Williamsburgers don't exercise and are obese; New health study
A stunning 43 percent of residents in Williamsburg/Bushwick rated their health as fair or poor.
Here's why: Nearly one-third of residents there are obese, 56 percent don't exercise at all, one-third are without a regular doctor, and nearly 4 in 10 are uninsured/underinsured.
Williamsburg and Bushwick were singled out as among the worst neighborhoods for "interpersonal" or domestic violence. Five percent of respondents said they were afraid their spouse or partner would harm them or their children.
Such unhealthy environments are "bad for kids," said Claire Barnett, of the New York Healthy Schools Network.
"If you're not healthy emerging out of childhood," she said, "it's going to be harder to become a healthy adult."

YES!!Shmekidik was right after all. I did not believe it when he was saying that Chassidim are fat and out of shape and not healthy,I am shocked to see that he is right, that most Chasiddim in Willamsburgh are obese and out of shape and not healthy..We must start urging Chasidim to excersize and go on diets and be healthier..

Shmekidik, who says you have to smell good to be healthy? Eat va lot of garlic and you will be very healthy. But, you won't smell so good. Garlic is good for everything,as an antibiotic, lowering blood pressure, lowering choleterol, cleaning out the arteries, lowering blood sugar etc. It should be used more than Tylenol or Motrin, and then everybody will be healthy only they won'r Shmek so good.

What is shmuckidik's hangup with body oder? Hygeine can be remedied with a clean mikve un a biseleh deoderant. Who says the Post is only talking about Men? Maybe the bulk of the fat is found on the veiber? I mean let's just stop and take a good look around. Forget about the extra weight that those milk hydrants perched in the upper chest area add, we're still talkin' layers of flabby excess fat below! These people should be hitting the gym and pumping iron. They need to work and tone their bodies and aspire to be fit.

Ok Shmekidik , I am on board the “clean train” with you! I would like to ask you some questions. Which group of Chasidim are the worst and which are the best? How does Bobov’s hygiene compare to Satmar’s ? Are the Litvisheh guys up to par with their weight and health? Do Lubavitcher Chevreh smell ok ? I would like you to break down each group and tell me your opinion.

Shmekidik, you tell everyone that one should go to a gym, shower twice a day etc., in the name of doing it for the sake of Yiddishkeit. Are you a Posek that you can tell evryone this? I hate to burst your bubble, but working out in a gym is hardly advocated by gedolai Yisroel. You get fit just by walking. Working out in a gym doesn't have a Yiddishe Ta-am. I don't know if anyone needs two showers a day, even if they smell a little. Taking too many showers could be bitul Torah. Go ask a choshuve Rov if you should be giving this advice in the name of Torah.

anon 11:12 lighten up a little bit a turn the page. Actually, you're probably one of those robust "veiber" who need to lighten up a lot! YOU are the one who acts disrespectful to the female body by dragging around oodles of excess fat. Stop being in denial, join a gym, and reduce the circumference of your wide load once and for all.

hey Shmukidik you never said anything about domestic violence in any of your posts youre only now saying it because of the nypost but there are goyim living in Willamsburgh so shut up already you have no idea what you are talking about saying that you have always said about domestic violence is a lie

anon 6:13 You are out of line referring to a woman's body in a disparaging manner. It has nothing to do with lightening up, or my weight (which is below recommended fyi).Men who speak this way about women tend to become abusers - either physical or verbal and they pass this attitude onto their children. The boys act in the same way and the girls end up hating themselves and eating to numb the hurt the men in their families inflicted on them. So you see that the very behavoir you have a problem with, you are perpetuating.

"Taking too many showers could be bitul Torah" - The average person wastes so much time every day - it first becomes "bitul torah" when its something you don't want to do. My cousin in Kollel can waste time everyday drinking coffee and shmising - but going shopping for groceries is "bitul torah".
Taking care of your body and your health will add to your stamina and mental clarity - helping you to learn more Torah and do more mitzvos. See in the Rambam how much he speaks of proper eating, drinking and other health issues.
You can get all the benefits of garlic without the smell by adding tumeric power to your food. You can get it at any Indian store and most health stores.

To Shmekidik (1)i dont know from where you take it that you are allowed to shower before SHACHRIS it looks like you never started to learn the first chelek of shulchan urech (2)looks like you never looked into a musar sefer from any of our Gedolim that write to use SHMEKEDIK soap or deodorant is a LO SASE of LO YILBASH GEVER SIMLAS ISHA

To SROOCHEDIK
I don’t know which Chassidim you are referring too, but the one that I know go to mikve every day, take a shower 2-3 times a week, never use deodorant and never go to the gym.
Still they have a fresh–gentle smell and very few are overweight (1 out of 8-9) look around in your Shull to prove it yourself. On the other hand most goyim including businessman have a smell and their face look far worse than the behind of a horse....
Your comment about domestic violence, which is a joke compared l’havdil to the goyim, gives a hint about your upbringing, sorry to speak about it…
