  1. The Relationship of Obesity and Diabetes

  2. Most of us have been warned about being obese. Scientific research shows that obesity is a significant factor in the development of hypertension, heart diseases, diabetes and other degenerative diseases. Worldwide, obesity rates are escalating and a concomitant and alarming surge in diabetes. The relationship of diabetes and obesity is obvious. But for some time science cannot pinpoint the direct relationship between obesity and diabetes.

  3. The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says that the obesity epidemic is the biggest challenge in the 21st century. Speaking during the just concluded Weight of the Nation Conference 2012, Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius gave a summary of the obesity epidemic in the USA. According to her, in 1985 not one State in the US had obesity rates above 15 percent. Obesity began to rear its ugly in the late 1980s. From that time on the obesity rates had increased to 25 percent in 38 states in 2010. She added that obesity costs the US economy billions of dollars and that it in terms of health care it is a threat to the nation's economic security.

  4. Other statistics from the CDC reveal that in 1999, obesity rate climbed from 12 percent to almost 20 percent during the past 10 years. During that same span of time there had been a parallel increase of diabetics among Americans. 16 million or 6 percent of Americans were diagnosed with diabetes or an increase of 40 percent in 10 years since the 1980s. https://www.zootsva.com/diabetes-solution-kit-system-review/
