Wording:
The task is to learn about obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases.
Time:
hours
Introduction:
Diseases like obesity, diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure and cardiovascular<br /> diseases are called life style diseases, because they come from the life style of modern<br /> humans. They are the major killers in the developed world.<br /> <br /> The human body is not meant to live like the majority of people do in the developed<br /> world – sitting down and sleeping – meaning being physically inactive – for up to 20<br /> hours a day, eating processed and GMO food and being stressed. This lifestyle takes<br /> its toll on our bodies and over the years this can lead to deadly diseases.<br /> It takes firm decisions to avoid these life style diseases.<br /> <br /> In this task we will take a look at the 4 major life style diseases: Obesity, diabetes,<br /> high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases to understand what they are and why<br /> they are so prevailing in the developed world. In other tasks we will focus on all the<br /> things we can do to avoid getting them.<br /> <br /> Globally, there are more than 1 billion overweight adults, at least 300 million<br /> of them obese. Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for diseases such as type 2<br /> diabetes, heart diseases and certain forms of cancer.<br /> <br /> The key causes are increased consumption of food with too much unhealthy<br /> fat and sugars, and reduced physical activity. Not only rich countries have large part<br /> of the population as obese. Mexico and South Africa have more than 20%<br /> obese people.<br /> <br /> More than 180 million people worldwide have diabetes.<br /> <br /> This number is likely to more than double by 2030. Just India is predicted to<br /> have 80 million people with diabetes by then. Over 1 million people die annually from<br /> diabetes. The increase in deaths and people with diabetes is related to food<br /> habits and lifestyle. An example of such unhealthy eating habit: 20% of US<br /> fast food meals are taken in cars!<br /> <br /> High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood<br /> against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems,<br /> such as heart disease.<br /> <br /> Cardiovascular disease is a general term that describes a disease of the heart or blood<br /> vessels. Blood flow to the heart, brain or body can be reduced as the result of a blood<br /> clot (thrombosis), or by a build-up of fatty deposits inside an artery that cause the<br /> artery to harden and narrow – this can lead to heart attacks and stroke.
Directive:
1. Watch the documentary: “Skinny on obesity” by University of California,<br /> Robert Lustig.<br /> <br /> 2. Watch the documentary: “What happens when you have diabetes?”, from<br /> www.diabetes.org.uk.<br /> <br /> 3. Read the two files: “How to lower the blood pressure” and “Cardiovascular<br /> fitness”, own production, 2012.<br /> <br /> 4. Consider the 4 life style diseases and explain why these are so common in our<br /> developed world – what are the main cause of this?<br /> <br /> 5. Send the explanation to your teacher.
