Obesity more dangerous than terrorism

World governments focus too much on fighting terrorism while obesity and other "lifestyle diseases" are killing millions more people, an international conference explained. Lifestyle diseases mean bad habit or bad lifestyle which is so famous among the people in the world today. Overcoming deadly factors such as eating too much fast food, poor diet, smoking habit and a lack of exercise should take top priority in the fight against a growing epidemic of preventable chronic disease, legal and health experts said. Global terrorism was a real threat but far less risk than obesity, diabetes and smoking-related illnesses, prominent US professor of health law, Lawrence Gostin said at the Oxford Health Alliance Summit here. It means that obesity is really more dangerous than terrorism. Most people get overweight or obesity because their bad habit in eating and so lack in exercise. As the result, the obesity people just eating and eating without doing enough exercise which able to balance the weight.

Too many negative effects of Obesity

The obesity people get too many negative effects of obesity which cause too many kinds of diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and others. Those kinds of diseases are too dangerous and very possible to kill the obesity people. It is why obesity is more dangerous than terrorism. An estimated 388 million people will die from chronic disease worldwide over the next 10 years, according to World Health Organization figures quoted by the alliance. It is so fantastic! How awful obesity attacks this world. However, people often ignore and do not get attention of this facts. 

Obesity seems like Time Bomb

"Ever since September 11, 2010, we've been lurching from one crisis to the next, which has really frightened the public," Gostin told AFP later. "While we've been focusing so much attention on that, we've had this silent epidemic of obesity that's killing millions of people around the world, and we're devoting very little attention to it and a negligible amount of money," Gostin told more. It is why obesity seems like “time bomb.” Most of people just have very little attention to the silent epidemic of obesity which is killing millions of people around the world. He noted the prevention of obesity and its effects had hardly rated a mention in the current campaign for the US presidency. "Yet the human costs are frightening when we consider that obesity could shorten the average lifespan of an entire generation, resulting in the first reversal in life expectancy since data collecting began in 1900," he said. 

Like terrorism, some passing health threats get major government attention and media coverage, while heart and lung disease, diabetes and cancer account for 60 percent of the world's deaths, the meeting was told.

Look at the picture! It said, “Jangankan obesitas, gemuk saja sudah cukup membebani jantung.” It means that only fat, fat had made heart get enough ‘load’ to run its function in our body, even less the obesity. The obesity will make our heart do not work maximal even do not work should have been. As the result, the obesity people will get heart attack or other disease and cause them to die. The most important thing is we have to make a decision to solve the problem of obesity. We have to make our lifestyle healthier than before, get more attention for our health, do enough exercise, reduce sugar, fat and salt content in food, and increasing global efforts to stop people smoking.
