Greetings,

This week Australia took out first prize.  A first prize that no country should be proud to win.

Australia now officially, has the fastest growing obesity rate of any country in the world. A massive 63% of all adults are overweight. Just as shockingly, 25% of all children are now overweight. 

As a society where have we arrived? Is it possible that in just a few years people have become a bunch of bringers? We doubt it. For hundreds of years it has not been a problem but now it is? The question needs to be asked what on earth is going on? Surely there must be a reason for all of this. 

It is estimated that the consumption of sugar per person is now reaching 26 teaspoons per day, given that a person needs around 6 for the supply of energy there is a massive oversupply of sugar. It needs to be noted that most of this consumption is processed sugars and simple carbs which processed food is loaded with. These simple carbs are converted in sugars often just minutes after ingestion. Add to this the studies that show that sugar is addictive and you might be getting some answers. 

The answer to this out of control rise in obesity is very simple. Go back to a non processed, as grown, plant strong, diet, exclude all processed foods, add in some exersize and enjoy a healthy weight and a body that is functioning at it peak performance.
