public officials must be examples of a healthy lifestyle. That’s what made the U.S. superpower that uses the U.S. first lady Michelle Obama for a campaign against obesity.

Obesity has made the country spend billions of dollars. Obesity has become epidemic, not only adult children begin to get symptoms.

Obama administration was determined to reduce the causes of obesity in children, and find out what can be done by the people at home, school and work place to prevent this obesity epidemic.

“The number of Americans who have to struggle with her weight so that no health risk conditions associated with being overweight is still too high,” said Michelle Obama, as quoted by Reuters on Friday (29/1/2010).

Recommendations can be given to prevent obesity starts with eating more fruits and vegetables, as well as improve the quality of physical education at various schools so that children become more active.

Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius Obama revealed that the government has invested U.S. $ 650 million in health and other programs aimed at preventing obesity and quit smoking programs.

In addition, Obama also create a white building parks for the children of local schools. Given that the solution to prevent the obesity epidemic can not come from government alone, each person must be willing to engage in a campaign to avoid a crisis in public health.

“This will not be easy and can not happen overnight. And it’s also not going to be a simple thing, although using the first woman in the U.S. as a priority,” Obama said in his speech at the recreation center in Alexandria, outside Washington.

Given data showed two-thirds of U.S. adults and one in three children overweight and obesity. These conditions increase the health risks such as diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases.

“The United States must spend nearly U.S. $ 150 million related to the problem of obesity and its complications as well as two-fold higher than in 1998. This could make us as a nation that is not healthy,” Sebelius said.

Cincinnati, young mothers who have children choose a new nursing techniques to lose weight. Researchers found breast-feeding activity can indeed effectively lose weight because it can burn more than 500 calories.

Mothers who had just given birth and are breastfeeding may not be assumed that they burn more calories than women who went to the gym.

“If breastfeeding is routine for 6 months, likely will thin more quickly after giving birth,” said Karen Wosje, professor pedriatik of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center as reported by Chicagotribune, Tuesday (19/1/2010).

However, not all postpartum women can get slim body with diet feeding.

“Every day my breast pump to get milk to be thin after giving birth. In fact I have 2 refrigerators to store my milk supply, but my weight did not fall-down, too,” said one woman.

The problem is, the more milk produced, the higher the nursing mother of appetite. That’s because production of the hormone prolactin, which stimulates appetite. In addition, stress factors and the lack of activity could also inhibit the effectiveness of the diet feeding.

For that, which must be done is to multiply the activity. “You can not just rely on breastfeeding to be thin. Without doing any other activity, it was useless.’s Diet feeding can burn calories, but many other factors that influence,” said Professor Karen.

Diet proved effective breastfeeding mothers who are nursing. Therefore, some researchers were inspired to apply these techniques in women who do not breastfeed.

“As long as the same principles and technique, we suspect feed diet can also be useful for helping women who are overweight. But need further study to prove it,” said Prof. Karen.
