HOLLYWOOD - Katie Holmes' plans to shed her post-pregnancy weight in preparation for her marriage to Tom Cruise have been met with opposition from her father. The actress has met with Sue Fleming, the owner of Buff Brides, which specializes in turning unfit fiancées into toned wives in a matter of weeks.
And the Mission: Impossible star is reportedly overseeing his fiancée’s fitness regime--much to the chagrin of her dad Martin Holmes, who believes his daughter should be resting after giving birth to baby daughter Suri on April 18.
He tells British magazine Reveal, "My daughter needs rest, relaxation and recuperation. Katie is already doing exercises to build up her back and shoulders and I simply can't go along with what is happening."
But Fleming hits back: "Katie can and will do it. She has great motivation. She loves her fiancée and was proud that Tom oversaw this program.
"He told her he wanted her to be the most beautiful bride ever. She was in tears when he said that."
Britney Spears is finally pregnant…or Britney Spears gaining weight? Since that is our only evidence at this point to think that Mrs. Federline is brewing up a little Kevin. Although Us Weekly, People, Star magazines and Norm Clarke from the Las Vegas Review-Journal all seem to be more than guessing when it comes to Brit being pregnant.
You know, it may just be that she quit doing her hundreds of sit-ups a day and the rigorous work-out routine.
However, we have heard statements from the pop diva’s mouth that also suggest there may indeed be a bun in the oven. She has given up smoking and drinking (Federline’s biggest kick is when he is chugging a beer and tells Brit she can’t have any), and seemingly does nothing to stop her recent weight gain. Britney said, "(motherhood) is not something I'm striving for. But it feels weird even to talk about it, because it's like, when things are about to happen, you don't want to jinx it, because it feels too good to be true." Anyway, her rep says, "She tells me she's not pregnant." Maybe the Federlines have a plan to announce the news to one particular magazine that offered the most money for the great piece of information? We’ll see! According to Norn Clarke, “She's pregnant. Look for the announcement any day now.”
How does this chart-topping superstar stay in such super shape? Do you believe Britney spears takes slimming pills? That's the talk on the Internet after photos of Britney appear to show her grabbing a blue bottle at London’s Heathrow Airport. A British tabloid reportedly says it's a bottle of a popular diet pill . Now, some sites are even selling the "fat burner" by claiming that "pop princess Britney Spears maintains her sexy shape with this product." Yet another claims Britney was "outed" as user of the appetite suppressant . Britney is reportedly furious over the diet pill story. Her lawyer said she does not endorse the diet product and "any company using a photo of her inappropriately" will be contacted and told to "remove the photo." The latest news is that Britney has made peace with the makers of a diet aid pill, following a long-running dispute. While the terms of the settlement remain confidential, a representative for the diet aid confirms that the matter has been resolved. Britney had a notorious junk food craving and her daily diet consisted of primarily empty calories. The pop star has been seen consuming Red Bull energy drinks, Starbucks Frappuccinos and Marlboro Lights. On a few occasions, she’s been seen eating one of her favorite snacks, Cheetos. Pictures reportedly featured the singer looking bloated and chunky, until they were digitally slimmed down to resemble her trademark svelte body. Britney's personal trainer Bobby Strom has exposed several sources behind her fluctuating weight, including her mom Lynne's home cooking. He says, "Her mind has not been in the right place for working out. She's had lots of stuff to get sorted in her head and her personal life lately. But I think that she's over it and back on course, mentally and physically. I'm sure I'll be seeing her again soon." "She's fond of her mom's food but it tends to be carb heavy and calorific. I've told her to cut out barbeque sauces and gravies, and eat more protein - especially on tour. She also needs complex carbs such as brown rice, veggies and wholegrain breads." A source reports that Brtiney was devastated by her appearance in the photos, and complained to her promoters, "I look like a blimp, so do something about it. I need to look perfect - better than perfect."
Obesity has entrapped young and old
alike in its web. Modern day luxuries have made situation
worse. Obesity is associated with other health related
issues such as cardiovascular diseases, Type-2 diabetes
amongst others. You can break-free from the whirlpool
of these health related risks with Zimulti
(Acomplia).
The fast-paced life of the contemporary
world has proven to be a root cause for many health
hazards. Obesity constitutes one of them. Obesity in
simple terms is a dietary disorder. It can be a consequence
of various factors such as faulty life style, genetics,
psychological factors, metabolic, high-calorific nutrition,
neuroendocrines, medicament. A person would be considered
obese if he or she has a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater
than 30, as a consequence of over-consumption of fatty
foods.
