Causes Of Obesity In Canada

Many fast food restaurants use inexpensive ingredients in food products such as: high amounts of sodium, cholesterol, calories, fat, and chemicals. Throughout Canada obesity is considered a long term and continuous condition. Obesity is generally caused by consuming high amounts of fats and sugars, lack of physical activity, over indulgence of fast food and having a poor diet. According to the Canadian Obesity Network, “One in four adult Canadians and one in ten children have clinical obesity, meaning six million Canadians living with obesity may require immediate support in managing their weight.” Obesity may cause other risk factors such as: diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, cancers and mental health states.
