Health, medical, and fitness topics made simple!

Are you confused by the overwhelming information that periodicals and the internet brings to the health industry? Learn the basics of confusing medical and health issues with simple articles that make even the most complex issues easy to understand.

Your health is the most important thing in your life - without it you have nothing else! My articles make staying informed fun and stressless.

Fitness: Diet and Exercise

The following articles cover consumer topics such as diet and nutrition (for weight loss and health), fitness and exercise, obesity and related issues, and other related topics.

Facts about obesity in American children: Most Americans and parents will agree that child obesity rates are on the rise, but does anyone really understand the facts behind this new national epidemic?
Facts about obesity in American adults: Americans are vaguely aware there is an obesity epidemic, but how many know the true facts about adult obesity in the United States?
Gender differences in weight loss: Just as men and women gain weight differently, and store it in different places, they lose it differently.
Sweet treats for 100 calories or less: For dieters, a sweet tooth has the potential to be a dangerous thing. Luckily, there are many great sweet treats available for under 100 calories.
The health benefits of losing weight: Most people would agree that maintaining a healthy weight is beneficial to their health, but would you guess that just losing 5-10 pounds could cut your risk of many diseases by 25%, 35%, or even 50% or more?
How to prevent overeating: Overeating is simply the process of eating past the point of necessity, and it can happen to anyone.
How many calories should you eat?: Calorie intake is the delicate game of balance dieters play while trying to eat enough to be healthy and satisfied, while not eating so much as to gain weight.

I enjoyed this lens, Kimberly. Diet and exercise are central to good health in more ways than just obesity. But then, obesity increases risks of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer...on and on, and fat holds toxins.

Antioxidants are important dietary components for health too, which is why I have a recent lens on them - What Are Antioxidants. I have seen in many the ravages that "eating well" but with improper nutrition, nutritional balance, and exercise neglect can cause... and it's deadly!

I think the obesity epidemic is a cross-generational problem. Ultimately, it's parents who help their children establish patterns of eating. If parents don't know any better, or are too busy - you have a problem!
