Hi I'm Noriko.
This blog is true Blog #4. Previous Blog #4 of mine about Islam is actually fake...no just mistake! Sorry!
I'll talk about News about health area. Do you know overweight is a big social problem in Britain. Around one in every 11 deaths in the UK is now linked to carrying excess fat. This rate is 50% more than the rate in France. Britain is the "fat capital" of EU, but this problem is not only for UK but also for the whole of EU. One in two in the EU is obese or overweight. France has the lowest death rate from being obese and overweight though they don't eat less saturated fat than British and have similar cholesterol levels. Doctors are not sure the reason of it, but it has been suggested that drinking alcohol particularly red wine protect them.
If you want to know about Britain's fat problem, you get some information from here.
This is a so funny video from BBC. It may help you understand why Britain is the "fat capital"!!
Hi I'm Shiori. I didn't know UK is the "fat capital". As your video, UK people often eat fried potato, fried fish, fried chicken, I think. Maybe it is cause of fat.
ReplyDeleteHey,I'm Yuki.Me either,I didnt know it. My image is obesity problem is like American problem. Japanese people have a image that British food is not tasty.So it is weired.It seemed like Italian is most fat people in EU(Im sorry for them...)because their food is fantastic!!!
ReplyDeletePeople are fat all over the world, and it is interesting that Britain is the winner. I also had the image that their food was baaaaaaaaad. We should have a look here in Japan - there are a lot of fat Japanese people too, which sort of shatters the image of Japanese as small and thin and trim. Overeating and little moving from childhood seems to be two causes here. What do you think?
