Obesity from fat and sugar-laden diets and lazy, sedentary lifestyles. Eat less, eat healthier and exercise more.
By the way, I'm from Colorado, the least obese state in the country, but I'm ruining their reputation.
Poverty and obesity are strongly correlated, and that people with more education are less likely to be obese. In 2008, 13.2 percent of Americans were living below the poverty line. In Colorado, that number was 11.4 percent, or 18th-best in the nation. But seeing how concentrated the most obese states are in the deep southern states, is obesity associated with Republican voters? Go to a Republican rally there and tell me obesity is not rampant there.
The most obese states also had the highest rates of chronic disease. The report showed that an average of 35.8 percent of Americans who live in the 10 most obese states have high blood pressure and 28.2 percent of Americans who live in the 10 most obese states have high cholesterol. The depression rate is 20.7 percent, the diabetes rate is 14.3 percent, the cancer rate is 7.8 percent and heart attack rate is 5 percent among residents in these 10 states, as well.
Meanwhile, the average percentage of residents living in the 10 least obese states with high blood pressure is 26.4 percent; the average percentage of residents with high cholesterol in these states is 23.2 percent. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/05/obese-states-most-least_n_4896517.html
