What risks do you face if you are overweight or obese?

• 5-93X higher risk of getting DIABETES (90% of those with Type 2 Diabetes are obese or overweight).
• 25-33% more likely to get colon, prostate, endometrial, oesophageal, kidney, and post-menopausal breast CANCERS.
• Twice as likely as leaner people to suffer a STROKE.
•   3-6X higher risk of developing HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
•   For obese men, 21% more likely to develop GALLSTONES.
•   For obese women, 7X is more likely to develop GALLSTONES.
•   Obesity can reduce LIFE EXPECTANCY by up to 9 years.

Can’t lose weight? 

Often it’s because of things you are exposed to.

Obesogens are chemical compounds that make and keep you fat.

They are found:

• in common plastics and household items (eg: water bottles, shower curtains, non-stick pans and air fresheners);
• in food and water (as food additives, and also in food/drinks packaging materials);
• in personal care products (eg: shampoo, hair spray and nail varnish) and cleaning products (eg: laundry detergents and household cleaners); and
• in the air that we breathe in the form of pollutants (eg: fine particles such as those found in cigarette smoke and haze).

Antibiotics can affect the bacteria in our gut, which in turn affects our appetite and metabolism, thus making us fat. Antibiotics are used as growth promoters for farm animals.

High-fat, high-sugar diets change intestinal bacteria, leading to weight gain. What matters is not how much you eat, but what you eat.
