The startling economic costs of obesity, often borne by the non-obese, could become the epidemic's second-hand smoke. Only when scientists discovered that nonsmokers were developing lung cancer and other diseases from breathing smoke-filled air did policymakers get serious about fighting the habit, in particular by establishing nonsmoking zones. The costs that smoking added to Medicaid also spurred action. Now, as economists put a price tag on sky-high body mass indexes (BMIs), policymakers as well as the private sector are mobilizing to find solutions to the obesity epidemic.

"As committee chairmen, Cabinet secretaries, the head of Medicare and health officials see these really high costs, they are more interested in knowing, 'what policy knob can I turn to stop this hemorrhage?'" said Michael O'Grady of the National Opinion Research Center, co-author of a new report for the Campaign to End Obesity, which brings together representatives from business, academia and the public health community to work with policymakers on the issue.

  NUTRITION TIP

Should I Eat Something Before I Go to the Gym After Work?

Eating before exercise, as opposed to exercising on an empty stomach, has been shown to improve performance. A snack eaten before a workout provides fuel for your body to function at its best. Choose a low-fat snack with carbohydrate and some protein such as low-fat yogurt with fruit, crackers and low-fat cheese or granola bar. Also, include fluids to help keep you hydrated. Try eating a light snack about two hours before you plan to workout. Timing is individual, so make adjustments to find what works best for you.


For more information, please contact Carla Campbell @ ccampbell@genesishealthclubs.com or 634-0094.
