"Looking out the window, we see a threatening storm - obesity - that will, if unchecked, have a negative effect on life expectancy. Despite widespread knowledge about how to reduce the severity of the problem, observed trends continue to worsen. These trends threaten to diminish the health and life expectancy of current and future generations.
The 20th century saw great advances in sanitation, control of infectious diseases, childbirth, and trauma care that translated into an unprecedented increase in average lifespan. Today however, we are facing a health challenge that threatens to reverse this upward trend: the growing epidemic of obesity. Diabetes, depression, heart problems, hypertension, osteoarthritis, dyslipidemia, stroke, insomnia, gallbladder disease, some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon) - to avoid these modern killers, one should seriously consider a regular workout regime.
In Ireland where I live, at least 20% of adolescents suffer from major depression. They are being drugged out of their gorge on drugs that are not helpful. 200,000 - 300,000 are diagnosed as type 2 diabetics, and it is believed that these figures are actually an underestimation. We have welcomed the great American lifestyle with open arms but the consequences are a lifestyle that is slowly killing us. I would say that the biggest problem we face is laziness and inertia.
Recently I've been really interested in and have been checking out ways to combat obesity. I'm not obese, but I do need to shed some pounds and sculpture by body. I joined a gym and enjoy spending as much time as possible there. You will know that are two types of exercise you can do - aerobic and anaerobic. Jogging, walking, cycling, swimming - these are types of exercises improve oxygen consumption by the body and are performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time. This is ok for burning fat. But its aerobic exercise - sprinting, weight lifting etc. - that actually increase muscle, which in turn burns fat and tones the body on its own. Anaerobic exercises are intense enough to trigger anaerobic metabolism and actually, a little anaerobic exercise goes a long way.
