Risks of Obesity Cited as #1 Health Issue in 2020

By Richard J. Roll

According to Janet L. Bruno MD, an obesity expert, there are a number of diseases which are directly attributable to obesity. She cites the risks of obesity to include heart disease, diabetes, stroke, low back pain, sleep apnea, depression, high cholesterol, joint problems, among others. In fact, a recent study published by the Center for Disease Control states that the combined direct and indirect health care costs resulting from obese and overweight Americans is estimated to be $117 billion per year. Also, statistics demonstrate that death rates increase at least 200% for people who are 50 pounds or more overweight. Dr. Bruno is distributing a new book which is in digital form and available to the public at no cost for a limited time. It offers real world solutions rarely shared by the medical profession.
Dr. Bruno is at the forefront of initiating a major campaign to educate the American public on the real facts of obesity. She believes that the public must first recognize obesity as the disease that it really is before any action can be taken.
Obesity is a disease which is created when someone reaches a certain level of being overweight. There is a statistical methodology that doctors use to quantify this level, which is known as the Body Mass Index (BMI) chart. This simple tool helps doctors create a baseline for their patients, and serves as a method to monitor change.
Unless Americans make the effort to become educated, and receive guidance to move toward their weight loss goals, the health of America will only get worse. Unless change is believed to be critical, the anticipated health care costs will only be increase. “Please become informed, in one way or another, so we as a country can start becoming healthier”.