Your overweight can pull down your
self-confidence and in turn affecting your personality.
It can ruin some of your most cherished dreams such
as wearing that sexy evening gown you saw at the mall.
Not only that, it can make you a target of embarrassment
among friends and relatives. In such a scenario, Zimulti
can come to your rescue.
A French pharmaceutical company, Sanofi-Aventis
has developed this wonder drug. Zimulti
in essence is a brand name for Rimonabant. It is an
oral-prescription drug, with Rimonabant as the active
ingredient.
Zimulti is a promising weight loss
drug, which acts as an appetite suppressant. It basically
obstructs the CB-1 receptors, which regulate food and
tobacco consumption. This makes you eat less than your
normal appetite. Zimulti also has the potential to curb
the unhealthy craving of tobacco, apart from weight
loss. It reflects other benefits as well such as improvement
in cholesterol, and metabolism-health related problems.
A diet pill alone cannot do wonders.
Therefore, Zimulti should be used in combination with
a balanced low calorie diet and regular workouts. The
market is swamped with other alternatives to Zimulti
such as Adipex, Orlistat (Xenical), Bontril, Didrex,
Diethylpropion, Sibutramine (Meridia), Ionamin, Phendimetrazine,
Tenuate as well. Yet, Zimulti has gained much popularity
due to its optimistic results. A prior consultation
with a doctor is recommended, before you go ahead with
Zimulti treatment.
Zimulti will soon hit the US market.
The availability of the much-awaited Zimulti diet drug
can pave an easy way out for many Americans, to get
in shape without a lot of hassle. Make a smart move
and revolutionize the entire outlook of your body with
Zimulti.

55,20 livres, soit 80 euros environ, c'est ce qu'il faudra débourser au Royaume-Uni pour un mois de traitement par Acomplia. La tant attendue pilule de Sanofi Aventis destinée à contribuer à l'amincissement chez les patients obèses ou en surpoids présentant des facteurs de risque cardiométabolique associés. Acomplia doit bien évidemment être prescrit en accompagnement d'un régime adapté.Les patients britanniques seront donc les premiers à pouvoir obtenir ce médicament, le lancement dans les autres pays d'Europe étant appelé à s'échelonner sur les prochains mois. Le groupe pharmaceutique a organisé hier un point presse, n'hésitant pas à inviter des praticiens spécialistes (endocrinologue et cardiologues) pour donner le point de vue des prescripteurs. Un garde-fou bienvenu de la part de Sanofi Aventis qui ne veut en aucun cas que sa molécule ne soit assimilée à un médicament miracle.Au contraire, depuis le début, Sanofi rejette en bloc toute approche "cosmétique" en visant exclusivement les patients souffrant de réels troubles métaboliques, et non les personnes désirant simplement perdre du poids. Même ainsi restreint, le marché est du reste suffisamment vaste !Ainsi les prescripteurs éventuels invités à s'exprimer par Sanofi Aventis ont indiqué qu'ils ne coucheraient pas Acomplia sur l'ordonnance dès la première consultation d'un patient. La plupart attendraient plusieurs mois pour voir si un régime spécifique et la reprise d'une activité physique adaptée ne permettent pas à eux seuls d'améliorer l'état de santé du patient.

Sanofi Update on Diet Pill Acomplia Progress at the FDA: August 2nd?
For the millions of American's wondering when highly anticipated diet pill Acomplia (rimonabant ) may be obtainable in the United States, the next opportunity for developer Sanofi-Aventis to update the world on where things really stand with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration comes on August 2nd.
That's the date Sanofi's top executives plan to meet with financial analysts to report on the company's first half 2006 earnings, after which the analysts get a chance to ask questions.
It's been more than five months now since Sanofi-Aventis dribbled out the news that the FDA had decided not to allow Acomplia to be sold in the United States until certain unspecified conditions are met.
At past sessions of this kind, Sanofi has brushed aside all questions about why the FDA was delaying action on Acomplia, telling analysts only that it was responding to the FDA, and expected to have Acomplia approved and on sale in the United States as a weight-loss medication in the second half of this year.
