Suburbs Spawn Abdominal Sprawl

Posted on August 30, 2003 by glasscastle

 

Suburban sprawl appears to be contributing to the nation’s obesity epidemic,
making people less likely to walk and more likely to be overweight, researchers
reported yesterday.

In the first comprehensive examination of whether suburbs spreading across
the U.S. landscape are affecting Americans’ health, the researchers studied
more than 200,000 people in 448 counties, producing the first concrete
evidence supporting suspicions that sprawl is aggravating the nation’s
growing weight crisis.

People who live in the most spread-out areas spend fewer minutes each month
walking and weigh about six pounds more on average than those who live
in the most densely populated places. Probably as a result, they are almost
as prone to high blood pressure as cigarette smokers, the researchers found.

    I was wondering, do you know if this picture is copyrighted? Or maybe who the owner is so I can ask for permission? I’d appreciate any information you can give me. Thanks.

    Only the abdominal workouts can eliminate fats around the abdomen of these guys. I’d just suggest six pack the best solution for them.

    There is no use brandishing Spawn Abdominal Sprawls guys, you get beaten up badly by the sumo wrestlers. Instead get serious and lose some weight.

    They say that it is impossible to target an area for slimming. This group would be the perfect place to do that research. But I am pretty sure the guy on the right end could not do a sit up

    Hey! I resemble that remark! But seriously, that picture is not far off from the truth in many cases and is actually getting worse. I hear its even worse in England than here, dunno if that’s possible though.

    Really I think they need more than just abs exercises.
