The problem of obesity

Obesity is rapidly becoming one of the developing world’s biggest health problems and the same is true of the UK. According to the Department of Health, 22% of English men and 24% of women were classified as obese in 2005, with experts predicting that those figures could rise to 60% of men and 50% of women.

Diabetes

Unfortunately, obesity is about far more than just being overweight, it can lead to an increased risk of serious diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer and is now recognised as a disease itself, by organisations including the World Health Organisation and the US Federal Department of Health.

What is obesity?

Obesity is defined as a disease in which fat has accumulated in the body to such an extent that it starts to impair a person’s general health.

The harsh reality is that obesity is responsible for over 9,000 premature deaths in England each year, whilst being obese can reduce your life expectancy by an average of 9 years. In addition, being very overweight can also lead to psychological problems such as depression or low self-esteem and may put you off joining in with certain activities or even socialising.
