Social Media Medicine Expert Dr. Veronica Anderson Publishes New Article Posing a Challenge To Take a Hard Look in the Mirror.

Dr. Veronica Anderson, Founder and Host of web radio talk show, Wellness for the Real World, a weekly resource for wellness of mind, body and spirit, suggests that eating and health habits are contagious.

NEW YORK, NY – January 3, 2012Dr. Veronica Anderson, social media medicine expert and Founder and Host of health and wellness web radio talk show, Wellness for the Real World, recently published an article on her website www.drveronica.com critically discussing the fact that people typically adopt the lifestyle habits of those around them. The article, titled “Fat and Overweight Family Dysfunction” suggests that by educating ourselves about healthy diet habits, we can break the cycle of weight gain.

Dr. Anderson writes, “Do friends influence the way we eat, or did we learn our good or bad eating habits from the dinner table during childhood? Experts disagree on which influence has the most pull, but in the meantime, the differing arguments have well researched reasoning. However, we can learn from the concept that weight loss or gain happens in numbers. How can we leverage this knowledge to ensure that we build healthy lifestyles within optimal weight limits?”

“Whichever side of the argument you agree – or disagree – with, there is no denying that people today suffer from weight struggles. The irony is, very few people actually think they are fat. But the truth is that 2/3 of us are. Have you ever wondered why this is? If you come from a fat family, you will have a different view of what is fat and what is not. In certain communities where 80% of the population is overweight, the smaller people are considered thin in that culture but would be seen as obese outside that culture,” reports Dr. Anderson.

Wellness for the Real World features information on developing a healthy and fit mind, body and spirit in today’s dynamic society. Dr. Anderson adds her easily understandable, fun-infused voice to the broad-audience discussion on today’s most popular medicines, alternative treatments, health policies and opinions of wellness – so that her listeners can benefit from truly vigorous life in the real world today.
