Recent weight facts:

According to recent surveys, approximately one third of the population in Australia and other developed countries are overweight. Hereditary factors and metabolism do influence weight but research has indicated that for many of us, it is the type of foods we consume rather than how much of it we actually eat. This is where the problem lies.

Incorrect diet and increased body weight are major factors in the health problems we face today. Heart disease, high blood pressure, liver damage and emotional disorders are but a few. People who have a weight problem complain of less energy and general feelings of un-wellness not to mention that the heart has to work harder to pump blood through more body mass. This can lead to the subsequent shortening of the heart's life span.
