According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2010 about 35.7% of Americans were obese. The number is expected to be even higher today due to our sedentary lifestyles and increased availability of unhealthy food choices. Obesity can lead to many health problems including hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. To avoid these potential problems it is important to monitor your weight by eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly.
10) Eczema
Eczema is a skin condition that is characterized by red, patchy, and itchy skin. Signs of eczema are either mild or severe depending on the individual and their reaction to the eczema triggering factors. Mild cases can be treated at home by applying a steroid cream as soon as possible after your skin starts showing signs of itchiness. If you have moderate to severe eczema then medical attention should be sought for.
