One in seven adults in the entire world are obese; that’s one billion people. That is the whole population of India! But should obesity be treated with kid-gloves? The extent of ‘kid-gloves’ varies from person to person, but loosely speaking it means to treat something with over delicacy. Should the ‘overweight’ be ignored and not be told to improve their health status or should we take an active part in helping?
Scientists have investigated the likelihood of someone being vulnerable to a disease. You have a higher chance of suffering from heart cancer, Type 2 Diabetes, and more diseases if you are obese. It often ends up in tragic, painful and dearly death. Obesity is only a condition and can be cured, but shouldn’t necessarily always be treated with kid-gloves or with austerity.
A man of 39 years (who would rather be kept anonymous) was previously measured at 27 stone in January 2006. After avoiding the “few snacks here and there” and a bit of a “runner” a year later he lost 13 stone! He claims he feels so much better. He is “so grateful” to his professional trainer who was strictly lenient. “She insisted on a balance of relax and intense workouts and a balanced diet” this has greatly contributed to his self-esteem.
Obesity is a condition and not a disease, and can be cured. It should not be handled with kid-gloves, but it shouldn’t be a prison either. There should be a healthy diet between the two.
