Study of Obesity

QUOTE
Key Points Over 30,000 deaths a year are caused by obesity in England alone. A recent study by the National Audit Office estimated the condition costs the NHS £500 million a year

People are classed as obese if they have a body mass index over 30. They are overweight if it is 25-30

Adult obesity rates have tripled since 1982. Now 19% of Britons are obese and 39% are overweight

The number of obese children has doubled since 1982. 10% of six year olds are obese, rising to 17% of 15 year olds

Obesity can lead to health problems, including arthritis, heart disease and diabetes.


This is what is happening in England, and it is similar in America and across Europe as well, it effects us all, because this is our world, our body, and our health, i am not overweight, nor do i have obesity, and so do not understand the mindframe of it, to much extent. But i feel it is something that we should all help in, how about everyone else?

it swings both ways, remember...I know quite a few girls who have gone anerexic or belemic because of such articles. Don't get me wrong, obesity is a big problem and all, but they ware going to have to work at it to make a difference; there is nothing really we can do to help them.

I generally dont gain weight, but for about a year I was partying all the time. So, usually at parties you eat a lot and chill.

This year I'm making up for it and working out 3 times a week now happy.gif
