Nutrition and weight loss how important is it?

Nutrition and weight loss how important is it? It is critical because it leads to all kinds of health issues with one of them being obesity. There are millions of people that need to lose weight and because of that they are putting themselves at risk.

Nutrition and Weight Loss is so important it is a matter of life and death is that important enough? In this country we do not have a health care system but a sick care system. What do I mean by that? Our system of taking care of people’s health does not start until they become sick or are hospitalized. A health care system should take care of one’s health that is help people maintain their health or keep them healthy. Which do you think we have? Let me say this before I sign off here today. I am not against doctors, nurses or hospitals but do we believe we have the cart before the horse. One of the most important things a person can do for their health is to not be overweight. It is at epidemic numbers and increasing on a daily basis. It leads to so many other diseases and just overall health problems.

It is now impacting school age children. That is a very difficult situation because if as a child they are having weight concerns then they could have a lifetime of health issues ahead of them. Not necessary and preventable.
