Fruit Delivery for Natural Weight Loss
Americans were once an active and industrious people. They actually made things with their hands, instead of importing them from poorer countries. No, we aren’t getting nostalgic. But the truth is that America is headed in the wrong direction, at least when it comes to food.
A generation ago, smoking was public enemy number one. Citizens and politicians banded together to snuff out American’s leading cause of preventable death. And guess what, they did it! From 1965 to 2010, the number of adult smokers fell from nearly 50 percent to under 20 percent. Not surprisingly, the number of smoking-related deaths also declined. But at the same time, a new killer was rising through the ranks.
Obesity has replaced smoking as the number one form of preventable death in America. Two-thirds of her citizens are overweight and a full third are obese. Unfortunately, corpulence exists in a sort of gray area in American society. Some people believe obesity is inherited, while others believe it is a personal choice. Our bodies, however, do not agree.
Obesity is every bit as dangerous and irresponsible as smoking. The condition increases the risk of heart disease, type II diabetes, and certain kinds of cancer. No, we’re not saying that everyone can or even should be a size 6, but no one should be morbidly obese.
Why are Americans getting so fat? One obvious explanation is technology. We are no longer a nation that relies on muscle labor. Most Americans spend their days in front of computer screens, rather than working with their hands. This is undoubtedly a positive development from an economic standpoint, i.e., workers are earning more than they did in the past and American companies are far more efficient. But when it comes to the physical health of the nation, it is clear that more sedentary jobs are not helping.
Then there is the snacking. Americas currently get about 20 percent of their calories from snack foods. This includes sugary sodas, salty snacks, and fast food. In our humble opinion, it is this extra snacking that is mostly to blame for the recent weight gain, which is why we recommend fruit delivery as a healthy alternative.
We all know that fruit makes for a salubrious snack, but few of us actually know why. There are many reasons, but when it comes to snacking, the calories tell us all we need to know. Fruit delivery companies offer fresh fruit that is chockfull of vitamins and minerals. Not to mention the fact that fruit is more filling than demotic snacks.
Popular fruits like apples, oranges, and grapefruits are all fat and cholesterol free. They are also low in calories with only about 80 of them per serving. But what makes them more filling than bags of potato or corn chips is the fact that they have a healthy dose of dietary fiber. Ordering fresh produce from a fruit delivery company is easy and affordable with the help of the internet.
