Heart-Disease: Truths about Diet, Obesity, and $75 Billion

Sensible diet prevents obesity!
Healthy living prevents most diseases!
(Unfortunately, old age is not a disease.)

These truths should be self evident.

Yet recent shock headlines tell us that "medical problems caused by
obesity are costing U.S. tax payers $75 billion
per year".

The human body is a biological machine. We all know that overloading
a mechanical machine can cause it to break down, yet we allow
ourselves to overload our hearts,
joints, and more. Moderate exercise helps "tune up" the machines we
live in.

Think about it. Many injuries are a direct consequence of being over
weight and under exercised!