The likelihood of that now happening, in the view of most observers, is very close to zero. So given Sanofi's financial stakes in getting what they foresee as a $5 billion drug into the U.S. market, we would hope analysts might be a bit more aggressive in seeking to determine when the Acomplia revenue stream (and the availability of the drug to U.S. patients) might start.
Sample question for analysts: What issues are holding up approval at the FDA?
While Acomplia has been on the market now in the U.K. for just over a month, and is expected to be launched in a half-dozen other European markets in the months ahead, the revenue the drug will produce for Sanofi during the balance of this year is trivial compared to what is at stake in the United States.
Sample follow-up question for analysts: Have you had have any indication when Acomplia will be considered by an FDA advisory committee?
A recent article left many readers hoping that a new weight loss pill could be a "magic bullet." WebMD's Public Editor responds.
Dec. 16, 2004 -- It's a struggle that's familiar to many people.
"I have had a weight problem my entire life and have yet to find anything besides good old-fashioned exercise [that works] and most of the time that doesn't do much either."
"I am at least 50 pounds overweight. No matter how much I try it is impossible to lose weight."
"I am interested in losing 30 pounds and have been trying so hard, but nothing seems to keep it off."
These and other personal stories filled WebMD's email boxes in response to a recent news article, titled "Experimental Diet Drug Has Staying Power," about a new weight loss drug called rimonabant. The article generated far more responses than any other WebMD news report in recent memory, including those about weight loss and about other promising drugs.
The medication, also known as Acomplia, is still being tested and isn't on the market. Yet reports about the drug's possible benefits -- which include not only suppressing appetite but also curbing the urge to smoke and improving cholesterol and blood sugar levels -- have many WebMD users clamoring for it. "When can I go on this new great drug?" asked one. "I'm overweight and need help fast!"
The answer is that the drug's manufacturer, Sanofi-Aventis, plans to apply for FDA approval in 2005. A decision by the agency will then take up to 10 months. If everything proceeds smoothly and the FDA gives its blessing, the drug could be on the U.S. market sometime in 2006. The company also hopes to get approval to sell the drug in Europe beginning in 2006.
Plenty of things can hold up or derail drug approvals, though, including concerns about safety, a subject that many WebMD users asked about. So far the main side effects seem to be nausea and dizziness, which were bothersome enough to cause some people participating in studies to drop out. What's more, no one yet knows what risks the medication might pose with long-term use, which appears necessary to keep weight off.
Another common question was how to volunteer for studies. The manufacturer says none is open to new participants.
Few users asked what is perhaps the most important question: Is this really the miracle pill that many news reports have portrayed it to be? Known as a cannabinoid type I (CB1) blocker, it's the first of an entirely new class of drugs, which works by blocking a pleasure center in the brain. From the standpoint of researchers, the drug is clearly a breakthrough.
But from the standpoint of people trying to lose weight, it's something less. Researchers report that people taking the drug for two years lost an average of 19 pounds and 3 inches off their waists, compared with about 5 pounds and 1.5 inches among those who took a placebo. A benefit for sure, but hardly a miracle.
It's worth remembering that the two drugs currently approved for weight loss, Meridia (sibutramine) and Orlistat (xenical), were also once hailed by the media and others as answers to obesity. But they ended up having much more modest effects. And then there's the drug combination of fenfluramine and phentermine, known as fen-phen. Frenzy over fen-phen swept the U.S. until researchers discovered that the drug combo was causing heart valve problems. As a result, fenfluramine and its cousin Redux, another weight loss drug, were pulled off the market.
Rimonabant, perhaps in combination with other drugs, may in fact prove to be a useful tool in the fight against obesity and its adverse health effects. But it's not going to be the magic bullet that many users are evidently hoping for. Their overwhelming response to the WebMD article is a reminder of how difficult and frustrating the battle with weight often is. We owe it to them not to give false hope that a pill -- however promising -- is the answer to their prayers.
Italian researchers presented another curious research for Acomplia. According to them Acomplia also play a major role in reducing breast cancer. According to Maurizio Bifulco of the Università degli Studi di Salerno, research escorted, Acomplia "inhibited human breast cancer cell proliferation" in both gnawer and test tube studies.
Curiosity began when under discovery it has been found that the Acomplia is the most effective drug to reduce the growth of a belligerent metastatic breast cancer cell line called MBA-MB-231. Metastatic spread of breast tumors pays the majority of cancer related deaths.
