During the council' public

concern bout the city crack­

the tight budget.
Onc such concern is the
city' plan to enforce housing
codes. Citizens will be re­
quired to bring th ir houses up
to code or face .a fine.
W nda Bostic said the

According to recent estimates, between 40 and SO percent of adults
living in North America are overweight due to excess body fat (obesity).
Obesity can produce a variety of physical and emotional problems. For
example, the obese tend to have more high blood pressure, heart disease,
gout, diabetes, and gallbladder disease than do persons whose weight is in
the normal range.
Effective weight control requires a life-long committment in order to
prevent regaining weight that has been lost. Experts generally recognize
four different approaches to weight loss. .
Restriction or calories: Calorie restricted diets reduce daily calorie and
fat consumption.
Exercise: Brisk "walking" 3 to 4 miles a day can produce as much as one-
half pound of weight 10 per week. .
Behavior odifkation: Behaviors are relearned or modified so that
fewer calories are consumed and/or there is more daily activityor exercise.
Drul th r py: The main value of certain drugs in weight control is the
reduction in appetite. The best approach is to combine drug therapy with
exercise, calorie restriction, and behavior modification.
