The articles below are testament to Malaysia playing a large part in the growing "Globesity" problems. Through the New Straits Times, the Malaysian government and the W.H.O. provide statistics that are unsettling, and increasing.
Having lived in Malaysia for almost 2 years, I have come to accept that this truly is a food country, the majority of population are so proud of their national cuisine, (and they have every right to be for the delicious tastes), that they have redefined the use of the word "supper" and its not unusual to have 5 meals a day, including the "supper" between midnight & 2am. It is true that alot of food that Malaysia offers is very tasty, yet by eating such foods consistently (high in calories/fats/oils/sugars...etc) coupled with a decrease in physical activity (as the world has now moved towards a working environment modelled around computers and sitting down alot of the time), and then of course movement in tropical countries is almost always involving taxis, cars, motorbikes, escalators, elevators...etc! Is the price people are paying really worth it? Please ask yourself this question.
There is a huge problem, and it doesn't take a mathematical genius to figure out that we really are what we eat!
Linked directly to obesity are problems such as diabetes, cancer, heart-attack & stroke, and not only are the numbers jumping up each year, but the age of people suffering such lifestyle diseases is getting younger and younger, more and more children are suffering these same problems that traditionally were associated mainly to adults.
So what must one do about it? The key is WELLNESS. 3 main steps to achieve this are, 1) Drink plenty of water, 2) Regular exercise & 3) Good Balanced Nutrition.
