A
CALL TO ACTION: THE STATE OF HEALTH…BEYOND
CRITICAL
Bad Health in
America today has gone beyond epidemic proportions. How did we get to this
point where over half of America is obese? In today’s society many children are
diabetics, which is totally insane. Is the economy that bad that we are forced
to eat from dollar, value and combination fast food menus? Are we that focused
in the pursuit of the money where we loose sight of what’s happening to our
health? No worry go right ahead pursue the dollar, forget about your health,
because you’re going to need all the money you can to take care of you, your
siblings and friends all because of self inflicted health problems that could
have been prevented through exercise or just a little daily activity.
Being sedentary, lazy, depressed, forgetting
about moderation and the BIG ONE YOUR DIET, I could go on and on with excuses,
but we all know that’s not going to change anything…action will. The more we
advance in technology it seems the worst our health gets. The television,
internet and gaming (video games) are crippling America’s health. But, I can’t really put the blame there
because it’s all about over indulgence and moderation of one’s self. We watch
monitors hours a day working, playing games or surfing the net. There a lot of you sit not evening thinking
about taking a break to get some physical activity. Do something, don’t just sit there. The games
are the worst cause in the increase of bad health in adults but severe in the
youth population. People play games for
hours a day, eating junk food and drinking sodas with sugar, sodium and caffeine,
without a thought of doing any physical activity. I remember going to a restaurant one morning
for breakfast, a group of Junior High and High School students were talking
about what great games they played the previous day. They spoke what spectacular moves executed at
the winning moments of the game.
Noticing the size and body fat percentage, all were definitely over 30%, the only kind of spectacular moves I could imagine was
hand to mouth, quickness and consumption.
After reveling in the moment of their individual victories playing Play
Station and Xbox, they all sat down and had an unhealthy breakfast of cheese
burgers, fries, cokes and milk shakes. Their thumbs had gotten the greatest workout
of their lives. Adults do the same what
examples are we setting. We wonder why there are children that are type 1 and
type 2 diabetic, going to school with insulin, needles and pumps. While
attending the California School Board Association Conference/Trade Show one of
the major concerns was the state of health among children and young
adults. Why would a so called
sophisticated and intelligent country such as United States Of
America cut health and fitness programs in schools, causing an increase in bad
health, surpassing epidemic levels and not having a health care program to take
of health problems that could have been prevented.
America take

So go ahead be
successful, success is great but remember to keep balance and take of your
health. Chasing the dollar, eating bad;
stressing and being unbalanced is a recipe for disaster which can sometimes be
fatal.
I know…how? My younger brother, the baby in
the family, I loved him infinitely, graduated with honors from Michigan State
University, one of Ford Motor Companies top engineers, member of four civil
rights and union trade committees and recently elected Trustee . He died of instantly of a massive heart
attack………
