Americans fatter than they were
Since the health issue is on the agenda today with more of water and less of red meat and smoke, people should be thinner. But, instead, studies suggest that Americans are consuming 200 to 300 more calories per day than what they were three decades ago.
Drinking making you fat
Drinking in a broader sense, not limited only to the consumption of alcohol, has increased potentially. Research indicates that four out of 10 grocery products bought happen to be the beverages like milk, soda, juice, beer, etc. The most popular one – soda has tripled during last 30 years. The soda is believed to be the one out of the major factors responsible for the occurrence of obesity in the United States.
Used as a sweetener in various beverages such as sods, fruit juice, or energy drinks – High-fructose corn syrup may really be the factor making you fat. In this syrup the additional sweetness is supposed to be the appetite stimulator. The body is unable to digest the sweet syrup the same way it can in the case of other sugars. Present studies show insulin resistance, rise in triglycerides, and high blood pressure to be the results of large amount of fructose. The National Soft Drink Association argues that the “sweet” addiction never induces hunger pains, and that the simple reason for weight gain of the Americans is their overeating and less exercise.
Decreased smoking rates increase the portion sizes
The smoking ratio has decreased during past two decades including every age group with a real realization that smoking is injurious to health. Smoking causes appetite reduction and speeding up of the metabolism. In addition, the lighting up while smoking increases the insulin levels; and as the smoke enters the blood, the body burns more sugar instead of storing sugar as fat. This is a theory why people feel hungrier when they quit smoking. Thus, the ex-smoker tends to eat bigger portions. Most of the commercial food products go beyond the FDA and USDA guidelines on what the standard size of a portion should be. Moreover, restaurant advertisements suggest larger meals as per the marketing campaigns; larger plates are used by the chefs in addition to the big-size muffin tins and pans for cooking, preparing, and serving the food.
