"The most fat city" residents how to eat into the fat

Britain now face a national problem that too many people's intake of calories, but not the heat consumption. The case of obese adults in the past 25 years in the UK rose by almost four-fold. Now 22% of British people are considered "obese" (obese, physical morbid obesity), while three-quarters of people are considered obese.

Fast food into a public health "time bomb"

A British research institute announced in 2005 to a recent survey showed that nearly 70% of British men are overweight or obese, but a quarter of the obese do not think that their weight problems.

Waddell in charge of the investigation said: "ten years, obesity rates among British men has increased by two thirds. Of course, overweight women, but our research shows that most of them are aware of their weight problems, and this is back to normal the first step in weight. British men's obesity rate than all other European countries soon. " The United Kingdom accounted for 24% of the population obese

Experts believe that as a result of increasing reliance on fast food and the British time-saving technology, the country is facing a public health "time bomb." Unless the Government to take immediate measures, otherwise the whole generation of Britons will suffer from old age after heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other obesity-related diseases.

"We need the government and food manufacturers to ensure the production of nutrient-rich and sugar, salt and low fat content of food", British "National Obesity Forum" clin members said, "We also need to reduce the use of motor vehicle travel way traffic so that people choose to ride or walk to their destination. "

Medical studies have shown that obesity and a range of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and so on. In addition, the obese will have a lack of self-confidence, depression and other psychological problems. The majority of obesity are due to unhealthy diet and lack of exercise-induced.

Fat city list

A report of the European Union statistics also referred to the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom one-fifth of a quarter of women and overweight men in Europe, the United Kingdom the proportion of female obese patients with the top of the list, the second male. Based on measured body mass index, 23% of British women suffering from clinical obesity, such a high percentage of the first countries in Europe.

The United Kingdom "Men Health" magazine published a special 2006 survey, the British city of Bradford, West Yorkshire (Bradford) United Kingdom officially became the "most obese" city.
Focus on the investigation of the British residents of the city's incidence of heart disease, eating the so-called "junk food" (junk food) weight, how much wine to drink, and the number of people are members of fitness factors such as the hospital. Survey, many residents of Bradford have to eat "fast food", drinking, exercise less, and more than the habit of watching television.
In this "fat list" to hold high office in other cities include: Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow. London in 2006 ranked No. 21 national ranking. British doctors have made this conclusion: the British have become the most obese in Europe people.

In the last two decades, the number of obesity in Britain has increased by three times, but did not detract from the growth trend, now about 58% of British people who were overweight.
Statistics show that the United Kingdom in the eighties of the last century only 8% of women and 6% of men suffering from obesity, and in 1998, these two figures were increased to 21% and 17% respectively. According to this growth rate, by 2010, the United Kingdom will have a 1 / 4 of people suffering from obesity. British doctors believe that this state of affairs the country suffered a great loss, on the treatment of obesity on medical costs in 1998 is 2.6 billion pounds, the cost does not include the indirect economic loss caused. United Kingdom recorded about a year more than 3000 due to obesity-induced diseases.

Microwave cooking and the United Kingdom

Britain is Europe's largest consumer of that food. Pizza, spaghetti and baked potato chips can speed hot ready-to-eat, without complicated preparation. Supermarkets and convenience stores to display dazzling series of food - the more unusual the better. Multiculturalism British national cooking style, cooking from scratch is often fear that the increasingly common phenomenon.
Microwave ovens in the last century advent of the eighties and popular across the UK, but Britain's obesity problem is also starting to spread the same time, both whether there is any correlation between them?

We may wish to make a simple analysis.

Conditions of one: the eighties of the last century, the United Kingdom also appeared on the market a variety of prepared foods, only need heating in a microwave oven or the oven will be able to eat.

Conditions II: changes in eating habits is an important reason that people eat high-fat, high-calorie food, and without movement; the other hand, the times in the past, people engaged in labor-intensive industries, is not easily lead to obesity, even if they a large quantity of food to eat, but also because they are hungry to work more easily.

Experts believe that the emergence of microwave ovens and obesity have a certain number of the existing relationship. Did not exercise, but also resulted in more and more people are obese.
