Slim is sexy and beautiful or
handsome. But the average American male
and female can't fit the description.
The average American adult is fat and
growing more so.
Uncle Sam's statisticians figure the
average male is from 20 to 30 pounds
overweight; the average American female,
from 15 to 30 pounds.
These average American adults are a
far sight from approaching the profiles
of such »exy idols as Burt Reynolds or
Farrah Fawcett-Majors.
The plump condition is bad. But even
more depressing news is in the recent
report from the National Center for
Health Statistics...dispenser of the
figures on weight.
The most recent weigh-in, according
to the statisticians, shows the fat
American adults grew more round in the
10 years separating the official
measurement of weight.
The .average American woman added a
pound; the average man, four.
Why are average Americans losing the
battle of the bulge and what can be done
to put the overweight on the winning
road? •/.jyJ
The questions were put to Dr. Ernst
Wynder and other authorities at the
American Health Foundation. That is a
voluntary health association aiming to
help prevent diseases through such
things as the promotion of healthy life-
styles. Elimination of excess poundage
is part of the recommended success
formula.
Wynder, president, is the
epidemiologist (health detective) who
more than 20 years ago linked heavy
cigarette smoking with lung cancer.
He and other epidemiologists, in re-
ports to the United States Congress and
the World Health Organization, in recent
years have called for more productive
attacks on obesity.
"We are losing the battle of the
bulge," Winder says, "because we are

losing battle
living in a society where two things
have happened simultaneously: One,
there's too much of a good life around
us. In part that means the best food at
affordable prices, even if that food is
high in fat and calories.
"Two, we've become sedentary,
decreasing our expenditure of calories."
From childhood Americans are
conditioned to eat for enjoyment.
Celebrations revolve around food and
drink. Social and business functions
feature food and drink.
It's hard under such circumstances to
give up the enjoyment, according to
Wynder.
He also points out that Americans
take escalators or elevators instead of
walking one or two flights of stairs...
take the care to travel three blocks to
a hamburger place...and have become a
nation of spectators rather than
participators in sports.
He says: "then add this complication:
Change requires individual discipline...
which we don't seem to have. Or it re-
quires a modification of the high fat,
high calorie diet...which our food
industry would find difficult."
What needs to be done, according to
Wynder, is to change the nutritional
habits and physical fitness programs of
the young.
Under that "Know your body program"
school children are given an exercise
test for physical fitness and a blood
test for cholesterol, blood sugar and

anemia. They are told about disease
risk factors and given tips on healthy
lifestyles.
In a related program for adults, the
foundation's Division of Health Behavior
is providing brief physical examinations
for men and women at their place of
employment.
The aim is somewhat the same: to
detect risk factors for preventable
diseases.
Of 1,200 workers recently tested, 25
percent have at least two risk factors,
indicating an increased probability of
disease development.
Adults found a risk are given plans
for preventive action. Obesity is a
common risk factor. Nutrition education
and diet programs worked out under the
direction of the foundation's Angelica
T. Cantlon are part of the disease
prevention prescription passed out. She
is coordinator of nutrition education
for the foundation.
Mrs. Cantlon says being serious has
much to do with winning the bulge battle.

Mrs. Cantlon, look at your fat lifestyle

Applications for teaching posi-

and change it to a thin one.
The "thin style" hinges in a key way
on eating habits.
In extreme cases, Mrs. Cantlon
recommends over-eaters keep nothing but
frozen food in the house.
Snacking while watching television is
a common trap for those overweight. Mrs.
Cantlon suggests that you try to substi-
tute exercise breaks for the food breaks.
At social or business events planned
around food, Mrs. Cantlon recommends you
eat a little bit of everything, " If
you overdo it," she says, "starve the
next day."
