Most of us know how beneficial exercise is for our health. It is surprising however, how little many of us know about the dangers of being unfit. In western Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, Nigeria, and much of the rest of the world, the number of overweight/obese people is growing alarmingly fast.
The United Kingdom has a population of 61 million. 24 million of them are overweight/obese today. Experts say it will not be long before 25% of UK's population is obese (not overweight, just obese). The United States of America has already reached that figure - in Tennessee & Alabama over 30% of adults are obese today.
9000 premature deaths each year in the UK are because of obesity. Obesity significantly reduces the lifespan of a person.
Physically active people have a much lower risk of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, & many types of cancer.
30% of heart disease deaths in the UK happen to people under 75 years of age.
