Of the most problematic concerns in modern society as it relates to health and fitness is that very obvious solutions exist but few can ?see? them. Most matters are solved with a relative simplified approach but with the public so accustomed to complexities that come with clever marketing campaigns those ?simple? tactics are rarely respected.
The straightest of straight facts is that nations will be brought to their financial knees within a lifetime due to escalating healthcare costs. Healthcare costs within the United States are expected to treble by 2015 with estimated national of $4 trillion of which $950 billion is associated to obesity. Let me stress that nations and business will not be ?taxed? but devastated with the soaring healthcare costs of an aging and obese nation and therefore this must become ?target number one? of the fitness industry.
The other straight and hard fact is the public does not recognise or appreciate the path it needs to take, and while also being adversarial of being provided direction that requires discipline, it will need to have a plan spelt out with very succinct steps. This naturally will raise the ire of many yet the fact of the matter is in many circles living and eating healthy is not appreciated. Before you scoff at such a statement, a quick glance at most grocers serves as an abundance of packaged foods with fresh produce in significantly lower proportion and if you need further, simply look toward the line-up that forms in a fast-food drive-through.
You reap what you sow and for many years the standard of food has dropped, with younger generations not knowing the difference. Solutions are simple but the majority of the public has been taught to consume processed foods not suitable for the family pet and instead of joining hands across a table, picks up their order on a plastic box, on a plastic tray and still does not realise the quality of life has tumbled.
For workplace fitness and health matters for those who work in physically demanding jobs this is further complicated due the availability of health food options during business hours. Whether it is lunch room vending machines or on-site cafeterias, few provide nutritionally balanced meals and the naturally fast-foods are effectively a nail in the coffin.
Though in an optimal situation, individual bringing healthy lunches from home, and I will hold off on the conditions of many work establishment kitchens, is obviously the best option the future of proactive healthcare involves the employer providing improved services.
The reason is simple for if not, the cost of healthcare for companies will sky-rocket and productivity will suffer, further reducing the firms? ability to compete. Given soaring health care costs, no business cannot manage the cost of an unfit work force and must take a proactive role via a workplace fitness model. The costs of implementing such a program have been proven to offer a ten-fold return on investment and an obvious decision by any business manager.
This is not to say responsibility has shifted out of the individuals hands, far from it but it is time to take a big deep breath and realise the system of learned habits have failed and entrenched deeply within at least two generations is poor dietary habits. However for those interested in make a serious step forward towards their health and fitness goals, it is important to address the biggest dietary problems during the work day. Within the ?simplicity? plan, recall the three far-reaching positive habit forming decisions:
- Never consume processed foods. Consume nothing that comes from a box or soft drinks.
- Drive by the drive-through. No ?take-away? or ?fast foods?.
- Consume ten to fifteen servings of fruits and vegetables each day as a minimum and where possible choose from organic sources! The best snack food comes from Mother Nature, so please doubly sure to avoid processed foods.
