Most people who have never visited America always think that
most people here are healthier than those of their own country. Well, it’s very
far away from the truth. Americans are healthier than the people of most other
countries but we are not as healthy as they should have been. Most Americans
have enough money to buy them as much health food as they can consume, buy an
expensive gym membership, visit top class nutritionists, dieticians and they
have the best doctors in the world and the money to visit them whenever they
wish to.
The problem with other most other countries is that they
don’t have access to the facilities that Americans do have, still America is
no.18 when it comes to obesity. Carbohydrates are what most Americans do avoid.
You will hear that from almost every American that a diet full of Carbohydrates
is bad for you but still the people here are so obese. People in most other
countries don’t even know what carbohydrates are.
Drug problem is another thing ruining the health of
Americans. About 10% of the population is addicted to illegal drugs. Beer
drinking is something that we consider very normal here. It’s like drinking a
soft drink in an Asian country. You will
find kids as low as 8 year old drinking beer secretly. When somebody looks at a
guy with a big belly, he/she will not call him a guy with a belly rather they
call it a beer belly. Beer consumption is so immense that you literally assume
that if a person has a belly then it must be due to drinking a lot of beer. I
even know a guy who doesn’t eat anything unhealthy, he eats only health food
but the funny thing is that he uses beer as a pre-workout and he does cardio 3
days a week. His addiction to beer is what made him so obese.
Most Americans drink soft drinks more than water. What can
be worse than this! One study says that 64.5% of the Americans are obese. Paid
studies have made America the biggest wine market of the world. Wine or Whiskey
consumption is the biggest reason for liver problems. Most studies will not
tell you that.
Many doctors claim that human is a natural hunter and it’s
unnatural for a human to eat vegetables or fruits. These day-dreaming doctors
are the biggest reason for America’s obesity. If it is only natural for humans
to eat meat then why is eating meat linked to a lot of diseases. Eating too
much meat may lead to heart disease, kidney disease, osteoporosis, and even
cancer. The biggest cause of pancreatic cancer is believed to be a lot of meat
consumption. Saturated fat and cholesterol is extremely high in any meat.
Many Americans have also stopped eating healthy as they
think that they are getting their daily dose of vitamins, minerals and protein
from the supplements. They don’t know that the scientists till date haven’t
been able to discover more than 95% of the vitamins and minerals that is
available in a regular health meal.
