Obesity raises Bowel and Breast cancer risks;

There are many people overweight or obese - and they say they are "comfortable" with their weight, and that people should mind their own business.  But study after study suggests that they are causing themselves more and more problems, especially with preventable disease.  It also costs the NHS a huge amount of money. You can choose!!!!

Now it is reported that being too fat dramatically raises the risk of dying from bowel and breast cancers. In fact, they report that every year spent overweight between the age of 20 and 50 raises the risk of fatal bowel cancers by four per cent, and for breast cancer by three per cent.

But the worst news is for people who consistently remain overweight for many years - the risk of fatal bowel cancer rises to an incredible 224 per cent, and for breast cancer by 143 per cent.  Although experts studied 47000 women, they expect similar results for men.  So remaining overweight, and doing nothing about, can end your life!!!! Why would you not lose weight???

Two thirds of adults are now reported to be overweight or obese. Two thirds!!!!!! It can raise key hormones, damage DNA and trigger inflammation. All of these are linked to tumour growth

Researcher Doctor Isabella Soerjomataram, of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, said: "our research shows that effective prevention of overweight and obesity must start at an early age." More than 55000 Brits are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, with 11,500 dying - and many of these cases are preventable with lifestyle choice changes.  Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK. There are 40,000 new cases annually, with 16000 deaths.  It is thoughts that at least ten per cent are caused by being overweight or obese.

HMHB says:
For many people, being overweight is self-inflicted. Yes, there are certain medical conditions that can affect your size, but most cases are down to overeating, little exercise, and sedentary lifestyles. The fact that many of these deaths are preventable is shocking. You can do something about it. You do not have to do it on your own. There are many organisations and free interventions that can help you lose weight. It can save your life!!!! Where is the choice?? What do you want???
