“40 may be the new 30; but if you’re obese, 40 is the new 60.”

Michelle Obama continued the fight against obesity, this time in an executive setting. Near 100 activists, professors and government officials gathered to listen to the fact-filled speech. Some of the information, contributed by experts in the field, will contribute to her final report on the matter. Also, the suggestions brought up during the talk may be advised later in Michelle’s campaign.

Some suggestions that came up (and can be included in your life!) included:

1. Clean environments in corporate offices for women to breastfeed. Babies who are breastfed for the first six months have a much smaller risk of obesity.

2. More parks. People within closer vicinity to a park or track are statistically less obese. Even a few blocks makes a difference!

3. Recess. Short bursts of physical activity during the work day may help slim you down and keep you alert. Even if it’s just jogging down the staircase during lunch, get your body moving!
