Experts state that regular exercise and a healthy diet are necessary for health. Although unhealthy diet, sedentary life and harmful habits do not seem to have an effect at first, they also lay the groundwork for many diseases in the long run. Istanbul Provincial Health Director Prof. Dr. Kemal Memişoğlu, drawing attention to the danger posed by sedentary life and obesity at the event he attended, said, “We see that the weight ratios of children who sit at home and do not exercise at all are increasing. I would like to point out this risk in particular. We will be dealing with diseases caused by obesity and inactivity in particular,” he said.
DON’T TELL ME NOTHING
Speaking about the epidemic process, Prof. Dr. Kemal Memişoğlu said, “The people who suffered the most damage or lost in Covid were generally our patients who did not take good care of their bodies, were overweight, had co-morbidities, and did not exercise. Instead of experiencing this regret after ‘nothing will happen to me’, we need to raise awareness of this without actually being there. When you look at it today, Covid has become the agenda of the world, but the number of deaths from Covid and the number of deaths from diseases we call the circulatory system are incomparably different. About 17 million people in the world die annually from diseases of the circulatory system alone. Much more interesting; The cirrhotic disease due to fatty liver that we discussed is actually much more insidious and much more common.
ONE IN 4 PEOPLE HAS LUBRICATION
One of the biggest risks to this society right now is; obesity, we see fat in one of 4 people. I think one in ten of them becomes a disease. Our people should know that regret will not help after their liver is finished, when you look at it, there are many patients waiting for transplantation. We’re more happy that people don’t get sick than treat their illness. I am willing to be unemployed as long as people stay healthy,” he said.
