The obesity rate in the United States is climbing at an absolutely incredible pace. It's estimated that roughly 40% of all adults in the United States are obese, and a further 30% are at least overweight. The statistics are unsettling, especially with how many diseases have been linked to elevated body weight. Being overweight or obese dramatically increases the odds of developing type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, heart disease, and even certain cancers.
Unfortunately, many societal factors have hindered efforts to promote physical fitness. We're surrounded by endless meal options, and some of the most unhealthy are often also the easiest to get and the cheapest. The work-work-work habit of many Americans often doesn't leave much room for an exercise routine, especially when the majority of adults report feeling chronically stressed. It's a combination of factors that makes it incredibly easy to gain weight and harder to lose it. Now, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug for the treatment of obesity, but it's actually not new at all.
