Obesity Is The Main Problem All Over The World

Obesity is becoming a major problem due to many causes and because of that people are struggling with obesity these days. Obesity in America is one of the major public health concern right now. Especially when Fast food now is increasing in bad way and it’s easily these days to find fast food near you or away from you. Things is different right with all these changes been made to our society. The good side of that change comes with the bad side. The problem is people are inventing technology that makes the life easier and make the person lazier, such as the computers, tablets and etc. Lacks of healthy lifestyle, people are changing healthy diet with unhealthy ones, and Obesity affects our health by having disease,

One of the most important health issues in the nation today is obesity, especially among children. The statistics are staggering. According to the Center for Disease Control, “Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure…In a population-based sample of 5-17-year-olds, 70% of obese youth had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease.” Since public administrative laws play a substantial role in obesity, public administration laws must be toughened in order to safeguard the public from becoming obese.

For example, King Henry VIII was crowned king and after the end of Roman Catholicism and also the war which came soon after that, it is said that King Henry was obese because he enjoyed lust, which refers to his six wives. In the ancient times, it was believed that obesity would cause serious illness and would shorten your lifespan. Hindu physicians, Sushurt and Charak, were among the first to relate diabetes and heart disease to obesity. Doctors recommended that women be “plumped up” before they would get pregnant to prepare them to be able to give the child everything while in the womb. Near the 17th century, diet and disease became more known as obesity spread throughout the world. Although obesity had been around for many centuries, a man named, Dr. Tobias Venner, was the first man to use the word ‘obesity’ in 1650. During the 17th century, doctors tried to come up with how to reverse obesity or how to prevent obesity completely, sadly they were still unclear. Continuing even into the 17th century, big bellies were still a sign of wealth. Entering the 18th century, physicians stated that a vegetarian diet was the only way to cure obesity. While in 18th century didn’t help the problem of obesity at all, the 19th century was just the opposite. A doctor named, William Wadd, finally connected that over eating at the table was the cause of this serious health problem. In the 20th

Obesity is a prevalent public health epidemic that we face today. Billions of dollars in the United States alone are being spent yearly to cover medical treatment for ailments triggered by this disease (Lee, Sheer, Lopez and Rosenbaum 2010). According to Public health Reports, federal and state governments currently are accountable for at least half of the medical expenses encountered from one being overweight and obese (Lee et al., 2010). Medicaid has the highest popularity of obese customers when compared to Medicare, private insurances, or even those uninsured. In 2004 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) acknowledged obesity as a medical condition. Children receiving Medicaid benefits are covered by the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) program (Lee et al., 2010). This program covers health assessments from birth to age 21. Obese children under the (EPSDT) are eligible to receive free nutritional and behavioral education regarding this disease. Evidence based guidelines have proven that regular screenings and early intervention can have a great impact on decreasing childhood obesity. Unfortunately, not all states enforce these guidelines and this is where children often fall into the cracks. It is still an individual’s choice to follow through.

Obesity is an epidemic that affects individuals worldwide. Unfortunately, more children are facing issues with obesity than ever before, leading to major health issues including diabetes, hypertension, and elevated cholesterol. The CDC website defines childhood obesity as a “BMI (body mass index) at or above the 95th percentile for children and teens of the same age and sex”("Defining Childhood Obesity," 2015, p. 1). It is important that parents understand that how the health of their child can affect the rest of their lives. The President-Elect of the American Academy of Pediatrics states that “to recognize obesity as a disease does help because it allows us to determine the chronic disease model and address obesity with community-level interventions, healthy interventions, and family interventions”(Devereaux, 2014, p. 288). This paper will examine an online website that is dedicated to the well-being and overall health of children. It will also analyze the mission, usability, and credibility of the online resource.

Today nearly 60% of America 's population is overweight, a statistic that 's only growing. More and more children are abandoning traditional forms of exercise for video games, television and other forms of a rapidly expanding simulated reality. Too many Americans today are more concerned with social media and popular culture than what 's going on in their neighborhoods and in the country we all call home. People are losing touch with their own realities. Furthering this argument of a lost touch with reality comes the notion and expectation things come easily and anything requiring hard work or discipline is voided unnecessary, which I believe is a side-effect of technology. The obesity epidemic has drawn considerable attention from policymakers, and while new policy initiatives to address the issue are already underway, new policy initiatives are not enough and are likely going to overlook the simple truth. Technology is a major culprit behind this nation’s obesity epidemic. Cell phones, video games and 600 television channels are making kids gain weight, and there is no easy way to solve the issue, other than to get off your couch, pick up a salad instead of a slice of pizza and get active.

