Most of us (if not all) know that obesity is an important issue that needs to be resolved. According to the Global InfoBase of the World Health Organization (WHO), there is a prevalence of 35.1% of obesity among people between 20 and 74 years old in the United States. As you can find on the WHO webpage, there are several well-known risks caused by obesity, including: diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In conclusion, we know that overweight and obesity are real issues that need attention.
If you google "weight loss", you will have around 101 millions of links. As you can see, nowadays, weight loss programs and products are a big industry. Of course, not all of these products and programs are good for the people that take them. You may have already come across these facts. Ok, now, if you google "weight gain", you will have around 49 millions of links. Do you see the difference? There is less information for the people who want to gain weight. This makes sense, since there is less people interested in gaining weight.
Whenever I tell my friends that I want to gain weight, the common reaction is: Why?! Then I tell them: Well, because I don't want to look too skinny. Even though there is less information about healthy ways to gain weight, I'm sure there are a lot of people interested in this topic! This is why I will be posting a couple of articles that talk about healthy ways to gain weight AND build muscles.
I'm going to post 3 articles that are included in this topic. The first one will talk about why some people do not gain weight easily (for example, explaining different types of metabolism and body structures); the second one will talk about specific food and meals for gaining weight (in a healthy way, of course!) and the third one will talk about specific sports and work-out's routines for building muscles.
I hope you are interested in the information I will be posting!

Hey Emily.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a great topic. Some of my friends have problems gaining weight and it's an issue that is less commonly portrayed in the news media.
