Obesity epidemic. Urgent intervention necessary!
For many years we have known that gaining weight, to a large extent is a consequence of the drastic increase in sedentary lifestyle and changes in eating habits. These two factors are a consequence of the current lifestyle of the society. We are created to accumulate fat. It is our energy reserve.
When we eat more than we need, our body stores this excess in the form of fat to be able to use it if necessary.
Our ancestors had to hunt for food. They spent long hours outside and physical activity was intense. Nowadays we eat when we feel hungry, we eat, because we are sad, happy, because we feel like something ... We eat because there’s a party, because we meet with friends ... and we eat as long as we can. Always in excess, and so rarely use these energy reserves ...
On top of that we have the availability of all types of food, both good and bad. In addition to replacing fruit, vegetables or whole grains with highly processed products based on refined flour, sugars and processed meat, there is an imbalance between what we eat and what we burn.
We spend a lot of time sitting idly.
This is why it is necessary to adapt our lifestyle to our metabolism. Be on a diet that is tailored to your daily needs to avoid weight gain and health deterioration.
Healthy eating does not always mean proper nutrition ... You have to adapt it to your lifestyle! Is it appropriate for someone who sits all day in the office to consume a lot of fruit? Fruit is a source of sugar, so in such a case one should reduce the amount of fruit they eat... This is just an example.
Almost one in three British adults are now estimated to be obese, according to the study. by University College London and pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. And if trends continue, 48 percent of adults will be classed as obese by 2045.
