HCG Diet Direct Cites Danger of Obesity in Comparison to Smoking::

HCG Diet Direct cites the danger of obesity in comparison to the danger of smoking. A new study indicates that obesity is more dangerous to the health of both individuals and society as a whole than smoking. The Obesity Society provides information on the issue regularly. The rate of smoking has fallen in the last 15 years by more than 15%. In comparison the rate of obesity has jumped (during the same time period) by more than 85%.

Jenny Boynton of HCG Diet Direct responded, “These numbers are staggering. It’s one thing to wonder if a habit is going to cause irrevocable damage to your health. It’s quite another to know it’s going to cause irreversible damage. That’s the situation we have on our hands at this point. The study indicated that obesity can shorten the average lifespan by approximately 12 years.”

In addition to causing damage to the health of a large number of individuals the obesity epidemic costs the health care system hundreds of billions of dollars.

Possible actions to stop the spread of the obesity epidemic include:
1.    Decreasing the amount of unhealthy food available for purchase with food stamps
2.    Taxes on fast food and/or soda

Some experts do not believe this type of action will succeed. Instead they indicate that the responsibility for the obesity epidemic doesn’t fall on food choices, but on lack of activity in the daily lives of the average American.

HCG Diet Direct considers that amongst the available alternatives, homeopathic HCG diet weight loss programs will continue to gain popularity. More and more consumers are becoming aware of the negative effects of obesity and overweight issues on personal health. The new awareness is leading more consumers towards natural methods of weight loss to lengthen lifespan and increase the quality of life.
