I eat as I could. And actually, dairy products are processed foods but because there are so many and they are so harmful to anyone, I consider dairy product as their own group.

Endangered Species: The Disappearance Of Youth From The Wilderness
Over the past 20 years our children have become increasingly alienated from the natural world. They have abandoned our open spaces and wilderness where unstructured imaginative play has existed for as long as the human species. Youthful expeditions that discovered shortcuts to school and secret hiding places are being eradicated by societal fears and impending litigation. Days spent building forts in the woods and swimming in ponds are quickly fading from our social history. At best, the constricting radius children are allowed to travel around their homes limits them to the trusted patches of grass and concrete in the front yard.

Obesity May Cost US Boomer Babies $1 Trillion in Lifetime Earnings
Born between 1982 and 1993, the kids of the Baby Boomers are sometimes also referred to as the Millennial generation, Generation Y, Net Generation, or Echo-Boomers.
This generation has fully embraced social networking (e.g. Facebook) and file sharing (e.g. Napster) and spends an average of 3.5 hours a day online. They have also been noted to live longer with and be more dependent on their parents while at the same time valuing flexibility and independence.
Importantly perhaps, up to one in three members of this generation in one third of the US States is now clinically obese.
As this generation enters the workforce, how will the obesity epidemic impact their economic health and expected earnings?

Adolescent Obesity
Obese adults more often than not withdrew themselves from social groups for fear of ridicule. They developed a low self-esteem because being fat or obese is considered unattractive. They are often the source of jokes among their peers. The longer they experience alienation from their age group the more they succumb to depression, which may pose another health problem. Being fat is not socially bad after all, but if this line of thinking should be supported, many adults will be suffering from depression and other health problems.
One contributing factor to the rising number of obese adults is the media. Adults are bombarded with so many information regarding lifestyle food. Quick service restaurants are mushrooming in highly urbanized

Automatic Pet Feeders Can Stop Pet Obesity
Pet Obesity is a growing concern according to a report which ranks the healthiest U.S. cities for cats and dogs based on 30 criteria, including weight, preventative care, air quality and pet-friendly legislation. As in humans, pet obesity is dangerous and unhealthy. It can lead to liver disease, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, joint, and even back problems. People who love their pets dearly don't realize that they could be actually slowly killing their pets by overfeeding them.
The biggest contributor to pet obesity is overeating. Most pets will eat whatever is put before them because it is their natural instinct. For example, dogs are natural scavengers that think every meal could be their last so they eat whenever food is

Obesity and weight loss diets
If you are suffering from obesity then the first thing you need to do instead of reading all these articles on the net is to first reach out to your doctor/physician for help.

The majority of health problems that we have nowadays are due to our eating habits and also tobacco,alcohol and lack of proper exercise. Therefore, we must let the medical experts do an analysis and find the root cause of obesity and then we must proceed with changing diet
