Today, I would like to talk about a subject that is very near and dear to my heart.

Lately, obesity in children and adults have taken a forefront in health. Every where people are promoting good exercise and healthy food. Even the cookie monster has been rumored to undergo a strictly no cookie diet. However, this new obsession of reducing our pants sizes has also caused us to neglect an extremely important issue.

Brain obesity.

It's an unfortunate condition that is plaguing our nation's college students and professors alike. Often a person is considered brain obese when the density of their brains are disproportionate to their bodies. Scientists believe that this is often due to excessive academic intake, long hours of non stop studying, psychiatric illness, and genetic susceptibility.

Brain obesity has several negative affects that include frequent headaches, stiff bones, sore backs, extreme fatigue, crankiness, and cramped hands. It has also been proven that brain obesity is in direct correlation to the following diseases:

increased knowledge
atheism
epiphanies
mathematical and scientific discoveries
and so on and so forth

Dr. Klyn, an expert in the field of studying, states that, "Youth today have no portion control. With all such available information at their finger tips, they are often found to study too much. This is most prevalent in college students where the curriculum demands extreme amounts of studying in short amounts of time. In fact they even have a whole week dedicated to the celebration of study. It's absolutely absurd!"

Fortunately brain obesity is easily cured by reducing the amounts of studying and increasing the amounts of activities that require little brain activity. Doctors suggest winter/summer vacations, partying, having movie marathons, or sleeping for more than 12 hours a day.

It must be remembered that to cure brain obesity, one must undergo a change in lifestyle. While at first it is extremely psychologically straining, the benefits are incomprehensible. literally.
