Obesity Related Cancers on the Rise

While you don’t need another absolute valid reason to lose weight, The Center for Disease Control has a new report that states that obesity related cancers made up about 40 percent of all cancers diagnosed in the United States in 2014. The need to lose weight to for a healthier you is justification enough and you certainly don’t need the word cancer to be added to the list of reasons why.

I was surprised to hear that blacks and whites are at a higher rate of weight-related cancers than other racial or ethnic groups as well. We must be vigilant to be control of our health to have a better life and be there for our loved ones.  We can see from today’s news that life is fragile and can be drastically altered at any moment.
