Good Health is an Exercise in Common Sense
In the study titled, “The Surgeon General’s Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity”, the surgeon general indicates that 61% of American adults are either overweight or obese. The study indicates that being overweight increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, as well as Type‐2 diabetes among other afflictions.
