OUR FOOD IS KILLING US: More than a billion people are obese worldwide. It is one of life‘s great ironys that food, the very thing that fuels our lives can also damage our well-being. We know obesity can increase the risk of developing many serious health conditions, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. The problem of obesity is getting worse and is now becoming a global disease. With more than a billion people are living with obesity around the world, global estimates published in The Lancet show. It is worth a read. See here: https://lnkd.in/eqxYWk7Y This includes about 880 million adults and 159 million children, according to 2022 data. Out of some 190 countries, the UK ranks 55th highest for men and 87th for women. World Health Organization (WHO) director general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: "This new study highlights the importance of preventing and managing obesity from early life to adulthood, through diet, physical activity, and adequate care." Throughout my career of some 40 years, I’ve seen this ticking timebomb, just get louder and louder. There’s a lot of great science about what is causing it and some of the solutions - but actually it is not having an impact. Your thoughts on some of the solutions? Personally, I lost 10 stone. Largely because I wanted to and then I just cut down on my calories. My diet is high in fibre and low in HFSS. in that sense, it is not difficult to eat healthily. I am also saving a hell of a lot of money. #Food #Obesity #FoodScience #FoodTechnology #Nutrition #Health #PublicHealth #FoodIndustry #FoodService #Hospitality #retail

Age Backwards WEDNESDAY WEIGHT LOSS TIPS “Globally, there has been a shift in food consumption patterns towards more energy-dense foods at the same time as significant reduction in physical activity. Overweight and obese people are at significantly higher risk for non-communicable diseases” Excerpt: World Bank Report It’s no secret. The whole world is getting bigger; not just it’s population. While bio-technology advances, the Earth’s inhabitants are unhealthier. World Health Organization (WHO), 2.5 billion adults (18 years and older) were overweight in 2022, which is 43% of the adult population. Of those, 890 million were obese, which is 16% of the adult population. Additionally, 37 million children under the age of 5 were overweight in 2022 Yet, the fat loss gurus are still peddling their fake fixes to the multitudes. If this weren’t bad enough, people are still embarking on yet another “diet;” spending more hard earned money on pills, diet centered foods; while real food is treated as the “enemy.” “Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is insanity.” Einstein #livepainfree #livedrugfree #agebackwards #obesity #weightloss #foodasmedicine #fitforlife #ketogeniclifestyle #jointhealth #trendtyranny #fatadapted #hungerfree #remotetraining

🔍 **Understanding Obesity vs. Overweight: A Critical Health Distinction** In today's health landscape, the terms “obesity” and “overweight” are often used interchangeably, yet they possess distinct meanings that carry significant health implications. 🏥 ### What’s the Difference? - **Obesity** is defined as having a BMI of **30 or higher**, indicating an excessive amount of body fat. - **Overweight** is categorized by a BMI **between 25 and 29.9**—a step below obesity but still alarming. This differentiation is crucial; obesity raises your risk for severe health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and various cancers. With a staggering increase in childhood obesity, it's evident we must act now to safeguard our future generations. 📊 Two primary lifestyle culprits fueling this crisis are: 1. **Sedentary Lifestyles**: Many of us are glued to our screens, leading to insufficient physical activity. 2. **Ultra-Processed Foods**: These calorie-dense, nutrient-poor options are omnipresent and harmful. 🍔 Raising awareness about these factors is paramount. Let’s encourage healthier environments, better food choices, and active lifestyles—together, we can turn the tide against obesity! 🌍 For an in-depth analysis and practical steps toward change, check out our detailed blog post here: [Key4Health Blog](https://lnkd.in/eM35KKDp) #HealthAwareness #ObesityPrevention #HealthyLiving #BMI #ChildhoodObesity #PublicHealth
