Guangzhou Daily News (all media reporter Zhang Qingmei correspondent Zhang Cancheng, Chen Xiaomei, Zhou Xiaoxing) Bad eating habits are an important cause of obesity. Nowadays, some young people prefer to stay at home and do not go out. Takeaway has become the first choice for many people’s three meals. Most of the food consumed by takeaway food is high in oil, high fat and high salt, with less vegetables and more meat. Over time, the risk of gaining weight is high. increase. Experts remind that to stay away from obesity, focus on prevention.
Obesity has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a chronic metabolic disease that can cause more than 50 diseases, including more than a dozen cancers. What is more worthy of vigilance is that the number of obese people in my country is increasing year by year.
In recent years, the trend of obesity and youth has become more and more obvious, and poor eating habits are an important incentive. Professor Wang Cunchuan, Chairman of the Obesity and Diabetes Surgeons Committee of the Surgeons Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association and Vice President of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, pointed out that the trend of obesity and youth is intensifying, and one of the important “culprits” is take-out. Nowadays, some young people prefer to stay at home If they don’t go out, takeout has become the first choice for many people’s three meals. Most of the food consumed by takeout is high in oil, fat and salt, with less vegetables and more meat. Over time, it is easy to increase the risk of gaining weight.
Mr. Qingyuan Liang (pseudonym), 35, is a typical example. He has been obese since childhood, and his weight has remained around 240 pounds after work. For the past two years, he has been working as a game booster at home, ordering takeaways every day, eating at irregular times and chaotic work and rest. He was already overweight and his weight was out of control. During this time at home, his weight soared to 433.2 pounds and his hip circumference was 205 cm. Even normal walking was a problem. One month after the bariatric surgery, the trabecular weight decreased by 80 catties, and the metabolic syndrome such as diabetes was relieved to a certain extent.
A feature article published in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology in 2021 pointed out that the number of obesity in China has increased fourfold in the past 40 years. What’s even more worrying is that many people have huge misunderstandings about losing weight, starving, taking diet pills… After finally losing a few pounds, they rebounded within a few days. Wang Cunchuan said that weight loss cannot be blinded, especially for patients diagnosed with obesity, they must lose weight under the guidance of professional doctors.
The popular weight loss surgery in recent years also tends to be overly “mythical”. Wang Cunchuan said that bariatric surgery is a professional surgery, not a “net celebrity surgery”. It has strict surgical guidelines, and good living habits should be developed after surgery to achieve the goal of maintaining an ideal weight.
