Obese men are 3 TIMES as likely to get any of these serious conditions as their normal weight peers by middle age

Obese men had DOUBLE the rates of high blood pressure

Obese men are TWICE as likely to have died before the age of 55

 Being overweight, obese or carrying a large waist

Contributes over 50% of fatal heart attacks

Gives men a 49% increased risk of heart failure and by 11% for every extra 3kg of flab they carry

Raises ovarian cancer risk for women by 80%

Causes 24% of adult-onset diabetes

Causes 24% of osteoarthritis

Causes 22% of cardiovascular diseases

Causes 20% of colorectal, breast, uterine and kidney cancer

Accelerates the growth of many cancers by more than 50%

Being overweight from an early age boosts the risk of premature death by 50%

Causes weaker bones and osteoporosis

Gives an 80% lower chance of reaching age 70 without disease

In 2008 alone, over 124,000 people in Europe developed cancer just through being overweight

Being overweight will become the biggest cause of cancer deaths in women by 2018

A large belly gives an 80%-360% higher chance of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia

Gives women MORE THAN DOUBLE the risk of dying of heart disease, stroke or cancer, and dramatically increases your risk of dying young

Being overweight gives a 180% higher risk of suffering or dying of breast cancer

Increases your risk of painful fibromyalgia by 60%

Leads to sexual problems for women and impotence for men

The more overweight you are; the smaller and more aged your brain becomes, and the faster your reasoning, memory and other mental skills fall

Children born to overweight mothers have more body fat, live a much shorter life and have up to 50% higher risk of congenital heart defects, other illnesses and early death

Being overweight in your 40s dramatically increases the risk of multiple chronic diseases, impaired cognitive function, loss of physical function and mental health in your 60s – just 20 years later

Being obese at 40 means a life expectancy of 68

Being obese at 20 means you lose 13-20 years of life

Being obese as a kid doubles the risk of heart disease and early death

Obese kids also suffer leg pain, deformed skeletons and aching bones from the excess weight

Being obese shortens your cells chromosomes telomere length, and the shorter your telomere, the higher your risk of high blood pressure and early death

Obese people have a 21% higher risk of dying from cancers of the large intestine, breast, ovary, cervix, and prostate, and leukaemia

Obesity raises risk of renal cancer by 48%

Obesity doubles your risk of kidney stones, and directly leads to diabetes, hypertension and stroke

At least 30% of teenagers are now at risk of coronary disease already, due to weight-gain and inactivity

Obesity at 20 means you are twice as likely to die young of a preventable disease

A study on over 85,000 Canadians carried out by the University of Ottawa, found that obesity among women led to an 85% increase in asthma risk, compared to women who were not obese

Over 7,000 studies including the World Cancer Research Fund tell us that being even slightly overweight increases the risk of oesophagus, liver, pancreas, bowel, breast, kidney, prostate, ovarian and womb cancers.

Over 90,000 needless cancer deaths per year could be avoided if we just ate less

Obesity is likely to shorten your life by AT LEAST 15 years.
