Prostate cancer expert, Dr. David Samadi, continues the discussion about obesity in America. Today more than one-third of U.S. adults are considered obese and that number is expected to climb to 42% by 2030. Also, the number of obese children has grown from 5% to 17% over the last 30 years. Dr. Samadi reminds viewers that this crisis in America is contributing to major medical expenses and the increase of high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, sleep apnea, and other medical issues among Americans. The Institute of Medicine recently recommended new steps for heightened awareness about the dangers of obesity. In addition to encouraging daily physical activity and healthy diets, they are urging doctors, schools, and the workplace to promoted lifestyle changes throughout the country.
