All About Nutrition Fitness and Health Conditions
According to an article about the fattest countries in the world, the U.S. weighs in at #9. The article from Forbes.com was posted by Yahoo Finance in 2010 and states that in the U.S., about 74% of those over 15 years of age are considered to be overweight. That is staggering when you see that only about 1 out of 4 people living in the U.S. are at or below their recommended weight. These numbers can probably be widely debated, yet the fact remains that people are not living healthy lifestyles that promote consistently good fitness and health habits.
So, there must be a reason for the lack of focus on nutrition fitness health and other diet and exercise related activities. Many changes have taken place in society that would cause people to become distracted from fitness and health related activities. Some of those are listed here:
The Internet - Since the onset and surge of the internet, millions of people that did not own computers before, do now. Hours upon hours are spent in front of a small screen causing eye strain, fatigue, and poor posture. Not to mention the time this takes away from physical exercise.
