Obesity occurs due to carbs you eat, not sitting idle

Even if you are fit and exercise regularly, you can not beat obesity if you can not curb eating sugar and carbs.

Regular exercise is the key to preventing off serious disease, such as diabetes, heart disease, and dementia, but our calorie loaded diets now generate more ill health than physical inactivity, alcohol, and smoking combined.

The proof now suggests that up to 40 percent of those within a normal weight range will nonetheless port harmful metabolic abnormalities typically associated with obesity.

The authors said personality involvement of sugary drinks and the association of junk food and sport must end, adding that health clubs and gyms need to set an example by removing the sale of these products from their premises.

The food environment needs to be changed so that people automatically make healthy choices. “This will have far greater effect on population health than counselling or education. Healthy choice must become the easy and better choice.”

The researchers suggested that it was time to wind back the harms caused by the junk food industry’s public relations machinery.
