A survey of 3000 people was conducted for the Co-Operative Pharmacy that has revealed that most people who are overweight or obese underestimate how much they weigh. In fact 1/5th of the people were unaware that being overweight can raise the chances of getting heart diseases. 60% of the sample didn't even know that being obese increases the risk of having cancer and many other fatal diseases.
This has raised the alarm for the health services that people are not aware of what should be their ideal weight and are quite happy being ignorant of the serious risks related to being overweight.
People are embarassed to discuss the obesity issues some how. In fact, most of them are afraid of weighing themselves. They don't want to know how much they weigh to begin with. According to a study published in The Lancet, British women were the fattest of all in any major western European nation.
Well, it is about time that the British people should seriously think about their weight issues. I mean they are just hurting themselves in the process and making their over all genes unstable with such carelessness. They are lucky to have so many options to work out and do physical activities to keep their weight under control. I am amazed they don't bother at all about their weight. I remember the story that my sister shared about that very fat girl from UK also. I remember UK is one place where you walk so much you are bound to stay fit and healthy. But people have become lazy I guess.
