    World Obesity Day

    Key facts (according to WHO World Health Organisation)

    • Worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975.
    • In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 650 million were obese.
    • 39% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight in 2016, and 13% were obese.
    • Most of the world’s population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight.
    • 38 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2019.
    • Over 340 million children and adolescents aged 5-19 were overweight or obese in 2016.
    • Obesity is preventable.

    I see anxiety tied in with weight issues but it doesn’t have to be like this.

    Time to change these facts. Time to change our lives. Times starts today.