The researchers told that "The growth of highly invasive metastatic MDA-MB-231 cells was inhibited more efficaciously than that of less invasive T47D and MCF-7 cells".
According to them they applied different doses of zimulti on tumor cells proliferation against very destructive metastatic, estrogen receptor negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells as well as against estrogen receptor positive T47D and MCF-7 cells and found that the drug is giving the positive response of the reduction of breast cancer.
Experiment:
They have done the test on mice by injecting with MDA-MB-231 cancer cells. After 15 days when tumors were clearly observable, the mice are being injected by rimonabant.
According to researchers under test they have found that "Tumor growth was monitored and the data revealed that exposure to rimonabant led to a significant decrease in tumor mass compared to control-treated mice, and also the treated mice with rimonabant exhibited no outward signs of toxic or hypolocomotor effects".
Under the close surveillance they also found that the CB1 receptor exists in greater extent in some lines of breast cancer than in others and the efficiency of rimonabant depends on the levels of CB1 receptor. So, here the points that should be noted are that the degree of rimonabant use to reduce the breast cancer can be varied.
Under conclusion researchers signified that "The present findings provide unequivocal evidence for the role of the CB1 receptor and its antagonist/inverse-agonis t rimonabant in breast tumor cell proliferation".
Bremolanotide, which is meant to stimulate the brain, unlike Viagra, which just aims at what's below the waist. Also, Bremolanotide will come in the form of an inhaler, not a pill. It works for both sexes, but apparently it's going to be marketed towards women, which makes sense. Bremolanotide, how's this miracle drug supposed to overcome a beer-belching, pot-bellied lump of a husband? What good is a sex drug when the object of one's devotion looks and smells like Al Bundy? Yeesh. A lot of guys will jump on anything that moves when they're gagging for sex, but women aren't built that way, unfortunately

A new international study has shown that 70% of Irish men and 54% of Irish women studied were considered overweight, while one quarter of Irish men and one--fifth of Irish women could be classified as clinically obese.
The IDEA study, a 63 country project including Ireland, coincides with the approval of a new anti-obesity drug, Acomplia
, in the EU, which is due to be introduced in Ireland shortly. The Irish data in the study confirmed that there is a strong association between waist circumference and developing cardiovascular disease; men in the study with cardiovascular disease had a high body mass index and waist circumference. Consultant cardiologist at Tallaght Hospital Dr Vincent Maher said the study demonstrates the importance of measuring waist circumference as an indicator of cardiometabolic risk
Trials have shown that the drug can reduce body weight by 10%. Acomplia works by targeting body mechanisms that control appetite, metabolism, weight and energy use. Dr Maher said that before Acomplia there was no medication that addressed the multiple cardiometabolic risk factors that put patients at risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Acomplia works by decreasing overactivity of the endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate appetite.

Before jumping into a diet, you must determine your ideal weight. This will be your guide on your weight loss journey. “Fast” weight loss doesn’t imply that you drop 50 pounds overnight; a few pounds can take months to shed and for obese individuals, it can take years to lose the desired amount of weight. How fast you lose weight will depend on how focused you are on your diet.
Here are some simple steps to help you lose weight:
1.Before dieting, you must know how many calories you normally need in a day. If you are sedentary, multiply your weight (in pounds) by fifteen. If you are moderately active, multiply your weight by seventeen; if you are active, multiply your weight by twenty. This will give you the average calorie intake you need per day.
2.Remember to eat your fruits and veggies! You need at least five servings of them per day – doing this will put you on the right track to a healthy body, because fruits and vegetables have beneficial fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. They also fill up your stomach fast so that you don’t overeat and take into many calories.
3.Monitor the quantity of food you eat. Avoid high-calorie foods and eat in small portions. A helpful tip is to chew your food slowly because this makes digestion easy on your body and you will also be less likely to overeat.
4.Don’t skip meals. When you want to lose weight it may be tempting to starve yourself – but eating small amounts of food frequently can help you maintain a healthy, balanced calorie intake throughout the day. Also, your blood sugar level will be adversely affected if you don’t eat often. You can even divide the standard allotment of three meals into five or six smaller meals.
5.Fresh fruits and vegetables are ideal – packaged and processed foods have high sodium and fat content. You are more likely to lose weight if you eat naturally fresh foods.
