With the development of society, we are surrounded by more and more obese people! What are the reasons for most of them? The United States found this problem early, they also conducted research and found that in the past 10 years, the proportion of obese people in the adult population has increased by 50%, and currently about 50% of American adults are suffering from overweight. And the proportion of obese children in the United States, within 10 years has increased nearly 1 times. It is jokingly described: modern Americans can only change clothes to “compete” with obesity. Worldwide, it has been estimated that about 50 million men and 60 million women are obese with a bulky physique. I don’t know if anyone in this country has done a similar survey. But when we go home to visit our relatives, we find that the cities of our country are more beautiful, the streets are wider, and the living standards of the people are obviously improved, but we also find that the number of people with “broad” body shapes, especially fat people and fat girls, is significantly higher than before. According to the data released by the domestic authorities, China’s cities, primary and secondary school students weighing more than the standard weight are everywhere. In fact, this is a typical social problem that every developing country encounters in the process of development. This social problem is mainly caused by the following factors. First, the standard of living has improved, the body takes in too much energy (excess nutrition): children born after the 1980s, I’m afraid they have never heard of the saying “melon and vegetable generation, two meals thin, one dry”. The only foods that stick in their minds are probably high-energy foods like chocolate and McDonalds. But they may not know that a hamburger, a package of fries and a milkshake together contain about 4,000 kilojoules (about 956 kcal) of energy, equivalent to more than half of the total daily energy requirements of a normal adult, if at the same time a fried chicken leg, the body’s energy intake is even more significant. Even for those adults who know these past events, with the improvement of living standards, the life of a meat and wine every day is not too difficult for everyone. So to speak, the improvement in quality of life, a little carelessness, and with it, the downside of excess nutrition. Second, the improvement of living standards, exercise (activities) reduced: the most typical example is that along with the popularity of a variety of household appliances, television production level and the extension of the broadcast time, people consume more and more time in front of the TV every day, with less and less time for other aspects. In the past, it was said that “after a meal, walk a hundred steps, live to ninety-nine”, but nowadays, even the time to eat do not forget to watch TV. The time to do laundry has also become time to watch TV, but only 24 hours a day, sitting for a long time, the time to move is naturally reduced, just eat without doing, there is no reason not to gain weight.
The increase in daily energy intake, the body consumes less energy, I believe we do not say, we all understand, no doubt accompanied by more and more obese body shape. More and more obese patients, but we know very little about the dangers of obesity. We hope that readers will pay attention to their bodies and stay away from obesity!
