TOP TEN WAYS YOUR ENVIRONMENT IS MAKING YOU (and you family) FAT by Julia Stewart

6. Do you hire other folks to do your chores? Now that American workers (including women) are producing more then ever, we have more money, but less time. Lots of us are hiring other people to do our chores. Everything from cleaning the house, to mowing the lawn, to picking up the groceries, is getting done by somebody else. More time for you at your desk means fewer calories burned. Again, if you’re eating the same amount, you’re going to get fat.

7. Commuting to your home office? Those of us who are working from home are saving several hours a week by not commuting. That’s great, because commutes are exhausting! Whether your commute was in a car, a bus or a train, all that movement burned calories. And you know where unburned calories go…

8. Where’s the remote? Scientists predicted decades ago that we would get fat because we watch too much TV. People didn’t get up for hours, except to change the channel. Then the TV remote was invented and we didn’t get for hours, period. That’s nothing! In today’s world we have remotes for the stereo, the air conditioner, even the blinds. If we could figure out how to use the bathroom by remote, we wouldn’t get up all day! Guess where the fat goes?

9. Do your kids go to public school? If so, then they probably eat chips, soda and other junk foods from a vending machine and the cafeteria is serving tacos, pizza, and hamburgers. All that high fat, high carb food is fattening and on top of that, schools are eliminating physical education to save money. All food and no play makes your kids fat and may shorten their lives.

10. Love computer games? If you (or your kids) are hooked on them, then you probably are spending a significant part of each day moving nothing more then a couple of fingers. Remember how you used to play? Remember bikes, softball, dancing to your favorite record? When even your play is sedentary, you’re really not burning the fat!

Okay, this is a pretty discouraging list, unless you remember that in a world so full of choices, you have the opportunity to choose what makes you happy. So if your environment is making you fat or unhappy for any reason, then one of the easiest ways to change is to re-design it. Does that mean you have to give up foods you love or do exercise you hate? No, surprisingly, when environmental design is done well, the benefits are so powerful, you don’t miss anything!

You just enjoy having the life you’ve always wanted.
