Weight loss and long life – Choice is YOURS

Over weight – it is not a problem of the adult anymore. Teens and even children in many countries are facing this problem. Recently , I saw in the television , various exercise programs to reduce the weight of the children in China. Whether the life style, eating habits, junk food is the culprit, for this phenomenon, the fact is over weight causes problems.

A new study, from the Harvard school of Public Health , reports that being overweight at the age of 18 is associated with an increased risk of premature death in younger and middle-aged women. Past studies have also shown that overweight children and adolescents have higher risks of cardiovascular problems and chronic diseases.

Health care professionals and Governments world over are concerned about the overweight problem , especially that of the children and teens. You and I have to take some action to make our lives and that of our dear ones, more enjoyable and meaningful.

Regular exercise , good eating habits and weight loss supplements if needed are few precautionary measures , you can take to keep the weight under control.
