On Thursday we had the 1st South East Asian GLOBAL NUTRITION TRANSITION CONFERENCE.
Medical and Health professionals from around SE Asia gathered in Singapore for the Global Nutrition Transition Conference in order to discuss emerging trends and grass roots solutions to the global obesity epidemic …… employing balanced nutrition and teaching healthy active lifestyles.The world is witnessing a broad and rapid shift in dietary and physical activity patterns. For the first time in human history, more people are overweight than underweight.
Obesity rates are estimated to double by 2030! This will increase worldwide problems - Diabetes, Cardio Vascular Disease, Alzheimers, Metabolic Syndrome and other chronic diseases.
Childhood obesity is climbing quickly. These children are now at risk of being fat forever!
Highlighted was the epidemic and issues particular to south east asia. Metabolic Syndrome is increasing throughout the region - even in non obese persons. It is estimated to increase in the next 20 years by 170%-200% !!
The conference discussed the impact of what is termed the Nutrition Transition - the effect of the globalisation of the Western diet which is changing dietary patterns and the incidence of overweight and obesity on the world's population and what personalised solutions, balanced nutrition and a healthy, active lifestyle can do to combat this global concern.
Presenters focused on the dramatic increases in the incidence of overweight and obesity in countries where, until recently, obesity was virtually unknown. Primarily Obesity & Nutrition Trends within our own Asia Pacific Region.
As developing countries become more prosperous, they begin to share the health problems of the industrialised world – including huge increases in the number of adults and children who are carrying excess weight. In countries such as India, Philippines, China, Vietnam etc … the recent migration to cities from rural areas, the expansion of western fast food outlets into these countries and the increase in personal incomes has been accompanied by an increased incidence of overweight and obesity with skyrocketing associated health issues.
The latest data, science, research and nutritional insights were discussed by an awesome panel of distinguished doctors and leading experts in the fields of health and nutrition - Dr David Heber, Prof Anoop Misra from India, Dr Belong Cho from Korea and Dr Shih-Yi Huang from Taiwan discussed the problems and then solutions to the worlds biggest modern epidemic - obesity & associated effects. They shared their knowledge on the challenges and solutions surrounding Nutrition Transition – The Global Obesity Epidemic and Current Trends in Nutrition.
The impact on health, lifestyle and the hospital systems. Diabetes trends are out of control! Young adults and children being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Do you want to lower your risk?? Secure a better life for your children? The concerns about childhood obesity – Fat kids are destined to be FAT adults with a shorter life expectancy. Our kids are the first generation that is dying before their parents!
