| Facts about obesity
There are over 60 million obese adults in the United States carrying
an excess of 2.3 billlion bounds of fat! The percentage of Americans
who are obese has increased from 14% in 1980 to over 30%!. The percent of children ages 6 to 11 who
are obese has more than doubled since 1980. More alarming, the percent of obese
adolescents has more than tripled since 1980. What this translates
to is that type II diabetes, previously considered an adult disease,
has increased dramatically in our children.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Because of obesity our children
will have a shorter life expectancy than our generation. The American lifestyle is killing our kids. Lack of
exercise and eating too much of the wrong foods have created major
health problems, increasing the risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart
attacks, strokes and some types of cancer.
These obesity related illnesses are overwhelming our health care
system. It has been estimated that the cost of treating type II
diabetes and its complications is over $63 billion dollars a year.
The cost of treating the other illnesses mentioned is around $ 30 billion dollars a year. This adds up to
almost $100 billion dollars a year spent to treat diseases that could have been prevented by a healthier
lifestyle.

diet” that you read about or saw on television? You should have learned by now that none of these

back. Nevertheless billions of dollars a year are spent on diets. How do we break this
chain? TriEnergetics is the answer. |
