America’s State of Obesity

(Newswire.net — April 24, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — Often times when obesity is spoken about, it’s in isolation to an individual’s state but it’s important to also look at how it affects other members of their community and the nation as a whole. The United States now spends over $190.2 billion per year on obesity-related illnesses, that’s an unfathomable amount of tax payer dollars being allocated to bandaging an issue that could be circumvented all together. It’s a shame that almost 21% of America’s annual medical spending is eaten away like this. 

“Updated August 31, 2017: According to the most recent data, adult obesity rates now exceed 35 percent in five states, 30 percent in 25 states, and 25 percent in 46 states,” discloses The State of Obesity, an advocacy group campaigning under the slogan Better Policies for a Healthier America. “West Virginia has the highest adult obesity rate at 37.7 percent and Colorado has the lowest at 22.3 percent. The adult obesity rate decreased in Kansas between 2015 and 2016, increased in Colorado, Minnesota, Washington, and West Virginia, and remained stable in the rest of states.” 

There’s a clear and simple way to curtail obesity if people were really serious about their health and the health of America’s economy, the solution lies within the lifestyle people choice to live. Being disciplined enough to eat right and exercise regularly is all it takes to avoid obesity, even if one doesn’t have sufficient time to properly commit to a workout routine, there is dieting to control one’s weight. 

“Different methods for reducing weight using reduced calorie and fat intake combined with exercise have failed to show sustained long-term effects,” explains the U.S. National Library of Medicine research paper entitled Long-term effects of a ketogenic diet in obese patients. “Recent studies from various laboratories, including our own, have shown that a high fat diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (ketogenic diet) is quite effective in reducing body weight and the risk factors for various chronic diseases. The present study shows the beneficial effects of a long-term ketogenic diet.” 

Science has weighed in on the matter and concluded that the ketogenic diet is the best dietary method to induce and maintain the burning of body fat naturally. Ketosis is the name of the process behind the chemistry of the ketogenic diet plan and most interesting of all is that exercise is not imperative for results to be seen. 

The “keto” in a ketogenic diet comes from the fact that it makes the body produce small fuel molecules called “ketones”,” explains DietDoctor.com. “This is an alternative fuel for the body, used when blood sugar (glucose) is in short supply. Ketones are produced if you eat very few carbs (that are quickly broken down into blood sugar) and only moderate amounts of protein (excess protein can also be converted to blood sugar). On a ketogenic diet, your entire body switches its fuel supply to run almost entirely on fat. Insulin levels become very low, and fat burning increases dramatically. It becomes easy to access your fat stores to burn them off. This is great if you’re trying to lose weight, but there are also other less obvious benefits, such as less hunger and a steady supply of energy, keeping you alert and focused.”

Because it’s based on the body’s natural backup system, the keto diet is a safe and reliable means of shedding pounds. This high protein/low carb diet is sure to shrink waistlines and tighten thighs. Still, for extra fast results there are exogenous ketones such as the HealthyWiser™ KetoFast ™ Supplement Powder that enhances nutrient absorption and supports brain health in the process.