A condition of modern times, obesity is said to be the greatest epidemic currently facing humanity (WHO, 2003; Hill, 2007). Obesity is one of the most frequent causes of preventable death in developed nations (Bauer et al., 2014), with the United States being home to over 150 million overweight or obese individuals – 65% of the adult population (Flegel, 2002; US Census Bureau, 2010). Obesity is often caused by a mismatch between energy intake and usage, thus it is frequently seen in those who live a sedentary lifestyle (Hu, 2003), such as the patient in this scenario. Obesity is now a major public health concern and has recently been voted by the American Medical Association to be classified as a ‘disease’ (Dailey, 2013). Indeed, the cost of obesity to the United Kingdom’s economy was estimated to be £15.8 billion, with £4.2 billion in direct costs to the National Health Service (Public Health England, 2007).

Obesity in adults and children is at out of control. Obesity is a huge social problem. We are living in the age of modern living. We are spoiled with superior technology, luxury, excessive money and we are trending toward obesity. The growing number of cases of obesity has made it a social problem.

This state of obesity tends to be known by almost every person. It has been approximated that two thirds of adults from America are always obese or overweight at any given time and this applies to 25% of children from America. When an individual become overweight, there are high chances of the person to be being attacked by heart diseases, diabetes as well as other many life- threatening ailments. It has become more serious, that it has even been named as number one health problem in U.S by National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“The epidemic of obesity is considered the biggest global health problem of this generation” (Thom & Lean, 2017). With an increasing obese population comes the need for effective dietary approaches to promote weight loss and healthy lifestyles among individuals. Intermitting Fasting (IF) is an increasing popular diet that has sweeped the nation. Intermitting fasting is a dietary approach where individuals maintain a certain eating pattern through cycling between periods of eating and fasting. There are many ways that a person can approach this diet. One of the most popular approaches is known as 16/8. This is where an individual’s eats for 8 hours out of the day and fast for the reminder 16 hours. As crazy as this may sound, many

Obesity is a global problem. Obesity is becoming common, costly, and deadly. Nearly 70% of Americans are overweight or obese. Kansas is the 13th most overweight state in the country. “More than a third of adult residents designated as obese” (Dunn, 2015). The obesity rate in the 45 states that the research was conducted in did not change, but the rate in Kansas raised. “The Kansas obesity rate has risen every year since the government started collecting data in 1995; back then the obesity rate sat at 13.5 percent.”(Dunn, 2015). In Kansas, men have a higher obesity rate than women. Also, black people have a higher obesity rate than Latinos and white people . Middle-aged Kansas residents are the highest in the group amongst all the age

Obesity is a major public health and economic problem within populations. The complex interactions between environment, individual factors and genetic variability have escalated the issue to the top of policy and programme agendas worldwide, with prevention of childhood obesity providing a particularly compelling mandate for action.1, 2 There is an undisputed understanding that this epidemic is in need of urgent action that is both comprehensive and sustainable. Often upstream legislative and funding decisions are subject to socio-political and economic influences and scrutiny; a framework for defining their evidence base is essential.3

Over the years, America has become an obese nation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) affirms that obesity is the number one health problem of the 21st century. Two-thirds of states in America have adult obesity rates about 25% (Snaric, 2010). There are many factors that contribute to Americas obesity including, socioeconomics, fast food, and emotional influences.

Obesity is an emerging problem around the world and specifically a rising problem in adolescence. Multiple factors can cause obesity, such as poor nutrition, lack of physical activity, genetic factors, and environmental influences. Obesity in most cases is preventable and schools can help solve the obesity problem by implementing health education and showing the importance of physical education.

When obesity is one of the significant public health problems in the world, several social factors are being considered shaping the problem of obesity. New technologies such as televisions, cars and computers that decrease the mobility of a person; development of fast food and drinks that are high in fat and sugar which clearly increase the possibility of people getting fatter.
