Here is an example of an article we recently published on the latest news surrounign fizzy drinks. If you, or you know anyone that likes fizzy drinks then keep reading for latest research.

The mayor of New York is planning to ban the sale of high calorie drinks over a certain volume in public food outlets. All restaurants, cinemas, sports facilities and even street carts would not be allowed to sell fizzy drinks over 16 fluid ounces which is just under 500ml. This amount still contains 16 teaspoons of sugar and about 400 calories, but a drink of this size or more will not curb your desire for food as a 400 calorie snack will, so it is certainly a step in the right direction in improving public health. If the proposal is supported by New York’s Board of Health and the public it will be imposed early next year and outlets will be fined if they do not adhere to the rule.

In response to the obesity epidemic sweeping the USA and the rest of the world, the mayor has promoted various health drives in the city such as the banning of transfats in food and the compulsory labelling of calories in fast-food outlets.

These and other campaigns have been voluntarily copied in the UK and worldwide in light of governmental bodies recognising the need to promote healthier habits amongst the public. Since obesity is associated with increases in the numbers of people suffering from type 2 diabetes an advertising campaign was launched in New York highlighting the hazards of type 2 diabetes and its association with obesity.

Evidence suggests that sugary drinks are a substantial factor in the obesity epidemic and to combat the worrying statistic that 40% of pupils in New York schools are obese, fizzy drinks are now not available in public schools. David Katz, the editor of the Child Obesity journal welcomes Bloomberg’s initiative and notes the increase in the number of children between the ages of 5 to 14 who are suffering from strokes linked with excess weight.

It is clear that high calorie fizzy drinks are the biggest factor in causing the rise in levels of obesity during the last 10 years. Since 1955 the size of fizzy drinks containers in McDonalds has increased by a humungous 457% which no doubt reflects the super-size culture and the resulting super-size population. The super-sized containers made famous by such documentaries such as Supersize Me which highlighted the promotion of larger portions in McDonalds would be a thing of the past and any beverages with more than 25 calories per 8 fluid ounces would be included in the ban.

Our team of personal trainers in Leeds are welcoming this proposal as an important step in curbing the increase in numbers of people who are overweight and hope the UK government do something similar. Presently, over half of the adults in New York are obese and trends predict that this proportion will increase unless steps are taken to promote healthier living. Nevertheless, not everyone is supportive and a huge backlash from companies producing fizzy drinks is expected.

The New York City Beverage Association was quick to deplore the mayor’s plans and critics have labelled Michael Bloomberg as Nanny-in-Chief. But if the public are not taking adequate responsibility for their health then who will? If something isn’t done about the major problem of obesity then the health of the public is at serious risk with the knock on effect of soaring health costs. Unless tackled it is estimated that by 2030 42% of the North American population will suffer from obesity.

Not everyone has the nutritional knowledge, expertise in appropriate exercising or the motivation to improve their health and fitness, so the input from an expert can be a welcome help to a growing problem. In Leeds and much of the UK many are taking their health into their own hands by taking the first step of recognising that it is not always best to improve your health and fitness on your own.

A personal trainer can prevent you from losing weight in an unhealthy way. Our personal trainers in leeds can help ensure that you maintain a healthy weight and you compliment your improved diet with an exercise regime that will increase muscle mass which will in turn burn more calories within safe limits.
