What is done to help reduce obesity rates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Activity / Portions!: Non-insulin dependent diabetes is related to obesity, which is caused by excessive intake of carbs, such as those present in sugars for all sources. The origins of the global obesity epidemic can be tracked to our modern life style where activity has been engineered out of daily life, while we eat larger portions of calorie dense processed foods. The body stores unused calories as fat cells.
