The problem is twofold in America: first and foremost, no one wants to hear that they need to lose weight and exercise more, they just want a quick fix. Second problem is that there's so much profit motive involved that companies are eager to hype the quick fix, especially in terms of pills that doctors can prescribe in a fifteen minute office visit after plugging your numbers into a company sponsored calculator.
Exercise moderately and eat healthier are probably the most important "preventive" means of health care. Even for conditions that aren't directly related to being overweight or lacking exercise, it can help immensely to correct those two issues.
- Spooky23 12y agoSociety drives these things. I'd love to hit he market every other day and have lots of good home cooked meals. But my wife and I work 50-60 hours, and need to have the 2 year old in bed by 8:30. That means out the door at 7, home by 5:30, dinner on the table by 6:30. I'd love to cook awesome meals and play old man basketball. When do I do that?
- Tagbert 12y agoYou might want to ask yourself why you are working so much. That is a lot of time that you could be spending on yourself and your family. Is it really necessary to work that much? Does your employer really require that or are you enabling them to take advantage of you at the cost of your health?
