The numbers are in...Canadians are getting fat!
We are all aware of the obesity epidemic and, according to scientists
and medical researchers, it will take decades to see any signs of
reversing.
The numbers that really stand out to me come straight from Statistics Canada.
A survey showed that a whopping 25 percent of adults in Canada are obese. Canadian women, particularly those in the 20-39 age bracket, are becoming overweight faster than almost any other women in the high-income world.
Look around you. One out of every FOUR Canadians is obese. We are getting fatter and there are no signs of slowing down.
The world has been putting on roughly 2.5-3 pounds of weight a decade for EACH person on the planet and Canada has definitely been helping as it has some of the highest average body mass indexes among the wealthy nations . Canada is eating its way into a public health crisis. When you consider the medical costs of obesity, of treating related cases of diabetes, heart disease, hip and knee replacements, it’s clear that we have a serious problem.
What’s the big deal with obesity anyways?
In addition to the diabetes risk, excess weight heightens the risk for heart attack, stroke and cancers and contributes to nearly three million deaths every year worldwide.
High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for death from cardiovascular disease and causes more than 7 million deaths every year worldwide.
Obesity is literally starting to reverse life-expectancy gains in high-income nations.
Our longevity is at risk.
So what can be done?
Without a doubt, reversing obesity is going to be a long and painful journey. But we need to start somewhere, and we need to start right away.
The game of weight loss is simple but it’s not easy. It’s about making simple lifestyle changes and having the patience to see them through. Simple lifestyle changes lead to massive lifestyle improvements.
I can give you all the advice in the world but if your mind and heart are not set on making a change, then nothing can help. Find your source of motivation. Whether it’s being there for your grandchildren or impressing the new HR girl at work, you need something that will drive you to push through those difficult times.
It’s time to make a change.
