HOLAND, Mich. (Wood) – The New Year starts with a lot of people reassessing their health and trying to achieve some new goals.
According to a 2019 study in the New England Journal of Medicine, 41 percent of Americans are considered obese, and that number could climb to 50 percent by 2030.
Dr Dawn White, of the Holland Hospital Weight Loss Services, said obesity can lead to a wide range of health problems. Exercise and a healthy diet are important for everyone, White said, but there are also medications and surgeries that work for some patients.
