Episode13: EVERYDAY FITNESS: How to Create, Maintain & Cultivate Habits of Health

According to a recent report from the Center for Disease Control, it is projected that by 2030, half of all adults or 115 million people in the United States will be obese; making it a problem of epidemic proportions as it is taking over many parts of the world. It is one of the most obvious but ignored health problems facing Americans today and is already responsible for 24% of our total health care costs annually.

So, what is behind this problem?

More than 80% of adults & adolescents do not meet the recommended physical activity guidelines and the typical American diet exceeds the recommended intake levels or limits in four categories: calories from solid fats and added sugars; refined grains; sodium; and saturated fat, making the old adage “Diet & Exercise” as true statement today as it has ever been.

So why is it so hard to meet these recommendations?

The answer is, the world is changing. Once we had to hunt and forage for food which gave us exercise and forced us to eat off the land naturally but today, we live in a world of convenience where all the food you need is just a car ride away.

Exposure to a never-ending array of processed foods and the decreased activity of a workforce primarily sitting behind a screen for 8 hours a day had caused us to develop poor habits of health which we are passing down from generation to generation.

Are we capable of creating, maintaining, and cultivating habits of health that keep us healthy?
