Obesity is it your only risk?

With the growing concerns over the rise of obesity many people focus on the wrong risk factor which is the weight gain, now weight gain is a risk, but by ignoring some real risks, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease that lead to premature death rates which totaling 250,000 per year which can be avoided by taking action. A sad reflection is that most people who have one of these preventable diseases don’t only have one; they have more. This not only affects you; it affects your family and society with high insurance rates and longer wait times in doctors’ offices. It is a troubling situation which can be controlled by you, and the key word here is you. No government, friend, or magic pill can help. It is about you making yourself important and doing what is right.
Health benefits from exercise are seen with the minimum effort of 2-3 RPE (Rating of perceived exertion), or an easier way to gauge your effort is to ask yourself if you can talk with comfort. If so, your exertion is about 2, and you need to walk at this level for 15 minutes continually five days a week. That is the minimum for health benefits. If you up the time and effort, you can see weight loss as well. But the goal here is to point out the health benefits, not weight loss. You can even improve your health benefits by changing your diet to eating more healthful such as eating protein within the first 15 minutes of waking and eating a small meal every two and half to three hours and not eating carbs with your last meal of the day.
So today, not tomorrow, go for a walk with your friends, pet, or even your loved ones for a minimum of 15 minutes five to seven days a week.
