How "obese" is the state you live in?

Dear Longevity Insider,

Anil Bajnath MD here with your Monday roundup.

Most Americans (over 70%) are either overweight or obese. Studies have linked obesity with increased risk for serious health complications, including:

• Type 2 diabetes
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Asthma
• Liver disease and kidney disease
• Reduced fertility
• Numerous types of cancer: breast cancer, bowel cancer, etc.
• Gallstones
• Osteoarthritis, a condition involving pain and stiffness in your joints
• Sleep apnoea

Culture and lifestyle play such a huge part in our health. Recently, the CDC released a very telling map of the U.S. giving incredible insight on obesity rates in YOUR area.
