Obesity issues in Mexico














Obesity and overweight problems un Mexico are causing severe health issues on people who suffer these disorders. Another problem is the huge economic cost for medical facilities because, some researches show taht in this year (2010), 80 billions pesos have been spent to attend to needs of patients with obesity diseases caused by obesity and overweight.

According to a study of the New England Journal of Medicine, only 13 percent of parents accept that their children have overweight and obesity problems because it is very difficult to convince them to modify the eating habits of themselves.

In my concern Ithink that we have to take care about children habits because they are still naive and they can eat a lot of junk food thinking that is healthy for them.

this problem is one of the most worrying in any country because the horrible thing about obesity are the diseases that cause this problem such as diabetes, fatty liver and heart attacks

I think the way to eliminate or minimize this problem is educating the community about eating habits.

interesting theme!!

Considering the big variety of food that we have in this country is difficult to understand how eating habits went so wrong...

it´s our duty to change that, starting with ourselves.

Vegetables and fruit are a good start.

Well I think that the obesity is a big problem but nowadays the fast food is part of our life style, not just because is an option if you don`t have enough time to sit and have a healthy meal,some people prefer those kind of food.

The problem is our culture, If we had the habit to plan our meals we would get a better healht

This topic is very interesting because it shows the real problem that Mexico has. Mexico is the first country with obesity in children.

but I think if we teach to children to eat healthy food they won´t suffer some diseases and the people might live more time.

Unfortunately this problem isn't easy to resolve because the majority of the mexicans don't have good habits of nourish and this causes the obesity.
