Public Health Concern

A serious public health concern is obesity. Obesity is very common in America. This is a major concern since obesity can lead to various diseases. We are the leading country in obesity due to the lack of diet and over eating the normal serving size. I strongly believe in the saying you are what you eat. If junk and unhealthy food is what you eat well it is going to show on your body sooner or later the unnecessary fat, devastating disease and so forth. On the other hand if you eat a normal serving, eat healthy and stay active then you can prevent obesity and disease. To prevent this epidemic, it is strongly recommended to start with a healthy diet. Diet alone can help you lose a lot of weight. Most people think that eating an unhealthy diet is fine plus you can still lose weight as long as you still stay active by exercising. This is absolutely wrong! Study show that when it comes to weight loss, it is ninety percent diet and ten percent exercise.
