More serious than the coronavirus! After the current pandemic, the UN predicts a pandemic of obesity
The obesity pandemic threatens the whole world, according to the UN. This conclusion was made in the organization because many people lost their earnings due to the coronavirus pandemic and now cannot afford healthy food.
In the coming years, humanity may face a global obesity pandemic. Such a disappointing forecast was made by UN experts. According to the organization, the number of overweight people in developed countries is growing dangerously.
The UN notes that the number of obese people exceeds the number of hungry people by several times. About three billion people on Earth cannot afford a healthy diet, buying cheap, harmful products, and this can lead to a pandemic of obesity.
It is no secret that overweight people are prone to diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. UN experts note that in general, due to the obesity pandemic, health care costs in the world may increase by $ 1.3 trillion per year in the next 10 years.
