Energy Balance Fllipping Point Case Study
INTRODUCTION
On a global scale, the world is facing the problem of overeating. The overconsumption of products leads to overweight and obesity epidemics that have as a consequence numerous chronic diseases. This issue has a tendency to to be challenging in being controlled, as it constitutes a multifactorial issue and a range of aspects contribute to its existence. However, these epidemics are principally diet induced and are attributed in overconsumption of industrial high energy products and in technology improvements as well as in the low physical activity.

Obesity constitutes a multifaceted issue that is resulting from a mixture of mental, national, social, financial, environmental, geographic and genetic factors [1]. The most critical …show more content…
Their results demonstrate that the increase in product energy amount was more than adequate to elucidate the increment of obesity in the United States from the period of 1970, and the overweight rise in the United Kingdom from 1980. In the Figure 1 of the APPENDIX, it is illustrated a theory that is trying to explain the reason of the onset of obesity in United States, and it is known as “Energy balance flipping point”. The theory behind “Energy Balance Flipping Point” is that at first population became more physically inactive as a result of technological development in the start of 20th century. As a result, it followed a decrease in the energy expenditure, as there was a less energy demand. However, the population did not start to be overweight until the period of 1970 decade. With the initiation of massive products’ manufacturing there was a high availability of low-priced food products and that is supposed to had increased the food consumption by means of high consumption due to high availability, that set eating more as a habitual fact than a need of hunger satisfaction …show more content…
Modern living environment lead the population in overeating, due to the convenience of product acquisition and consumption. The increment of the obesity appeared to arise it the counties with high salaries and then a high amount of middle and low income countries followed the worldwide flow in obesity epidemic. However, it is hard to be given an explanation in the reason of why individuals adopt this eating behavior when its long term consequences are well established. Measures should be taken, as obesity can be prevented, by modifying the trends that result in the present crisis, after alteration in public strategies and practices and the usage of tax implementation, in order healthy products and physical activity choices to be feasible for
