A week ago Jeanne Phillips --- also referred to as "Dear Abby" --- published a column indicating that she had outraged many of her fans when she recently suggested to some reader seeking her suggest that she get in shape.

The young woman was offended that her mother didn't want her lounging around her house inside a bikini top because she lishou was overweight. Phillips reminded the reader that she should abide by her mother's rules since it was her mother's house and oh, incidentally, she also needs to lose those extra 60 or 70 pounds.

After she was accused online of "fat shaming" by a large number of readers, Phillips known as the letter writer to apologize if she'd hurt her feelings. Apparently the author had yet to determine Phillips' response, so Phillips read it to her. Unlike the a large number of readers who told Phillips they were offended, the woman to whom the recommendation was directed told Phillips she was not. After all, she had been seeking Phillips' honest opinion.

Phillips also apologized in publications to the readers she'd offended, but she didn't back down.

"Everyone knows the many health complications associated with obesity, so I won't list them. Even though not everyone develops complications, in general, the higher an individual's weight, the greater the probability of developing them," wrote Phillips in her own Sept. 15 column.

Two days later, the U.S. Cdc and Prevention issued the results of the study published in the Journal from the Ama that confirmed Phillips' assertion.

The report specifically addresses belly fat, probably the most dangerous kind of obesity because it indicates fat has built up deep inside your body, round the liver and other abdominal organs. Unlike people whose fat has settled in thighs, buttocks along with other parts of the body, individuals with big bellies are known to operate a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes along with other obesity-related ailments for example joint and mobility problems.

Dr. Lisa Neff, a Northwestern University obesity specialist not involved in the study, explained that in contrast to body fat that lies nearer to the surface, "visceral" fat secretes 'abnormal' amounts of beneficial hormones and higher amounts of inflammatory substances related to obesity-related ailments.

If it is any comfort, many of us are in the same boat. The study showed that 54 percent of U.S. adults have abdominal obesity --- that's, a waistline in excess of 35 inches in females and more than 40 inches in males --- up from 46 percent in 1999-2000.

The average waist size for ladies was 38 inches, or an increase of two inches, and 40 inches, or perhaps an increase of just one inch, for men during the 12 years of the research.

The kicker would be that the overall degree of obesity as defined, not by waist size, but by the weight-to-height ratio of body mass index, held fairly steady. Neff noted that even when you aren't stomach fat weighs under someone whose fat is otherwise distributed, the big-bellied person faces more health risks.

Some causes cited in the study for the increase in the rate of stomach fat are sleep deprivation, medicines or even even contact with pesticides, the plastics additive BPA along with other chemicals that may mimic weight-affecting hormones.

Based on "The State of Obesity: Better Policies for any Healthier America," a task from the Trust for America's Health insurance and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Pennsylvania's adult obesity rate is 30.0 percent, up from 24.0 percent in 2004 and from 13.7 % in 1990. Delaware and Nj are among the six states where overweight problems have increased in the last year. The others are Alaska, Idaho, Tennessee and Wyoming. Twenty states now have adult obesity rates at or over 30 %.

Clearly eating less and exercising more is needed all of us get into shape but may the answer isn't so easy and needs a doctor's help. In any case, obesity really should not be overlooked like a zhen de shou health condition. Nobody loves to be preached to and losing weight isn't easy. Phillips herself admitted that they has had to contend with the battle from the bulge.

However, sticking our heads within the sand a good unhealthy epidemic doesn't serve anyone well.
