Americans love to eat anything crazy. If a meal that has triple-wrapped bacon hot-dog fried in panko crumbs stuffed cheese that is filled with diabetes, Americans would devour it. Unhealthy foods have been apart of the American diet as a commonality, more than healthy foods should be. Unhealthy junk foods consist of unnecessary fats, oils, sugars, high-fructose corn syrup, MSG, and many more. Healthy foods have been increasingly disappearing from our restaurants every second. However, young people need a healthy diet to live a long and fulfilling life from self-inflicting diseases. Authors like Jane E. Brody, Mark Bittman, Alice Waters, and Katrina Heron all advocate for healthy foods. Jane E. Brody in “Attacking the Obesity Epidemic by First Figuring Out Its Cause” describes the cause of the obesity epidemic and proposes many solutions against it. Alice Waters and Katrina Heron in “No Lunch Left Behind” discuss the accessible healthy foods students are in dire need of instead of the processed trash. Mark Bittman in “Bad Food? Tax it, and Subsidize Vegetables” elaborates on the many benefits from taxing “bad food” and subsidizing vegetables such as reducing healthcare costs, improving health, and many more. All of these authors fight for a healthy American diet. As a fellow human being, this epidemic must be solved and it starts with youth. Many schools’ lunches and available snacks/foods are more unhealthy than to be nutritional. However, schools do try to combat junk food. Based on school data, surveys, and nationwide statistics, unhealthy foods should be taxed and healthy, natural foods should be subsidized and be more available for schools and eventually all people for a healthier lifestyle.

Obesity is a very serious subject that a lot of people take lightly, especially us as Americans. America is the most obese country in the world. Statistics show that 300,000 people die a day in the United States of America due to obesity. This clearly shows that we have a serious problem that is massively underestimated. Obesity is also something that countries all across the world suffer from. For example, Australia is also one of the most obese countries in the world, and 50,000 people die a year from obesity in Australia. That’s 140 people who die per day in Australia. To solve the problem of obesity the prices of junk food should be raised and the prices of healthy food should be lowered and more convenient.

Over one third of the US population suffers from obesity and overweight. According to a study reported by the NIH (National Institute of Health), more than 1 in 3 adults were considered to be overweight, and 1 in 3 adults were considered to be obese. Children are also victims to this growing epidemic, with 1 in 6 children/adolescents anywhere from 2 to 19 were considered to be obese. This is a growing problem, and it has been for the last 20 years in America.

Pound by pound, inch by inch, it slowly adds up until one day you wake up and realize you need to make a change. You try one diet after the other, lose a little of the extra weight, plateau, and begin watching the numbers climb right back to where they were before and then keep going. All that hard work wasted. It can leave you feeling defeated, frustrated, and completely alone. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Eating healthy and exercising often, the two things seen as key against fighting obesity. While these are very important, they are not the only tools in the fight against obesity. Before we can rely solely on eating healthy and daily exercise, we need to reform how the issue of obesity is being attacked. Childhood obesity has become an exponentially growing epidemic that has no evidence of stopping anytime soon. The government needs to step in and help with the fight because of food deserts, faulty advertising, and nutrition guidelines, which are all factors out of the public's control. Once we figure out these issues, the real fight can begin.

Healthy food should be accessible to everyone. If healthy food isn’t available for everyone all it’s going to do is cause more and more health problems. If we made healthy organic food the same price as cheap unhealthy food there would be a big difference in the health of our country. It’s completely unfair to make healthy food too expensive for other people to buy, which causes them to buy cheap unhealthy food, like off a dollar menu at a fast food restaurant. This issue needs to be put to an end.

