CDC Study: Obesity Rates Remain Stagnant in U.S.
Many individuals find that they are in a continual battle with trying to maintain a healthy body weight, take care of household chores and responsibilities, and excel within the workplace. The end result, in many instances it means failing to exercise regularly, inconsistent dietary habits, and erratic sleeping patterns.
This being all too true for many individuals, it is not surprising that for the past couple of decades, the obesity rate in the United States has been steadily increasing.
However, a new study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that the trend may finally be slowing down. Overall obesity rates for both women and men leveled off at around 36% in 2010. These rates are similar to those recorded in 2003 through 2008.
Obesity is specifically defined as having a BMI (body mass index) of at least 30 or higher. The BMI approach to determining if an individual is underweight, overweight, or within the medically approved weight range utilizes their weight and height as the variables in the calculation. The findings are the result of a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, that was conducted from 2009 through 2010.

Paula Deen’s Type 2 Diabetes Reveal Raises Health Questions
Earlier today, celebrity chef Paula Deen revealed to the NBC Today Show’s Al Roker (and the rest of the world) that she has Type 2 diabetes, a condition in which the body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels.
Paula Deen is well known for her high-fat, high-calorie, pour-on-the-sugar cooking style, which she teaches to thousands of viewers every day on her Food Network cooking show, a lifestyle under question after the Paula Deen Type 2 Diabetes reveal.
The Paula Deen Type 2 Diabetes announcement has raised some questions among both the entertainment and health industries, especially in light of the fact that she had apparently been diagnosed with the disease for over three years before making a public announcement.
Is it responsible to repeatedly tell viewers the joys of eating rich foods, such as Deen’s signature bacon/fried egg/donut burgers, while having a disease that directly stems from poor eating habits? And, for that matter, are eating habits alone responsible for Type 2 diabetes, or are there other factors at play?

Obesity Boosts Advanced Prostate Cancer Risk
It’s long been known that being heavily overweight or obese has the ability to increase your risk of contracting a wide variety of chronic and/or debilitating diseases.
Combine the health risks associated with being overweight with poor dietary habits and a lack of regular physical exercise and the probability of contracting a potentially life threatening disease increase even further.
One such disease that may increase in probability, in relation to obese men, is advanced prostate cancer, according to a new obesity and prostate cancer study published in the medical journal Annals of Oncology. The study sheds a little more light on the nature of the link between obesity and prostate cancer, a relationship that has proven to be quite complex.
Ultimately, the researchers concluded that being obese could increase your risk of advanced prostate cancer, defined as cancer that originated in the prostate and has spread to other areas of the body.
