Getting in great physical form and staying there is one of the biggest health issues facing Americans today. Not only is it difficult to know exactly how to get fit, but studies have shown that the majority of people that lose weight just to end up gaining it back. Obesity is the American health crises that millions of families are affected by every single day, and the problem just keeps growing. However, instead of looking towards individual people, we should be looking towards what societal implications have lead to this increase in obesity and what we can do about it as people, and as we try to reconstruct the way we think about the world and our place in it.
The first thing that we should realize as a nation is the that the problem of obesity is a national one, not an individual one. The way in which America has changed, and the quickness with which it has changed had lead to an overconsumption of more “bad calories” and less physical activity. Paralleling the rise of processed food has been the rise of more technology both in our work and our home lives, which has lead to many people leading much more sedentary lifestyles than they did even ten years ago. This is a problem for many reasons, but with busy sedentary lifestyles, comes worse food choices, and less concentration on physical health. All these things combined means that those in the modern era will suffer more from obesity than others.
Now that we have an idea of why America has an obesity problem, it’s time to look at how to change it. Although we have a mass of information on a daily basis about nutrition and fitness, it goes through deaf ears for many people who struggle getting started, and those that struggle getting to a place that they want to be. If you’re someone who wants to make sure that you get fit and stay there, it’s important to think about the way that you’re living your daily life. It’s important to look at the way fit people live their lives and find out ways that you can make changes in your everyday life, instead of relying on short-term solutions so that you can get the most out of your fitness, and that you stay fit for longer.
When studies have looked at the differences between fit people and unfit people, the main differences is that fit people have different habits and everyday lifestyles. In most cases, people that are fit have lifestyles that concentrate on physical activity, and those with a high level of physical fitness concentrate on having interests that include physical activity, and some even make their jobs and more the kind that gives you physical exercise on a daily basis. Although we can’t all change our careers on a dime, it’s important to make sure that you are involved in some sort of physical activity that you’re passionate about.
