So if you are an advanced-level ESL TOEIC student or a high intermediate level, this video lesson is perfect for you.
One issue that affects people all over the world is obesity. In this two-part series, we will examine the global obesity epidemic, its causes, and its consequences.
Part 1: Understanding the Global Obesity Epidemic
Obesity is a serious health issue that affects millions of people worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight, while a BMI below 25 is considered normal.
The global obesity epidemic is a complex issue that is influenced by a range of factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle. One of the main causes of obesity is overconsumption of energy-dense foods that are high in fat, sugar, and salt. These foods are often cheaper and more readily available than healthier options, making it difficult for people to make healthier choices.
In addition to poor nutrition, a sedentary lifestyle is also a major contributor to obesity. Many people today spend hours each day sitting at a desk, in front of a computer, or watching television. This lack of physical activity leads to a decrease in energy expenditure and can contribute to weight gain.
The consequences of obesity can be severe and wide-ranging. Obesity increases the risk of developing a range of health conditions, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. It can also lead to a reduced quality of life, as people with obesity may experience mobility issues and other health problems.
