Mexico: Country of obesity

In recent years, Mexico has positioned itself among the first places in obesity in the world.

Hmmmm… That 2013 in which we took first place from the USA in obesity.  ** Do you still remember it? The good thing is that measures, plans, taxes, work and a lot of capital were allocated to this alarming situation and now… We have returned to our usual second place 🙂 (sarcasm) What will happen in the country? Why are we so used to having an eating problem? It goes without saying that obesity goes beyond an aesthetic requirement. It is a situation that brings many health problems, from diabetes, hypertension to death itself. According to experts, this was the result of a transition period that took several years. An increase in the consumption of high-calorie foods and the reduction in their price had a lot of influence. The decrease in physical activity given the insecurity to be active in public places (due to insecurity) was another big factor. The pressure we have within our lifestyle is such that even this sneaked into the variables. It was determined that the lifestyle we try to lead involves so much time, that there is almost nothing left to cook at home. And all this is just the tip of the iceberg. The point with all this is that, we don’t have very good eating manners and I’m not talking about manners. I’m talking about we have to learn to eat healthily and give ourselves the time to do it. If we don’t do it, we will most likely continue to circle between the first two places for obesity. A situation… not very nice, really. Let’s do what we have to do!  Making the change in ourselves first, discovering new ways to achieve it and sharing information, is the best thing we can do 🙂