6.Don’t limit your food intake too much. Go ahead and indulge yourself; eat your favorite treat. It’s okay to have that slice of birthday cake at the occasional party. Just make sure to eat in moderation and use those special desserts as rewards, instead of enemies, to your weight loss experience.
7.Don’t always believe everything you read on a food label. “Fat free” does not necessarily mean low calories. The same wisdom goes for foods that boast “low sugar” or “low carbs.” Glance over the nutrition label – there you’ll find the calorie count.
8.Try to limit the number of juices and sugary beverages you drink. Instead, drink eight glasses water a day – this flushes out your body’s toxins and waste.
9.If possible, keep a food journal. This will help you keep track of your calorie intake and will be a daily reminder of the types of foods you need.
10.Don’t forget to exercise! Thirty to sixty minutes of physical activity a day will ensure your health and help you lose weight (and not to mention, firm up those muscles). Weight-bearing exercises are especially great ways to burn those pesky calories.

At last, the much awaited sex drug for womens is beckoning from the other side of the road. Behold! It is not a pill which the fairer gender is going to pop up and say Good Bye to sexual dysfunction ; it is an inhaler which is to work as the female version of Viagra but not like Viagra. Yes, women inhale Bremolanotide to get sexual stimulation, oh God! The husbands will heave a sigh of relief now!! Husbands, who were hopelessly pouring all their energy in foreplay without any outcome (may be anger, frustration, argument on the bed); will just have to say Honey, an inhaler for you instead. Seems easier eh? At least it promises a satisfactory love-making session which the foreplay does not guarantee. Couples, its the time for kiss and make up for last night ïs behavior, love is in the air, inhale it.
The inhaler will soon be available for the women folk who suffered from sexual dysfunction and give relief to their frustrated partners as Palatin Technologies of Fort Lee says it has encouraging effects on both men and women as it does not target the genitals; unlike Viagra, it targets the brain. The name is Bremolanotide (breem-oh-LAN'-oh-tyd), which is going to help those women who lack sexual desire or have trouble in getting aroused even when stimulated. Imagine, how helpful it would be for the women, as female sexual dysfunction is far more depended on the complex psychology and that is why the brain is responsible, not the organ. Bremolanotide is going to help women where it is required, as Viagra is for men, Bremolanotide is for women.
Bremolanotide has gripped the human sexuality at the top; it acts on the neural pathway that controls sexual function, while Viagra captured the bottom controlling the blood flow to the genital, acting on the vascular system. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, some form of female sexual dysfunction is prevalent in approximately 43 percent of the female population and erectile dysfunction affects about one half of all men over the age of 40 and about 150 million men worldwide. I think Bremolanotide has potential for healing female sexual dysfunction because of the simple fact that the sexual problem in female folk has more to do with psychology than physiology. Sexual dysfunction can also be a physical problem in some cases and then Viagra will come to rescue. So, the mental aspects of sexual dysfunction is going to be taken care of by Bremolanotide, for the health problems, let is keep our fingers crossed and wait for Viagra like pill for female.
The Bremolanotide inhaler can help men and women both, stimulating the person sexually; so if a man has erectile dysfunction due to so health reasons, may be prostrate cancer or something like that, at the same time he is under stress so he is not able to enjoy sexual life, the combination of Viagra and the inhaler can do the miracle for him. Isnt it like a fiery tale where the witch sprinkles a magical perfume to attract the prince? Here we can say its the bad guy who did this to the beautiful princess. Oh do not be negative all the time, it can be your own loving husband who has been passing long nights just waiting for you! I dont know what X factor is there in the inhaler, but I am happy for those women who are going to inhale it and enjoy the sexual life, may be for the first time! Congratulations to the couples!!
National Breastfeeding Awareness Week is an annual health campaign coordinated by the Department of Health to promote the benefits of breastfeeding and encourage more mums to give it a go. This year, the awareness campaign will focus on the importance of support during breastfeeding from those closest to mothers: partners, peers and family members.
Hollywood star Courteney Cox-Arquette has spoken out in favour of the campaign, giving encouragement to all new mums. She says, "Breastfeeding is undoubtedly the best thing you can do for your baby. It took a lot of persevering through the early weeks because my daughter did not latch on properly, and, honestly, it really hurt. But I am so happy I stayed with it because not only do I have a special bond with my child, but it's so easy now and she is extremely healthy."
New research commissioned by The Department of Health for the campaign has revealed that, despite popular belief, the majority of men are supportive of breastfeeding, with 79 per cent of those surveyed saying that they would want their children to be breastfed.
