Unfortunately, in the short term, the obesity problem is going to get worse.  High levels of education regarding nutrition are required alongside tighter rules on food labelling. We need better regulation and better signposting said George of Personal Trainer Manchester Co.

Some of the time, low fat means higher sugar, And as most of us do not take the time to read labelling and understand how much sodium for example is in the food we buy.  They just read the traffic light labelling, red, amber, and green.  

It isn’t just attitudes to food that will cause us future health problems.  Our approach to general; health will become an issue with the decline in levels of fitness in the general population.  Recent research shows that if trends continue, by 2020 41 per cent of adult males will be obese with a further 40 per cent overweight.

Decline in cardio fitness is also an issue with the decline in the UK twice that of the global average.  There must be a legacy, and that legacy must be to increase general activity.  Itís very difficult to change the habits of today’s adults but maybe not our children who are far more adaptable. Good job says George again of the Personal Trainer Manchester Co.

Schools need to put the fitness back into physical education; its suggested that there is too much theory and not enough practice. They key is to find routines people can maintain; cycling or even walking in your lunch hour are all things that can be easily built in to our day.  Behaviour change is the key here; to get the individual to say want to do this.
