Some Heavy Statistics

Americans, on the average, are heavier than the citizens of any other major nation. Excessive weight is one of our leading public health problems, placing more than 34 million Americans at serious medical risk.

What are the risks involved in being overweight? Plenty. Overweight individuals are laying the foundation for almost every degenerative disease except osteoporosis.

4 times more likely to have high blood pressure
Accept a 5 times greater risk of developing diabetes
Live with a 5 times greater likeli-hood of having elevated blood cholesterol
Face 6 times the chance of developing gallbladder disease.
Will experience more cancer of the colon, rectum, breast, cervix, uterus, ovaries, and prostate than average weight individuals.
