Overweight Problem

In Australia, the number of people with normal BMI is decreasing gradually in both of male and female. On the contrary, the number of people with overweight or obese BMI is increasing. The graph shows that 45% of males were normal in 1995. But in 2004-2005, normal males’ rate was under 40%. On the other hand, obese and overweight males’ ratio increased over 10% collectively.
This is a serious situation. Obese or overweight people are easier to contract various diseases than normal. Especially, physically inactive people of them have the risk of getting diseases, for example, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, even cancer. They are life threatening directly. What happens if the situation goes on like this? Such diseases prevent obese or overweight people from having long lives themselves. That means the average life span. This is an acute problem not only in Australia, but also all over the world. Medical service is improving; however, overweight is the personal problem. So there is only a way to keep our health condition better by ourselves. If we neglect our own condition, nobody helps us. The important thing not to get obese and overweight is to consider that we are obese or not. And much better thing is to continue exercises and refrain from sugar. If we don’t take care of ourselves, we get the worst condition and finally die.
