70% of our adult population is overweight or obese and appalling 50% of us are pre-diabetic. Over the last four decades, we gradually slide ourselves into a sedatory life style: we drive more, walk less; we stay indoors more, outdoors less; we eat processed food more, cook less. We are not certainly not doing our children any favor for not teaching them about growing vegetables, buying produce or cooking meals at home.

Obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern. It increases the risk of various health problems such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure, multiple joints degenerative changes, even certain types of cancer; it decreases our energy, our social confidence and sexual performance. The good news is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent the health problems exponentially. Life style modification, dietary changes, increased physical activity help to lose weight. Prescription medications may also be an option in treating obesity.
