The United States Congress is debating how to reform health care services in the United States; unfortunately, the core problem is that most Americans do not have any understanding of their health and wellness.
Despite statistics indicating that more than 50% of the American population is overweight, many people are either in denial or are unwilling to live in a state of 'poor' health, as found in a survey provided by Mintel,You are not allowed to view links.

The Mintel study determined that 70% of the people thought themselves to be in "excellent" or "good" health. Only a quarter those surveyed thought they were obese or fat. On the other hand, the respondants described themselves as having a sedentary life and poor eating habits.
These unhealthy dietary decisions have led to the conclusions of a Sept. 14 article in Circulation'using data from the U.S. Nat. Health & Nutrition Examination Surveys'showing that more than 9 out of every 10 adults are considered at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
In light of this evidence,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, how can Americans have such false perceptions? Some health industry leaders offer that the people just simply have not gotten the message.
Just two years ago, for example, Mayo Clinic published a study providing direct proof that when physicians,You are not allowed to view links.

The patients were taught how to minimize cardiovascular disease risk factors together termed "metabolic syndrome." By definition, metabolic syndrome includes increased waist circumference, higher than normal fasting glucose, high triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol (the 'good' kind), and high blood pressure.
Teaching patients can encourage them to set higher health priorities that can really improve their health condition. A physician can explain to a patient that if they are at risk for 3 out of the 5 symptoms of metabolic syndrome, then they have a high likelihood of getting cardiovascular disease.
Doctors can cousel patients to modify their lifestyle in order to minimize the risk of cardiovascular disease. The symptoms invovled in meatbolic syndrome can be mitigated by accepting a regime of exercise and weight control.
It is regrettable that according to Circulation and the Mintel survey, few healthcare practitioners educate their patients.
Reducing the horrific health trends faced by the United Statestoday will not lie in the hands of physicians, but in the hands of individual patients who must make up their minds to alter their own habits for the long-term.
