24) Point of View

For almost all the people there are essentially three times in the year when you think of the past and the future prospect is, outlining from then onwards, new objectives and targets. One is the changing seasons of the year, another is on our anniversary (may be simultaneous with one of the other) and the last case at the time of holidays.
We are therefore at the time of trying to fix past mistakes and seek to improve several points that we consider essential to our well-being and the people around us. For example, this may be the ideal time to decide to stop smoking. Increasingly people have managed to abandon a habit that proves it causes serious health problems, so all times are optimal for making this decision.
Another issue that has major impact on general health, both in mental and physical is the increase in weight. However, there is no better time to try to lose some quilitos than this. So why is the season for beach and like to be with good point. The increase in weight and obesity issues are increasingly present.
In recent years we have seen a substantial increase in people fat or obese, a situation resulting from our development, with a consequent increase in the purchasing power and access to goods and facilities that predispõem that this occurs. That is, on one hand we have access to all the food they like, on the other hand, hardly have to make any effort to "burn" some of the calories you eat, because the vast majority of the population has his own car, command of television, lift , ...
The issue of obesity is not only the aspect of the person who is at issue, but also, most importantly, their health. Everyone knows the risks and repercussions several that excess weight poses to the general health of people, an issue that obliges us to think seriously in the care we should have with the food. It is important to know what you should eat, and how to eat. So this is the ideal time to rethink their eating habits. For that you have to try to match its power to exercise that performs daily. Most of the time this will only be possible with the help of specialized technical personnel (doctor, nutritionist) and, with great determination and good sense itself. But it is essential that the strength of will, because the demands and temptations are permanent. Since the parties, the shopping and advertising are enough to discourage all. Incidentally I still have the opinion that the company now has to defend itself of the imbalances that will create.
In the case of food, knowing the negative influence that the "fast-food" has been taking on the health of the people, is beginning to be time to legislate on the subject, hindering its advertising and requiring the payment of additional fees for those who sell these products. Just as is the case with alcohol and tobacco. The cost for the health of the intake of such foods begin to be extremely high, and someone will have to put a brake on this problem.
There is an entire educational task to develop in order to enlighten the people (parents, children, uncles and grandparents) on the power best suited to take. For example, ever notice most parents (grandparents, uncles), as soon as the morning coffee, buy a package of chips and a juice for young children. As you know, it is not only the problem of obesity, but also the greatest risk for other problems appear as cárie dentistry. More nonsense could not do.
Often think that the proper diet does not involve the things that we know better, which is not true. Since it has sufficient knowledge, it is possible to combine a balanced diet. It is more or less what I said about how they should eat the candy to decrease the risk of coming to developing teeth damaged. In this case, it is known that the ingestion of a sweet at the end of the meal is much less harmful than between meals.
So it is not so difficult to trace and try to meet objectives, it is only seeking information is the best way to do it.
