Show Vernal Expreii Wednesday, August 26, 1992 9 To Your Health by the Uintah Basin Public Health Department Healthy eating, healthy weight Stect r". X f : I o t 'ft H 1 , Note: The information in this column col-umn is not meant to replace advice from your physician. Discuss any changes in diet and activity level with your doctor. According to the National Institute of Health, one-fourth to one-third of American adults are overweight. Recent statistics reveal that while half the adults in America are dieting, only one out of two are truly overweight Whether your weight is "healthy" depends on how many of your pounds are fat, where that fat is located lo-cated and whether you have weight-related weight-related medical problems, such as high blood pressure, or a family history his-tory of such problems. Excess fat in the abdomen is believed be-lieved to be a greater health risk than fat in the hips and thighs. A look at your profile in the mirror may be enough to tell you whether you have too much fat through your middle. The typical American receives an estimated 40 percent of his or her daily calories from fat. The fat you eat is the fat you wear. A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study has shown that simply reducing reduc-ing fat calories to 20 percent of daily dai-ly caloric intake can make a significant signifi-cant difference in the amount of body fat we carry. Instead of counting count-ing calories, count the fat grams in a food. Keep the fat grams to 30 or under for the day and you will be at 20 percent of calories from fat. Simply reducing the total amount of fats in a diet-even while maintaining main-taining the same amount of calories-can lead to slow, steady weight loss. Combine this with moderate exercise, and the weight is more likely to stay off. Even a genetic predisposition toward obesity can be more or less overcome by consistent con-sistent exercise and sensible eating habits. The fact that childhood obesity has increased 50 percent the last 20 years, according to Dr. William Dietz at Tufts University Medical School, sends a clear warning that for some Americans overeating-and eating the wrong foods-becomes a lifestyle at a very early age. What is a healthy weight? The 1990 Dietary Guidelines for Americans offer a range of weights according to age and height for optimal op-timal health. And new research indicates in-dicates that healthy weights may vary with age. Body weight alone is not the most sensitive indicator of who needs to lose weight and who doesn't. And remember, no one plan for losing weight is best for everyone. ev-eryone. You might not even need to lose weight, depending on age, height, weight, body shape and other oth-er criteria. Talk to your doctor to identify your particular needs.
