We asked some leading nutrition experts about the causes of obesity and to show us the best strategies in the fight against the pounds. More than half of US population are too fat – are they all weak-willed and can’t resist eating even if they know it isn’t good for them? Although for years huge sums of money are invested in health education yearly and the consumption of diet products is increasing steadily, the obese US citizen fills per day on average 500 calories too much on his plate.

With serious consequences – more than 55 percent of citizens are too fat, about 80 million people are classified as obese and require treatment, and already one in three school child takes too much on the scale. Many of those who keep trying desperately for years to get their weight under control find themselves as complete failures.

But they are not, however: The researchers relieve the helplessly fat people in some way. They got the results and know now that that obesity arises from a jigsaw of factors. “The man has a natural tendency to get fat because our bodies are still programmed to save energy for times of food shortage. Only those who had full fat stores could survive,” says Phillip Potrc, Master of Pharmacy and well-renowned nutritionist.

This overall survival program is the personal genetic predisposition. Research shows that genes play an important role.  “There are men and women who have a higher energy consumption or faster than others and so they remain slim.” However, few of the millions of overweight people worldwide are fat simply because of their heredity, diet concludes nutritionist Potrc.

Food is everywhere

The plump truth is – we live in a fat promoting environment. Food is available around the clock, it is cheap, and we do not have to work hard to satisfy our appetite. Opening the refrigerator door or lifting the handset meet in order to get the food virtually without a single calorie spent. The food industry makes grat money, making us fat. The more we eat, the more they earn.

This leads to more and more seductive advertising messages and bigger portions. But no one is helpless in this fate. The battle against excess pounds – you can win it! And much easier than you think.

There are many things on this world which have a cancer preventing effect. Foods like berries, green tea or fish, but according to Finnish scientists endurance is the most important cancer preventing factor for men. This is particularly true for lung and colon cancer. The scientists observed a group of 2,560 male Finns for 17 years and  the study showed that the most active men less likely fall ill by cancer.

The more intense the better

Interestingly, it came on the endurance – the more fatigue making the sport, the more protection it offers. Men, who are jogging daily for half an hour can reduce the risk of dying early from cancer to 50 percent, said Sidhir Kurl, a study author and medical director at the University of Kuopio. The observation that exercise has preventive effects, is not in itself surprising, but the fact that it obviously depends on the intensity of physical effort is new. As the Finnish study shows, the most exhausting sports are responsible for the highest level of cancer prevention. Do you need another reason to start with doing sports?
