Breaking the Cycle of Obesity
In 1980, les than 10% of the population in Briatian were obese. Since then, the figure has trebled. Estimates suggest that over half of all adults in the UK, a massive 24 million, are overweight or obese.
Someone is said to be obese if their body mass index (BMI) is over 30. Being obese means you are more likely to have a heart attack, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis and some forms of cancer.
Obesity takes an average nine years off an individual’s life expectancy. The days of encouraging people who are very overweight to lose five or six stone are coming to an end. Instead, the way out of the obesity ‘epidemic’ lies with more realistic and achievable goals.
Instead of trying to stick to harsh diets, people who are overweight should try to take small steps towards greater control of their food intake – substituting a piece of fruit for a chocolate biscuit as their mid-morning snack, changing their choice of food at mealtimes, reducing the amount of food they eat outside the home, developing a new social life around sports or exercise.
I searched for \’Control Obesity Take\’ at google and found this your post (\’g the Cycle of Obesity\’) in search results. Not very relevant result, but still interesting to read.
