Facing the Obesity Crisis



Do not feel that being overweight or obese will be a battle that you, or others you know, cannot overcome.


The first step to conquering a challenge is to understand why the challenge exists i.e. the “science” of the challenge and how to use this “science” to overcome it.


The first link below will take you to a useful article that discusses the present obesity crisis and share some of the underline reasons.


Certain overall suggestions are shared, these involve national efforts such as:

  • Public education about eating habits and stress management.

  • Better balance between work and self-care

  • Engaging in advocacy for government action


A second link will show a diagram of a nutrition pyramid. The health of the food that we eat is greatest at the bottom and less at the top of the pyramid.


The third link explains further about the nutrient value of various foods. The higher the nutrient value the higher the calories.


From this we learn that obesity is mainly a problem of malnutrition.


These are the links. what do you think ? What can you do?
