South African 'as fat as Americans'
Below is an extract from the BBC News
Obesity levels in South Africa are the same as in the United States, say doctors at the first international meeting on obesity in Africa.
In South Africa, one in three men are overweight or obese, while for women, it is more than one in two.
But as many people die of malnutrition in South Africa as of diseases associated with obesity.
Some 200 delegates in South Africa are discussing how the obesity is becoming a global epidemic.
Why you should consider eating the Herbalife Products
Below is an extract from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Department of Health and Human services.
Since the mid-seventies, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has
increased sharply for both adults and children. Data from two NHANES
surveys show that among adults aged 20–74 years the prevalence of
obesity increased from 15.0% (in the 1976–1980 survey) to 32.9% (in the
2003–2004 survey).
The two surveys also show increases in overweight among children and
teens. For children aged 2–5 years, the prevalence of overweight
increased from 5.0% to 13.9%; for those aged 6–11 years, prevalence
increased from 6.5% to 18.8%; and for those aged 12–19 years, prevalence
increased from 5.0% to 17.4%.
These increasing rates raise concern because of their implications for
Americans’ health. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of many diseases and health conditions, including the following:
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Osteoarthritis (a degeneration of cartilage and its underlying bone
within a joint)
Dyslipidemia (for example, high total cholesterol or high levels of
triglycerides)
Type 2 diabetes
Coronary heart disease
Stroke
Gallbladder disease
Sleep apnea and respiratory problems
Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)
Overweight and obesity are also symptoms of, poor eating and lifestyle habits, poor nutrition and vitamin-deficient diet.
