canada overweight rates

shared by Aninder S on 03 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • In successively older age groups from 18 to 64, the percentage of Canadians with a normal weight declined significantly (Chart 3), and the percentage in the combined overweight-obese category increased significantly.
  • When those who were overweight were included, 60.9% of Canadian men and 43.7% of women had an increased health risk because of excess weight.
  • In 2010, 18.1% of Canadians aged 18 and older, roughly 4.5 million adults, reported height and weight that classified them as obese, virtually unchanged from 2009. However, from 2003 to 2010, obesity among men rose from 16.0% to 19.8%, and among women, from14.5% to 16.5% (Chart 1).

      It's terrifying seeing the obesity rates rise in Canada. This shows you the increase in packaged, processed, and preserved foods that we consume everyday. What this article doesn't do however is compare Canada to other countries and realize that degree of seriousness about obese people.

  • childhood obesity and diabetes have become an increasing problem among the middle classes, who have largely benefited from a decade of rapid economic growth.
  • The high number of cases among South Asian people has been attributed to genetic factors, including a predisposition to storing more fat.
  • Socio-environmental factors, though, are now seen as playing an increasing role in the rising number of cases of Type 2 diabetes.

  • The condition, which occurs when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it makes, largely as a result of excess body weight and physical inactivity, was previously seen mainly in older people .

      This opens your eyes has to how other places other than Canada, but also India, deal with similar cases of obesity. This also shows is that the way we grow up eating sticks with is as a habit. If we develop a habit of eating fatty foods, then we carry that through our lives. It affects you when you get older and you will continue to spread those some learnings to others.

      This article only discusses the affect of having a meat heavy diet once you get older. This however implies that the habits when you make when you are younger stick with you. Therefore having a heavy meat diet isn't ideal, and you should reconsider.

      This article also discusses a meat heavy diet from an American point of view, but that does not mean it doesn't apply to Canadians. Consuming various American products we also need to watch for preserved meat and watch the choices we make.

  • it contains so many preservatives that it is bad for the children it is aimed at.
  • Food is supposed to decompose, go bad and smell foul eventually. The fact that it has not decomposed shows you how unhealthy it is for children.' 
  • no flies or other insects were attracted to the food.

  • Food is broken down into its essential nutrients in our bodies and turned into fuel. Our children grow strong bodies when they eat real food
  • Now you know why it's called junk food.'

      It is quite frightening to know that preservatives can keep food fresh for that long. In a modern world we do use a lot of preservatives in our foods, but that doesn't mean that it is our only option. Try your best whenever you can to stick to more organic or local choices that are far better for you.

      Just before you go out to McDonald's to grab a quick and easy lunch, remember that each with each meal you eat at McDonald's you're eating more than half your calories for the day! Waking up a few minutes earlier in the morning won't hurt you to make a quick and healthy lunch!
