A huge number of people are overweight in the world today. In fact, it's becoming one of the biggest problems, especially in Western countries. We have never had as much food available to us, at such cheap prices, and with automation of so much of our work, we are getting less exercise than in the past. With so much food available cheaply it is no wonder that we overeat.
Trying to lose weight can be very difficult, especially for those, who have a chronic obesity problem. As you become bigger, it becomes more difficult to exercise, so becoming a never-ending problem. These days, bariatric surgeons are recommending weight loss surgery, for those most at risk of health problems. However, we really don't know, what the outcome will be, for people having the surgery, in the long-term. After all, we are losing some of our organs, and at this stage they cannot be replaced.
Recently it's been found that vitamin D deficiency is associated with obesity. A recent study has shown vitamin D to be important when starting a weight loss plan. The outcome of these studies found that higher vitamin D levels predicted greater weight loss, especially of abdominal fat. As we know, abdominal fat is the most dangerous, and predicts problems with our hearts later on in life.
Many Americans are already deficient in vitamin D, because we are heeding medical advice to stay out of the sun. Vitamin D is delivered into our body, through spending time in the sun. New advice tells us to spend 10 to 15 minutes every day in the sun. Get your blood tested, to find out if you are deficient in vitamin D and if so, your doctor will probably recommend that you take vitamin D tablets, which should help with weight loss and a number of other issues.
