Two-thirds of adults and one-fifth of children in the United States are obese or overweight. While lifestyle changes are needed to address obesity, they require self-discipline, determination, education and resources. The article recommends taking advantage of employer-sponsored wellness programs to help with obesity prevention efforts, which involve starting with a doctor's visit, engaging in moderate physical activity for 30 minutes daily, and finding social support.

Για τις νέες προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζουμε έκανε λόγο ο Θόδωρος Σκυλακάκης
Στο μείζον θέμα της πρόληψης στον τομέα της υγείας αλλά και τις νέες προκλήσεις που προκύπτουν έκανε λόγο ο ευρωβουλευτής του ΕΛΚ και ιδρυτικό στέλεχος της Δημοκρατικής Συμμαχίας κ. Θόδωρος Σκυλακάκης σε εκδήλωση με θέμα
«Πρόληψη: στρατηγική επιλογή για την πολιτική δημόσιας υγείας στην Ελλάδα και την Ε.Ε.».
Σύμφωνα με τον έλληνα ευρωβουλευτή «όλοι είναι υπέρ της πρόληψης, στο τέλος όμως κανείς δεν ενδιαφέρεται να πάρει πρωτοβουλίες». Ωστόσο ο κ. Σκυλακάκης τόνισε ότι «δεν είναι ελληνικό αλλά ευρωπαϊκό φαινόμενο».
Παράλληλα έκανε λόγο για τις νέες προκλήσεις που έχουμε να αντιμετωπίσουμε όπως η γήρανση του πληθυσμού, η υπόθεση του ανθρώπινου γονιδιώματος αλλά και οι δυνατότητες που έχει το marketing στον τομέα της πρόληψης.
Όσον αφορά το ανθρώπινο γονιδίωμα (αποτελείται από το σύνολο των γονιδίων ενός οργανισμού και κατευθύνει την φυσική ανάπτυξη και την συμπεριφορά του), ο κ. Σκυλακάκης ανέφερε ότι σε 3-4 χρόνια θα υπάρχει η δυνατότητα εξέτασης γονιδιωμάτων με 100 δολάρια.
Στην εκδήλωση ήταν καλεσμένος και ο βουλευτής του ΠΑΣΟΚ και καθηγητής στο London School of Economics κ. Η. Μόσιαλος, ο οποίος όμως δεν κατάφερε να παρευρεθεί λόγω της κακοκαιρίας.

One of the main things for Diabetic diet in diabetes treatment is Glycemic index of food. If the Glycemic index of the food is higher it gives more strain on insulin receptors. So that sharply rises in blood sugar. If the glycemic index of the food is lowerit gives less strain on insulin receptors as a result blood sugar in control.

Cause
Results from body storing excess energy in form of stored fats, thus by reducing intake can be a control measure.
Regulation of food intake as researched by professional cannot sustain control of increases in cases of obesity in society today. several factors interactions contribute to the situation. the causes have to first be understood. While most of the obesity cases are caused by excess consumption of food by an individual, it is also clear that some conditions are caused by more than excess consumption. This may include genetic, or other body disorders. The prevalence of the problem is increasing instead of reducing. Obesity rates have increased across all the population groups in the United States. It is therefore important to approach the problem from a different perspective.
Challenges being experienced can be grouped into the following major levels.
Intrapersonal Level
Interpersonal Level
Community/Institution Level
Macro/Public Policy Level
Medics and nutritionists have viewed the problem continuously as it could be solved through reducing the amount of food intake. However, body’s regulation of food consumption is not enough to deal with the epidemic. It is not a matter of the obese people decision to eat less food than they have been doing. It has been seen that obesity can be reduced through a different treatment of the problem. This may involve first deciding the root cause that triggers a person to eat so much food.

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic health condition that
affects how your body processes glucose
(sugar).
Glucose is the primary source of energy
for your body's cells, and insulin is a
hormone that helps regulate the amount
of glucose in your bloodstream.
In people with diabetes, the body either
doesn't produce enough insulin or is
unable to use it effectively.
1. Obesity is on the rise, with two in three adults in the United States
categorized as either obese or overweight, and one in five U.S. chil-
dren suffering from the same condition. But the drastic changes to
diet and exercise needed to improve this condition aren’t easy. It
requires behavioral and lifestyle changes that take self-discipline
and determination as well as education and resources to under-
stand how to make these changes safely. Taking advantage of the
obesity prevention program offered by your employer can have a huge
impact on your efforts.
Get with the Program
Your doctor can be very influential in the process of losing weight
or obesity prevention, and an office visit is the first place to start.
Your doctor can encourage you, counsel you about strategies and
recommend medicinal aids. If you do not have a regular practitio-
ner, your health plan provider can recommend a physician who
has a proven track-record of success.
Regular physical activity can help with weight loss when com-
bined with lower calorie intake. By focusing on eating fruits and
vegetables and avoiding saturated fats, you can begin to change
your dietary habits to reflect a healthier lifestyle. Participating in
30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity five days a week
along with muscle-strengthening activities twice a week will give
you more energy, improve sleep quality and lower health risks. Find-
ing a support system at work, home or in your community can help
keep you on the right path.

Many plans offer individual, group and telephone coun-
seling. The effectiveness of the counseling treatment in-
creases with the intensity, so multiple types of counseling
ensure access to many types of intervention. Counseling
includes problem solving, skills training and social support.
Medication therapy can be an important option for smok-
ing cessation treatment. When combined with counseling,
pharmacotherapy can increase quit rates 15‐30% compared
to seven percent without medicinal assistance.

2. Obesity awareness programs are most effec-
tive when introduced at an early age. Many
experts believe healthy eating habits are
established during gestation and should be
encouraged throughout the growing years.
Teaching children how to prepare healthy
food and encouraging them to participate in
physical activities exponentially increase their
chances of being healthy adults.
See the Benefits
According to the New England Journal of Medi-
cine, the current generation of children will be
the first in America to have a shorter lifespan
than their parents’generation, thanks largely
to obesity-related diseases. Being either
obese or overweight increases your risk for
contracting many chronic diseases, including
high blood pressure, heart disease, type-two
diabetes, certain cancers and stroke.
Obesity is a significant driver of increased
medical costs, and undermines your health
and financial well-being. The cost of obesity
in the United States is as high as $147 billion
per year, or 9.1% of total medical spending in
this country.
While no health plan has a 100% success rate,
participating in an obesity prevention wellness
program through your employer can help you
on your journey toward a healthier lifestyle.
Preventable diseases make up about 70%
of all illnesses in the United States. This greatly
impacts the cost of health care. Chronic and
preventable illnesses are often related to
lifestyle choices such as poor eating habits.
The good news is that employees want to
improve their health. Participation in wellness
programs is increasing as employees take per-
sonal steps to battle rising health care costs.
