The Hidden Dangers of Obesity and the High Cost of Weight Problems<\/h2>\n

Nearly two billion<\/a> people around the globe are considered overweight by BMI (body mass index–a ratio of height to weight) standards. In the United States alone, more than $130 million is spent daily (yes, per day!), including diet foods and beverages, artificial sweeteners, health clubs, diet plans, books, videos, weight loss camps, diet programs, weight loss surgery, and diet pills.<\/p>\n

According to the United States CDC<\/a> (Centers for Disease Control), almost $150 billion is spent per year in America on medical care related to weight issues, as well as on lost productivity due to obesity.<\/p>\n

You probably know that obesity can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and overall mortality. But did you know that obesity can also make you more prone to gallbladder disease, sleep apnea (which causes loss of sleep, which in turn causes more weight gain), osteoarthritis, some cancers, and even depression?<\/p>\n

While a healthy diet and regular exercise are ideal for everyone, whether they want to lose weight or not, extreme diets can feel like deprivation, and heavy workouts may be unsustainable long-term.
