Why do you think the rate of obesity is increasing in the United States?

Chemicals and Toxins Are The Primary Cause of Illness, Disease and Obesity !

According to "National Geographic鈥?- studies have discovered various chemicals from our foods and environment that indicates man contributes 700,000 tons of pollutants into the air every day - ranging from everyday household cleaners to cosmetics and hair dyes. Without a nutritionally rich diet that nourishes and assists the body in cleansing these substances from the body, the body will lose its strength and vitality. The immune system will become suppressed, contributing to an increase in illness, disease and excess body fat - a major killer in America today. These chemicals and toxins accumulate over time, and cause the liver and kidneys to become overworked and weak. Research has shown that stress causes the adrenals to release excess cortisol, a stress hormone that triggers over-indulgence in simple carbohydrates - chocolate, candy, sodas, and ice cream, even when you are not hungry. Excess cortisol contributes to hormone imbalances. 65% of the world's population cleanse on a regular basis as part of their cultures. Why don't North Americans ?

Chemicals and toxins accumulate in fat tissue. The more chemicals and toxins - the more fat the body manufactures. Have you ever tried to lose weight only to be disappointed ? Well, perhaps now you know the reason why! Most diets, lotions, pills, potions, and powders use unhealthy and potentially dangerous ingredients, such as ma huang, ephedra, and caffeine that promise fast weight loss . . . however - the weight loss is primarily water and lean muscle. Minimal fat is lost because these products do not address the cleansing of the system.

Without proper cleansing - the lost lean muscle and water return as fat, thus people are actually fatter versions of their prior selves. Chemicals and toxins are bound within fat tissue, and only specifically blended nutrients can contribute to releasing the chemicals from fat. Excess fat will literally melt away at an alarming yet safe and effective pace. This is the healthy alternative to nutritionally-deficient, disappointing and potentially deadly diets. 75% of Americans are overweight - 2,000,000 more Americans become obese every year. There are 18 million obese children in America. Obesity is linked to over 60 illnesses, including Heart Disease, Hypertension and Cancer. There were 1.5 million heart attacks in America in 2000 . . . 200,000 victims never reached the hospital.

Never before has it been so important, and so critical, for you to lose the excess fat and keep it off. Americans are becoming more aware of the importance of eating sensibly, exercising moderately, drinking quantities of clean water, consuming quality supplements, and managing their weight. Stress has created a population of sugarholics. The average consumption of sugar per capita in the United States is 3.5 pounds a week for adults and slightly more for children. There are numerous diet products, and most Americans have tried them all in an attempt to defeat the battle of the bulge. Yes ! We are in a war, and the battle waged is against FAT !

According to the National Institutes of Health, heart disease is the number 1 killer of Americans with 1,000,000 deaths each year - cancer is number 2. It is estimated that within the next five years, one out of two Americans will eventually succumb to heart disease, and one out of three to cancer. Today one out of eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. More than 85% of these cases are not genetically linked. They are a result of the environment we live in. A diet is anything you put into your mouth: food, beverages, the air you breathe, and what transdermally penetrates your skin. What comprises the foods you consume every day ? To name a few, they are pesticides, fertilizers, chemicals, hormones and food colorings. Commercial soils are over-farmed, undernourished, and are deficient in vital minerals and microbes. These minerals and nutrients are not replenished due to the costs involved. Your body is indeed a chemical depository !

Do you want to be HEALTHY, CLEAN, AND LEAN ? Then modify your lifestyle to incorporate on-going cleansing, sensible eating and mild exercise. You will be on your way to a lifetime of improved health and wellness. Source(s): http://detoxcleanse.tripod.com/...

mcdonalds, not healthy food, ot many fast food places, trying to stop eating then eating a whole lot
A number of reasons. One, the amount of stress that we deal with in this country.
Two, the crap that they put in the food these days.
Three, lack of time to exercise.
With men women and children......because we in the USA we are so much more lazier than the other worlds around us A Majority of the USA stop at fast foods and then biggie there orders.... And it seems like more and more pparents are getting in trouble with THE HRS with their children getting heavier.Question for you? Ya ever seen the Movie Super Size ME?
because:.. people are gettin lazier and people like me just eat and play computer or waqtch tv or something like that and never exercice so all that stuff stays in u and u dont lose it and u will just get fatter
Computers. Video games. Tv. DVDs. And fast food. Kids used to go outside and play for hours. Rode bicycles until dark. Had foot races. Etc. Now all they do is sit in the house and entertain themselves with things that require them to just sit still.

Parents dont make them go outside. And parents are either too busy or too lazy to make decent meals with fresh veggies and lean meat. You cant take in a 2000 calorie meal at McDonalds and then only use about 100 calories to sit and play games and watch tv and chat online and expect to stay thin and healthy.
