Let me sound the alarm and let me point out the obvious health concerns being raised. Are people starting to ignore the obesity problem much like they do the concerns about smoking ?
I think they are !
Take into account my Blog on Tuesday about "Is Obesity an issue or is it just Media Hype ?", because today there has been a NEW research report released telling us that being obese is more harmful than smoking.
The Foresight Report from 250 leading scientists has found the current crisis is so severe it will take up to 30 years to reverse. The report noted that while smoking will take 10 years off your life, being obese takes 13 years off your life.
Now this fact reinforces to me that we need to act now !
Here is my concern. The number of people who have weight issues in Australia is now up above 60% which means that being healthy puts you in the minority.
The health concerns of the world will continue in the current direction causing the alarm bells to ring loudly but what needs to be done to start to change this direction.
This involves YOU being personally responsible for your own life.
This involves YOU not putting unhealthy food in your body.
This involves YOU getting more active.
