Ear Infections, Terrorism & Obesity

These three terms have to be the most unlikely combination of maladies that can be put together in a single sentence, but yet they do have a connection- one provided by obesity itself.

Let us begin with ear infections.

U.S. scientists found a link between children who contract an affliction called recurrent otitis media and taste affecting nerves that are damaged in similar infections. Something as minor as infected tonsils could also affect the weight gain problems faced by certain people.

An advanced form of the infection mentioned above, otitis externa is already known to affect tendencies towards obesity due to its origin, which is in type II diabetes. So if you are a candidate for some weight loss training or a regime for a personalized diet in Los Angeles, it would do you good to inform your personal trainer is you are suffering from any of these conditions.

Across the Atlantic, health experts in Britain are warning the populace that the growing levels of obesity are akin to the threat posed to the nation by terrorism. While it is a bold statement to make, the NHS is worried that by 2025, the rate of people suffering from type II diabetes is going to double up.

Little Things That help You Workout (and function) Better

The new Speedo LZR swimsuit, trees, the Eiffel Tower, the airways in the human body and a host of other objects around us are proponents of the constructal theory. Wrapping this theory in spare words- all these objects are designed, constructed or formed in a manner as to encourage flow.

The More Your Tots Grow, The Less Exercise They Get – New Study

Wonderful, just what parents need. As if the child and adolescent obesity problem wasn’t enough!

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 15-year-olds got less than a third of the recommended level of exercise for their age. On the other hand, 90 percent of the children aged 9 and 11 met the recommended levels of exercise for their age.

This is serious reason to be alarmed parents, especially because once children slip into adolescence, they are less impressionable where instilling healthy weight habits are concerned. Considering that puberty is the main time for bones and muscles to achieve a solid growth, maintaining a healthy diet and exercise pattern for your child becomes even more imperative.

The federal issued Dietary Guidelines for Americans considers it essential that children and adolescents spend at least 60 minutes of physical activity for seven days a week. While this is no doubt going to help them establish a healthy weight loss and weight control pattern in their later years, it will surely help their developing bodies.

Do not ignore the rising threat of obesity parents, look for healthy weight loss diet and weight loss personal training options like the ones offered by Body Makeovers through the Children’s Program.
