This is becoming an epidemic, were fast food joint everywhere, and were spending $135 billion a year eating that junk what is happening to us. We are becoming a nation of obese and sick individuals who are living only for today and not worrying about the outcome of tomorrow. What a sad truth to the matter is, the number of American adults with diabetes could double or triple by the year 2020, but is supposed to be that way, by the year 2050. By the way we are going in 2020 is where diabetes will overtake one in three adults. It’s an all-time epidemic. These are alarming numbers that show how crucial it is and how prevalent type II diabetes really is and with medical costs skyrocketing, something needs to be done about the prevention because without it, it’s like have an American Express card with an open balance an the American public will abuse it to the Max and pay for it with bad health. The only way to overcome this is through education and prevention in understanding the right food choices. It’s a staggering fact one in 10 Americans have diabetes but the truth is, the average American walking around is a diabetic and does not realized he or she is a diabetic something has to be done. According to the CDC the total cost of diabetes in the United States are an estimate of 174 billion annually, including the hundred 16 billion in direct medical costs, that’s a lot of hamburgers and french fries and junk food, is it really worth your eating that type of food to have major medical complications. When you look at diabetes, It remains leading cause of new cases of blindness under the age of 75. Also preventable leg and foot amputations among adults in the United States. If only we would look after our total well-being. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, diabetes it’s leading cause of kidney failure and increases the risk for colorectal cancer. It effect are felt because one out of every 10 healthcare dollars is spent on diabetes. The cure for type II diabetes is known remove the cause and reverse the disease.
