“I think I’m turning Japanese…”
Eating Healthy in the City: Eating Healthy in the City
The Today Show features segments daily on weight related issues. Recently they compared the obesity rate in the United States with other countries. Just look at these numbers and be very afraid.
Country Men Women
U.S. 28% 34%
England 22 23
France 11 11
Japan 3 3
The guest on this segment related her experience that when she moved to the United States she gained 25 lbs. within 3 months. American fast food is a powerful addition. Once tasted it is irresistible and cost effective. Once she returned to Japan and ate as is typical in Japan (fish, soy and very little red meat) the weight fell off. Cancer rates are also much lower in Japan and life expectancy in much older.
Wow, the food we choose to eat can either kill us or keep us healthy. Wake up America it’s time to choose to “Live-it” not Diet!
