Sign Me Up For Obesity or Healthy Please

Chances are you already signed up for the obesity course and you didn’t even know it. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention ran a national health and nutrition study and found that more than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7 percent) are obese and almost 19 percent of youth are obese. One of the biggest reasons weight gain has become such a problem is the fact that many people don’t even recognize what obesity is any more. According to a study performed in the North Carolina Children’s Hospital, researchers confirmed previous reports that parents of overweight or obese children do not recognize their child has a weight problem, because being overweight is the new normal.
