Finally, we have some good news on our fight against obesity. Recent studies have found that there has been a plateau in the rate of obesity. It is no longer rising and remember, just like weight loss, we need to stop gaining before we can lose! Why has this phenomena occurred – most government agencies say that people are beginning to exercise more, are choosing more healthy snacks and meals and most importantly, reading labels! We now have more information out there on the foods we choose to help us make better and healthier choices.
This is just the beginning of a wonderful trend and we have to continue to educate and get the word out – healthy food choices, increased physical activity lead to healthier and happier lives!!!
This is great news for everyone across this country, but, for those in the Northeast, it is not overshadowed by the prospect of the Jets going to the super-bowl… get ready for great tips on super bowl treats from Sari!
