Obesity Numbers Higher Than...

Obesity is not going away.

There's a new survey from JAMA Internal Medicine that shows there's a higher number of Americans who are obese rather than overweight.

I live in Southern California ... home to a big vegan and weight loss culture.

That said, we see obesity everywhere.

BMIs are on the rise, yet most people don't even calculate their BMI.

What is your BMI?

If you really want to embrace health, you have to make smart choices all day long every day.

This idea that cheat days are fine has expanded our waist lines.  One cheat day turns into two which turns into a week.  We stop going to the gym and we sit on the couch ticking away on our computers.

Honestly, I think a lot of the high obesity numbers have to do with sedentary lifestyles that encourage us to live on our computers instead of socializing with real human beings.

This is why I wholeheartedly believe in the standing desk.  If you have to be on the computer all day long for your work, you might as well invest in a standing desk with promotes health and movement rather than a completely sedentary lifestyle for eight or more hours a day.

Stand up against obesity... with the standing desk!
