A new study shows that church going individuals tend to be more obese than their non church going counterparts. The reasons for this are not clear. Whatever the reasons, leaders of the church community need to be more engaged at helping their followers maintain good health.

I hold a free monthly presentation about natural ways to control Diabetes and manage weight. I have reached out to many church leaders to promote this to their parishioners. Six months later, I have never seen an attendee from the churches. I also tried to attend the churches and present to them at their place of worship with no progress.

What do you think may be attributing to the greater percentage of obesity for church attendees?
