For your health: A war against obesity
Placeholder Image
According to the Centers for Disease Control, obesity is an epidemic in the United States. Obesity not only affects adults, but more and more we are seeing our young people diagnosed with high blood pressure, diabetes, joint pain and other diseases usually associated with an older population. Unless we fight this battle and win the war against obesity, our children are more likely to become ill, immobile and no longer able to enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.
