BATTLING THE BULGE

While the title indicates a focus on fitness and nutrition, this blog is dedicated to general health and wellness.  We, as a society, have become consumed with celebrity diets, flat abs, and having bodies that are desired by our best friends, potential suitors, and worst enemies.  However in our aesthetic endeavors, a large portion of our society has sacrified health and happiness for these sometimes unattainable goals.  More concerning than that growing population of folks that spend their lives in the gym trying to alter their genetic shapes, there’s a rapidly growing population of adults and children who are obese.  To me this seems like an anomaly.  We seem to be more and more consumed with “the perfect body” yet at the same time, we have the highest percentage of obese people in world history.  I’m hoping that this blog will be a place that people, regardless of where you fall on the fitness and nutrition spectrum, the novice or the seasoned veteran,  one can find motivation, innovation, perhaps a little wit, and tools to accomplish individual achievement.
