According to the World Health Organization, obesity rates have risen three-fold or more since 1980 in some areas of Australasia and China. Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for serious diet-related chronic diseases, including type two diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer. The health consequences range from increased risk of premature death, to serious chronic conditions that reduce the overall quality of life.
A recent Wang and Lobstein's study, revealed twenty-two percent of children in Southeast Asia will be overweight by 2010.
“The statistics we are seeing on obesity in Asia are alarming. People are so busy working, but need to take time to invest in their well-being and set healthy examples for their children,” said Ms Alexander. “BeachFit gives people the opportunity to kick-start a better lifestyle and take some timeout for themselves, all over a long weekend.”
