'That was the most heartbreaking part': Australia's obesity epidemic out of control.

The main idea:

* The obesity has increased double in the past decade (2.7 million to 5.8 million).

*Quarter of Australian children are obese or overweight. 

*Obese children and teenager has increased five times than adult.

*Obesity costs the economy a lot of money .

*Government research calls for participate to solve the problem.

Summary.

The National obesity has increased double in the past decade(2.7 million to 5.8 million). According to study quarter of Australian children are obese or overweight. In addition, obese children and teenager has increased five times than adult which makes the children and teenager have more risk to get chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, asthma and sleep apnoea. Furthermore obesity costs the economy 11.8 billion (5.4 billion in direct health and 6.4 billion in indirect health). The Government research said we must share responsibility to solve this problem because if we can not make control on obesity within decade 40 per cent of Australian will be obese about (8.9 million people).  

Reflect.

My opinion, obesity is the greatest risk in our life and we have to educate ourselves and our children about health care to live healthy and be active. Also the government should stop  this epidemic and educate people through advertisements also to reduce the costs annually.
