Facts about overweight and obesity
Obesity is a leading preventable cause of
death worldwide. At least 2.8 million
adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese. In addition, 44%
of the diabetes burden, 23% of the ischaemic heart disease burden and between
7% and 41% of certain cancer burdens are attributable to overweight and
obesity.
Some WHO global estimates from 2008 follow.
·
More than 1.4 billion adults,
20 and older, were overweight.
·
Of these overweight adults,
over 200 million men and nearly 300 million women were obese.
·
Overall, more than one in ten
of the world’s adult population was obese.
In 2010, more than 40 million children
under five were overweight. Once considered a high-income country problem,
overweight and obesity are now on the rise in low- and middle-income countries,
particularly in urban settings. Close to 35 million overweight children are
living in developing countries and 8 million in developed countries.
Overweight and obesity are linked to more
deaths worldwide than underweight. For example, 65% of the world's population
live in countries where overweight and obesity kill more people than
underweight (this includes all high-income and most middle-income countries).

SOLUTION!
Our physical appearance is a reflection of our state of health. Being
overweight is an indication of a highly toxic body due to poor digestion and
blood circulation and an inefficient defecation cycle. It is also a
manifestation of an unhealthy lifestyle characterized by a high cholesterol
diet and a sedentary lifestyle.
When one is showing signs of aging, it is a warning that the body is
starting to deteriorate and is becoming a sure candidate to chronic diseases,
cardiovascular and heart problems. Hence, managing our health is essential to
sustain ourselves, not just to look good but also for us to function at our
peak while doing our daily activities.
However, there is more to healthy living than just eating well, exercising
and seeking cure when the need arises. Edmark’s Healthy Living Catalogue
presents four basic steps called the Power 4 Slimming and Beauty Program that
will jumpstart your journey to health and over-all fitness.
STEP 1 : DETOXIFY
Detoxification is an indispensable step towards
your journey to healthy slimming. When your digestive system is clogged, your
body is unable to absorb essential nutrients. Before nourishment or slimming
can take place, you must first detoxify your body of excess fats and toxins.
STEP 2 : BURN FAT AND NOURISH
Next is burning fat from the body and getting the right amount of
nourishment. You will notice that as fat is burned, your body’s metabolism is
improved. You will start feeling lighter and more energetic, and the body
becomes better at assimilating vitamins and nutrients from the food that you
eat.
STEP 3 : BALANCE AND CLEANSE
Follow-up with a routine that will balance your body’s acidity and alkalinity.
Cleanse your system with a rich supply of oxygen. Fortify your immune system
with vitamin C and speed up the slimming process with Calcium.
STEP 4 : REJUVENATE
Finish up by rejuvenating the body with a dose of antioxidants that will
provide maximum blood and heart health benefits, and proteins for healthier and
smoother skin.