The survey also revealed that 71 per cent of men would feel comfortable about their partner breastfeeding and 56 per cent have/would try to influence/advise their partner about whether or not to breastfeed
The UK has one of the lowest breastfeeding rates in Europe. Almost a third of women (29 per cent) in England and Walesnever try to breastfeed compared to 2 per cent in Sweden. As a result, in 2003 the government set targets for all primary care trusts to increase the number of women taking up breastfeeding by 2 per cent a year, focusing especially on women from disadvantaged groups.
The benefits of breastfeeding
Dr Anthony Williams - senior lecturer and consultant in neonatal paediatrics at St George's Hospital Medical School, London, says:
"Breastfeeding for three months or more reduces a baby's chances of catching diarrhoea, chest and ear infections. It may also reduce the risk of later eczema, obesity and diabetes for the child. Breastfeeding may also reduce the risk of a mother acquiring breast cancer before the menopause.
"There is additional evidence to suggest that breastfeeding leads to a reduction in blood pressure at school age and an improvement of IQ levels, especially when babies are born prematurely. This is a very positive and exciting development for the health of future generations. Breastfeeding gives a baby the best start possible and helps to set down a pattern of good health for life."
Reasons to breastfeed
1. Breastmilk provides everything your baby needs for the first six months.
2. Your baby will have a lower risk of gastro-enteritis, respiratory, urinary tract and ear infections, eczema and childhood diabetes.
3. You'll have a lower risk of premenopausal breast cancer and ovarian cancer and breastfeeding also helps the womb return to normal.
4. Breastmilk is always available and at the right temperature. It can also be expressed so everyone can help with feeding.
5. It's free - in fact, it saves you an estimated £450 across a year.
6. It also saves the nation money - the NHS spends an estimated £35m per year treating gastro-enteritis in bottlefed babies in England.
7. Breastfed babies have higher IQs - a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that breastfed infants tested 5.2 IQ points higher than bottlefed infants.
8. Breastfeeing helps develop a strong emotional bond with your child.
9. Breastfed babies are less likely to be obese as adults.
10. Breastmilk is delivered without any pollution, unnecessary packaging or waste.
11. Women who breastfeed regain their figures sooner than women who bottlefeed. Your body burns about 500 calories a day when making breastmilk.
Breastfeeding tips
* Ask a relative or friend to give you a few hours' extra help at home in the early days. This will free you up to spend time getting breastfeeding right.
* Make sure your back is straight. Try feeding in a straight-backed chair or support your back with pillows.
* It's a good idea to put a glass of water or juice by your side before you settle down to breastfeed in case you get thirsty.
* If you have painful swollen breasts, your milk may not be flowing effectively. Get help to check the position of your baby while he or she is feeding, as a poor position may stop the baby from emptying the breast.
* Try to make breastfeeding special for all the family, especially older brothers or sisters. You might want to give them a snack and a drink so they're being fed too, or you could keep a story tape, video or box of toys especially for this occasion.
* You can store expressed milk in the back of the fridge (where it's coldest) for 24 hours, or in the freezer for up to three months. Milk at room temperature should be used immediately.

Teenagers face many difficulties and temptations while growing up. Being overweight — or thinking they are overweight — can lead to unhealthful methods of weight control.
Those who diet and try to control their weight using drastic methods are three times more likely to be overweight five years later, according to a recent study. In addition, these behaviors also increase their risk of developing eating disorders.
For instance, parents should lead by example and not practice unhealthful eating habits. Parents can provide a positive environment for their kids by keeping wholesome foods in the kitchen and making physical activities a normal family event.

Obesity is not a simple condition of eating too much. It is now recognized that obesity is a serious, chronic disease. No human condition — not race, religion, gender, ethnicity or disease state — compares to obesity in prevalence and prejudice, mortality and morbidity, sickness and stigma.Obesity is not a sign of a person being out of control. It is a serious medical disease that affects over a quarter of adults in the United States, and about 14% of children and adolescents. It is the second leading cause of preventable death after smoking. Think about these questions:
- How do genes, environment and behavior explain obesity?
- How do our bodies regulate our weight?
- Why do some countries or certain ethnic and racial groups have higher rates of obesity than others?
- Who is to blame: the individual, TV, fast foods? Read the AOA fact sheet, What is Obesity?
