    About this ebook

    Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. With more than one third of Americans considered obese, the largest growing segment is children. Not only do obese adults and children have physical problems, they endure emotional, psychological, and social trauma as well. In OBESITY: The Solution, you’ll learn about the causes of obesity, who’s responsible, and what the effects are on obese individuals and the nation as a whole. Then you’ll learn about solutions through education, emotion, exercise, and eating. Author, Max Sturman, a 93-year-young advocate for health, reveals his lifestyle plan that includes healthy foods, daily exercise, and continual education. We need to educate the children and adults on basic nutritional facts.

    In Obesity: The Solution you’ll discover:
    • Why the Japanese have a lower rate of obesity than anyone else in the world
    • Which foods are the primary culprits in causing obesity
    • Some of the more subtle causes of obesity
    • How to read nutrition fact labels on foods
    • How to put together an eating plan you can follow for life
    • Much, much more

    Lately, I’ve noticed restaurants are serving bigger portions... It’s no surprise that 120 million Americans are overweight or obese. In Obesity: The Solution, Max Sturman has a simple, practical approach not only to weight reduction, but an overall approach to being healthy. He promotes a nutritional diet, an exercise program, and stress management-- a great recipe for wellness. And as a non-profit he enjoys giving free advice and gleans such pleasure from people who follow his diet and recommendations for healthy living. It’s an honor to be his cardiologist. — Dr. Dennis Goodman. M.D, F.A.C.C.

      Foreword

      Dr. Dennis Goodman

      M.D, F.A.C.C.

      La Jolla, California

      USA Today reported, Americans are eating significantly bigger portions of fries, chips, and burgers and drinking more soda than they did 20 years ago. I’ve noticed restaurants are serving bigger and bigger portions to customers, most of whom finish what’s on their plate. It’s no surprise then that 120 million Americans (more than 50%) are overweight or obese.

      Hundreds of books have been written and billions of dollars have been spent on advertising weight reduction programs, quick fixes, and fad diets that are non-sustainable and unhealthy. Many of these books are complicated and their recommended diets impractical.

      In contrast, Max Sturman has a simple, practical approach not only to weight reduction but more importantly an overall approach to being healthy.

      He promotes a healthy diet, exercise program, stress management, and good communication with health care providers. This all comes together as a great recipe for wellness.

      He’s a remarkable 93-year-old gentleman who practices what he preaches. He looks 20 years younger than his age and epitomizes a healthy, well-balanced nonagenarian who sets the standard for us all, no matter our age. He has boundless energy and loves to help others, constantly giving free advice and gleaning such pleasure from people who follow his diet and recommendations for healthy living.

      A tenet of his diet is avoiding all processed sugar. I cannot agree with him more. This in conjunction with eating fresh fruits and vegetables (he has his own organic garden), moderate amounts of carbohydrates, fat, and protein plus daily exercise and an overall positive approach to life is a fresh recipe for good health.

      I commend him for his wonderful, simple approach. It’s an honor to be his cardiologist. It makes my job with him so easy like an early morning walk in the park with a juicy fresh watermelon for breakfast

      Preface

      By the time I was in my 30s and living in New York City, I was in bad health – overweight, smoking, and drinking. A friend who belonged to the Vegetarian Society told me about a doctor named Max Warmbrand. This doctor was an Osteopathic Chiropractor and he literally saved my life.

      Dr. Warmbrand put me on the path of a structured lifestyle. I saw him on a regular schedule of three times a week. He would ask me what I had eaten and give my body a manipulation. In 1969, he wrote Add Years To Your Heart and I still have that book.

      Dr. Warmbrand had me on a sensible diet of cottage cheese, fruits, vegetables, and salads. Within three months, I had lost weight, my health improved, I stopped drinking and smoking, and I had more energy than ever before.

      In 2002, my wife died of Parkinson’s disease. I was devastated, and in my grief I wondered what had happened that she had to die so soon.

      I channeled all my time and energy into writing and educating the public about the food we eat and how it’s not safe to eat most of the items sold in supermarkets today. This food alone can lead to all kinds of horrific illnesses and diseases.

      To inform the public of what I learned, I wrote the pamphlet Do It Naturally: The Diet You Can Live With. I printed copies, advertised in magazines, and mailed them to anyone who responded and wanted a copy – all at my own expense.

      Now I have a foundation, Do It Naturally Foundation, Inc. With the money I get from grants, I’ve been able to write books on nutrition and educate as many people as I can reach on the correct foods to eat to keep slim and healthy. I’ve given these books to schools and libraries across America.

      I love to receive drawings from children telling me how much they enjoyed my book and how they’re learning about good nutrition.

      When I was a child, I was overweight and the other children called me fatso. That nickname and the stigma that came with it has stuck with me to this day at age 93.

      There are too many obese children in the United States today. They need to know the proper foods to eat and they need plenty of exercise. The electronics age has turned their already overweight bodies
