Hey there! Did you know that 70% of people in the Chinese mainland want to get healthier and lose weight? 😮 That’s a big number!
A new report, called a white paper, found that lots of adults are thinking about weight management. Over 60% are ready to spend time and effort to reach their goals! 🏃♀️🥦
But here’s something interesting: half of these adults think they’re a healthy weight, but their Body Mass Index (BMI) says otherwise. BMI is a way to measure if someone’s weight is healthy based on their height and weight. About 14% of people who think they’re just right are actually overweight according to their BMI. 🤔
Why does this matter? Well, being overweight can lead to health problems like heart diseases and diabetes. So understanding your true health is super important! ❤️
To help with this, the Chinese authorities started a big plan in June 2024. They’re encouraging hospitals all over the country to help people manage their weight. By next year, they hope almost all hospitals will have special centers for this! 🏥
Lots of people are already making changes. More than half are eating healthier by choosing foods with less oil, salt, and sugar. Some are even finding healthy meal replacements. 🍏🥗
The report also says we need more support to help everyone stay healthy. That means learning more about weight control and finding the best ways to stay fit! 📚💪
What do you do to stay healthy? Maybe it’s playing your favorite sport, dancing, or just running around with friends! Remember, being active and eating well can make a big difference. 🌟
