Hungary is the most obese country in Europe – 2/3rd of the adults are overweight
Many Hungarian children and adults omit breakfast, which is a huge mistake according to dietitians. Even though obesity and illnesses it causes are leading causes of death in Hungary, Hungarian mothers consider catching a cold a bigger threat regarding their children than becoming overweight.
Overweight leads to cancer
According to Hajnalka Takács, a dietitian, two out of three Hungarian adults are obese. Furthermore, overweight is also a problem among children. Most adults omit breakfast which sets a horrible example for their kids and at the same time, it is very unhealthy. According to her, data show that there is a
direct proportion between child obesity and not eating breakfast.
She also highlighted the importance of doing exercises and eating healthy meals. Fighting overweight can be started by changing small elements in the diet like eating sour cream containing only 12 pc fat instead of consuming its 20 pc counterpart – said Takács.
Obesity is very dangerous not only because it leads to heart and cardiovascular diseases but also because, according to the British Institute of Cancer Research, by 2043, it will become the main cause of cancer in Great Britain. In fact, overweight can induce 13 different types of cancer and women are even in bigger danger since it can cause breast cancer, as well.
