SOUTH AFRICA IS SLOWLY EATING IT'S SELF TO DEATH!!!

Health and Active Gansbaai Gym

Research found:

·       49% of South Africans do not exercise

·       71% have never dieted. Most worryingly

·       17% of children under nine are overweight

 

 

"What we have found is that obesity is not more prevalent in the lower social class than the upper so it's certainly not a middle class issue. It's an issue facing all of South Africa”

 

 

·       78% of obese people and 52% of morbidly obese people regard themselves as somewhat healthy or very healthy. Some 42% have no health concerns and only 47% recognise that exercise and physical fitness are critical.

 

"People are in denial and don't realise how overweight they are," said Jonathan Girling, GSK vice-president for consumer healthcare

 

"Unbelievably, when they are overweight they consider themselves as healthy." Jonathan Girling, GSK vice-president for consumer healthcare

 

The ANSWER

 

Never fear, we are hear!  Our team is dedicated to helping you eat right, and physically get you back on track!  The comments may seem harsh from Jonathan Girling, but health guidelines are in place to keep us all physically healthy.  Obesity is now considered to be a disease as well HIV/AIDS in Africa.
