Omega-3’s and disease prevention
The more we learn about omega-3’s, the more amazing they seem: how can something so simple, so affordable, and so readily available be so good for us? Because of their anti-inflammatory properties, omega-3’s have been linked with prevention and treatment of a whole host of health problems, including:

Heart disease
Stroke
High cholesterol
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Obesity
Arthritis
Osteoporosis Depression/bipolar disorders
Schizophrenia
Alzheimer’s
ADHD
Burns
Skin disorders
Asthma
Breast, colon, and prostate cancers
This list goes on and on.

Sometimes it makes me so sad when I see severely overweight adults (which it is there right if they want to live that way) raising young severly overweight children. It just makes me sad that this isnt considered a form of child abuse. They are most likely setting that child up for years of health problems like juvenile diabetes, asthma, heart conditions, and even mental illnesses like low self esteem.

What do you think should be done to help curb child obesity?
typo/clarification: (which it is their right (the parents) to live their life how they want to)

I am doing the research paper on obesity in America and the several factors that contribute to obesity such as; temptation or proximity to fast-food restaurants, low-income, shortage of time lack of education and perhaps even genetics depending on the amount of information i have. Another question can my research paper be cause and effect because I could use some effects of obesity such as low self-esteem, health problems and so on. if yes what else could i use?
Thank you

Hello, everyone. I am 22 years old. My height is 161 cm (5′4") and my weight is 110 kgs (247lbs). My problem is that I gain weight very easily. I tried several diets but my weight loss is very very difficult. I always lose much less weight than the average weight loss for that diet. Once I stop dieting, I gain weight quickly and usually end up fatter than I started. I compare what I eat and the quanities with people I know and I am a very average eater. My level of exercise is moderate, too. I have no health problems or diseases. My immunity is weak when it comes to catching the flu and things like that. I was a chubby kid, but since puberty, I started becoming really obese. Could it be my glands? Could some hormone be in imbalance in my body? A friend told me that as she knows that I eat too little for my weight. What are the probabilities of something wrong there? What kinds of treatment are used? Is it safe? Any side effects? Is it effective? Please share anything you know. Thanks!

Which one is hurting America’s economy more? With all of the health problems that occur with obesity is it fair to say that it is hurting us more, less, or just the same? Should medical and health insurances concentrate more on weight management?