Men are generally at greater risk of cardiovascular disease but that does not mean women are not affected by this deadly disease as well. This topic sparked an interest in me because women should be aware and learn about the risk factors for developing heart disease. Many women are not well informed or proactive in preventing or controlling cardiovascular diseases that may arise in the future due to the choices of today. People have little to no control over some risk factors such as family history and age that can affect women and it is crucial to have precaution before it becomes a problem. There are numerous of ways to diminish the chances but many women do not have access or the correct resources to learn about them. For those who already have a cardiovascular disease, it may be hard to adjust to ways of controlling it or may not know how to properly control it yet. Maybe the way the person is controlling it is not the best option for them and should seek for proper guidance. The problem is really what or where can these women find the proper guidance that they desire, or what exactly is the proper guidance for them. Prevention and control of cardiovascular disease among women should be talked about more. It is important to have the knowledge and protect ourselves from something that can be prevented if we follow the right steps to reduce our chances of cardiovascular disease.

Gorgeous color with full-bodied taste and texture, this combination relies on the slow roasting process to combine flavors that taste so rich it will leave you wondering if it is really healthy.

When something is detrimental to our health, we strive to avoid it whenever possible to extend our lives. We know that exposure to known cancer causing agents such as asbestos and lead paint is harmful; therefore, we do not expose ourselves to the risk and we certainly do not eat it. This seems simple; however, what do we do when that harmful vice is food? We cannot stop eating; instead, we must closely examine what we are putting into our bodies. When faced with the choice of a burger or grilled vegetables, most would choose the burger. These choices have lead us down a path littered with food related diseases, illnesses and rising healthcare costs. The state of Americans health is declining due to increasing obesity, diabetes and

The audience of this assignment are my professor, William Johnson, and my online class of students. My paper is going to be the summarizing, and analyzing of the Core Topic ‘ WEIGHT LOSS DIETS: ARE THEY ALL THE SAME? The purpose of my paper is going to be the topic of weight loss diets, and if they are all the same thing, or are they different? Diets are a huge deal in America, everyone is willing to try out the new diet fads, especially the ones who think that a diet will give them the perfect body handed to them if they try them out, but the thing is that all diets don’t work the same for every person due to everyone’s bodies being different.

Exercise and eating healthy are two of the most important things you need to do to take care of your body properly. Both exercise, and eating healthy, have many advantages and benefits. They help with multiple things needed throughout your life. These things include growing physically, mentally, and if you are religious, spiritually as well.

It is no secret that in today’s world most people are unhappy with their physical appearance. Women, particularly, struggle with their perception of overweight, unproportioned bodies. Meanwhile, icons such as Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Eva Longoria, and Kim Kardashian flaunt bodies of perfection that every woman dreams of having. Women become obsessed and determined to put themselves through tough weight loss regime to achieve the hot, sexy, beach body look of these celebrities. That is not necessarily a negative because weight loss provides empowering and rewarding outcomes for people’s lives, but there are several different options that people have when it comes to losing weight. For example, liposuction or eating healthy and exercising. It should be no surprise that liposuction is becoming more and more of an acceptable way to lose the extra pounds, but it’s not the best alternative to diet and exercise. When debating on either getting costly liposuction or committing to a rigorous healthy eating and exercise routine, it becomes evident that healthy eating and exercise boast far more benefits; those desiring a Jennifer Lopez beach body should stick to dieting and exercise and should avoid going under the knife to obtain the best overall results.

Everybody sees it everywhere. “Lose 60 pounds in 6 weeks!” “Skinny is what’s in!” “Detox diet plan!” It’s a fair assumption to assume that the world, especially the United States, is obsessed with being healthy. From celebrity workout programs to expensive diet systems that make people lose weight, being fit is always what’s mainly focused on in the media, daily life, and nationwide. But with obsessions, come unhealthy actions and interests. Most people that anyone knows is most likely upset with some aspect of themselves. Whether it be the way they look, how they eat, or their lifestyle, obsession happens because of the nearly-impossible body types and lifestyles found on social media. On top of this, there are also restrictions and challenges that come with eating a healthy diet that seem simply irradical to address, and unhealthier foods are more available than ever. With these slowly arising issues, anyone would think the nation is making it hard for themselves to be healthy. The society the nation lives in is making it progressively harder and harder to be healthy because of the lifestyles that are easier to achieve.
