Oxymoron
Poor diet is the leading modifiable risk factor for ill health in the UK
more than 12% of the burden of ill health was attributable to dietary risk factors. And if we add the risk from being overweight too, it's more than 20%.
Condition linked to being overweight:
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Arthritis
• Indigestion
• Gallstones
• Some cancers (including breast and prostate)
• Snoring and sleep apnoea
• Stress, anxiety, and depression
• Infertility
Although we like to think of ourselves as rational, intelligent people who make good decisions, research shows much of our behaviour in relation to food or indeed physical activity, is not a conscious, deliberative act.
Rather, it is an automatic response, shaped by the circumstances in which we find ourselves and the environment and social cues that surround us.
