Weird question huh? I mean of course you know obesity is bad – even being moderately overweight increases your risk of contracting numerous health concerns.
Your chances of dying from a heart attack or stroke sky rocket as do your odds of developing other serious – even life threatening health issues.
Not to mention the amount of extra poundage you carry around your mid section directly influences your body’s ability to perform physical functions and maintain a healthy functioning immune system.
So most of us try to do what we can to stay in the best shape reasonably possible. And the ones that don’t – well that’s their problem right?
Live and let live that’s always been their advice. But what are we to do as a society when the obese party turns out to be an 8 year old boy who at this tender age already tips the scales at over 217 pounds?
Now I don’t really want to turn this into a political discussion – or a debate on the powers the state has over our personal decisions. But it does beg the question – are any of us guilty of the same kind of abuse.
And I’m not just talking about the care you take in molding your own children’s or even your grandchildren’s health habits. I’m worried you might be abusing yourself.
A Healthy Diet and regular exercise are two of the most critical factors in maintaining a lean healthy physique, a tireless circulatory system,and as we get a little older the two become a crucial factor in our ability to perform physical functions
Not to mention a proper diet combined with regular exercise is the surest path to a 100 candles on your birthday cake. It’s one path I really hope you are following.
It’s Good to Know…
Obesity is defined as an excess proportion of total body fat. A person is technically considered obese when his or her total weight is 20% or more above their ideal weight.
The most common measure for obesity is the body mass index (BMI). You are considered overweight if your BMI is between 25 and 29.9 – you are considered obese if your BMI is over 30. If your BMI is 40 points of higher you are classified as “morbidly obese”.

Good Skin Care Tips
Achieving the smooth and flawless skin seems impossible to most of us. Many of us have been misled by beauty product advertisements and have the perception that good skin care means we need to spend lots of money on the latest wrinkle reducing, complexion clearing lotions and potions. The truth is good skin care does not have to be expensive, or daunting.
Here are some of the basic good skin care tips to help you achieve the perfect skin that every person can dream of:
Balanced Diet
One of the keys to good skin care is a balanced diet. Your skin reflects the general health of your body, and nutrient deficiency will definitely affect your complexion. A lack of protein can manifest in a dull and dry complexion; shortage of vitamin C may result in dullness and easy bruising; lacking of vitamin A can cause dry skin and disruption in cellular turn-over. A deficiency in iron can produce pale complexion, and a vitamin B deficiency may lead to breakout, pallor and cracks at the corner of the mouth.
Regular Exercise
Another important aspect of good skin care is regular exercise. During an exercise, blood circulation is boosted and oxygen is delivered to every cell in our body which allow nutrients to be absorbed quicker. This creates a short term effect that reflects glowing complexion. Besides, exercising helps to improve skin elasticity and encourage new cell growth.
Enough Rest and Sleep
Sleeping is important for good skin care. As you sleep, the body rests and repairs the damage done during the day by producing new cells or healing the damaged ones. Sleep deprived people have lower levels of growth hormone that influences specific skin-growth factors like collagen and keratin production. Nobody can deny sleeping is an important factor for good skin care as most of us have experienced what lack of sleep can do to our eyes and complexion.
