World weight figures are again under the spotlight as the latest figures released by the UN show that there are more overweight people in the world than those who are undernourished.
Obesity is becoming a world health problem as more and more people fail to keep their diets and weight under check and continue to consume diets that are rich in fat and carbohydrates.
Combined with the rise in overweight and obese people, come the inevitable rises in heart attacks, high blood pressure cases and diabetes, never mind the illnesses such as cancer, which can be indirectly associated with obesity as well.
When you look at some of the figures stated below, it is important that you are looking at the figures related to obese people which can be defined as those that are grossly overweight. The statistics related to those that are just overweight are just too frightening to even look at.
Statistics record that America is now the leader in obese people with a conservative figure of 30.6% of all adults being obese. USA is followed by Mexico at 24.2% and the UK at 23%. In the UK alone it is estimated that more than half of the population is overweight.
Prime Causes Of Obesity.
1) Lack Of Pure Drinking Water.
Failing to drink sufficient pure water contributes to obesity. Water is essential to the correct functioning of your body as is the prime means of cleansing and removing toxins and waste from the body. The normal functioning of the body is affected by these toxins which also slow down your metabolism an cause weight gain.
Research has shown that merely by drinking sufficient quality water, you increase your weight loss results by as much as 25%.
The average adult should consume approx 2.5t to 3 litres of fresh water per day.
2) Poor Diet.
The western world especially is cursed with the abundance of tasty and tempting fast food outlets, ready to eat meals that are pre-cooked and high in preservatives, foods that are fatty and are rich in carbohydrates. In addition to this, most people eat insufficient fresh fruit and vegetables.
The results of this are excessive weight gain, colon problems and high cholesterol counts. Simply by reducing the amount of “Quick Food” in your diet and opting for more healthy diet options, and including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet, you will find that you will feel better, have more energy and will start to lose weight. The fresh fruit and vegetables will aid you to regain colon functions thereby reducing your risk of some cancers.
3) Excessive Eating.
Everybody knows that the best way to reduce your weight is to reduce your calorie intake by eating less, and to increase your exercise, but few are able to implement these simply requirements of weight loss. One of the huge culprits that cause overeating, or should I say excessive eating, is the age old problem of snacking between meals.
Snacking between meals is the factor responsible for most weight gain and our modern world that makes everything convenient, contributes immensely to your weight gain woes. Snacks are readily available from vending machines, corner stores and the local fast food outlet. Chocolates, french fries, hamburgers etc, are available on demand almost anywhere, and so resisting the urge to snack between meals is almost impossible and the resultant weight gain problems are inevitable.
Could the Solution to World Obesity Come from South Africa.
Southern Africa is famous for it’s huge proliferation of wild life and especially the “Big Five”. More recently, Southern Africa has become more famous due to the Sans Tribe of Bushmen who are known for their nomadic ways in the semi arid regions of Southern Africa.
The huge reason that this small tribe of bushmen have become famous is not about what they are, their hunting ways, their nomadic lifestyle, but more about waht they eat.
In fact, the bushmen eat very little and are able to endure long hunting trips with very little food. Instead of eating food, they nibble on the flesh of a small catus type succulent plent called Hoodia Gordonii. As a result of the unique composition of the hoodia plant, the bushmen simply do not get hungry and have loads of energy to carry on their hunting expedition without worrying about hungry stomachs or lack of energy.
Today Hoodia Gordonii is made available for the world to benefit from the findings of the Bushmen. UniqueHoodia natural appetite suppressing pills contains 100% pure hoodia gordonii from Southern Africa with no other additives or fillers.
