It's no wonder why we are an overweight society. We live in a fast pace world. Where it's so much easier just to pull up to a window and order food instead of going home and cooking a meal. And if we don't have the energy to cook. We will not have the energy to walk or workout. And what are we teaching our kids by doing this ? We are just passing on bad habits to them.
Just think if every fast food meal has around 1,000 calories in it. You are eating almost your days worth of calories in one meal. And dinner is the worst one because you go home and sit or go to bed. So how overweight do you think you would be after a few years of this ? Pretty scary isn't it?
It's hard not to think about food when it's every where in your face. Most people have a food place in walking distance.
If people would eat at home more and think about what they are putting into there bodies it would cut down on so many problems.
All the Health related problems would be reduced. Medical cost would not be so high. If you prepared your meals at home instead of eating out , you would be saving money this way too. Plus you would have more family time, and teaching better habits to your kids.
You would also see a big change in your weight if you would get more active. It's doesn't take much to get out an walk 30 minutes or so a day. So get up from that TV or game and do it. Just by stopping the fast food, and walking 30 minutes a day could just very well save your life.
Think about things. Years ago there were very few fast food restaurants. People ate a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables, because they grew them. That in it's self helped keep them active. They had to work in that garden, or pick that fruit if they wanted to eat. And they did not sit in front of that TV, computer, or video games. We are a spoiled society and it is killing us. And we are the only ones that can change this.
If you must have fast food, and it is in walking distance walk there and back. If you started walking to more places you would be helping your body, and you would be saving on gas too. Give it a try.
