Scientists have conducted a comparative analysis of the situation with obesity in poor, middle-developed and rich countries. It turned out that in countries with medium or weak economies, people with cars, personal computers and televisions are more likely to suffer from obesity than their less affluent fellow citizens. Scientists believe that the fault of this fact is the implantation of Western values and the simultaneous rejection of traditional ideas for certain countries. Western values are associated with increased food consumption and decreased mobility. Such a lifestyle, according to experts, is a source of risks of not only obesity, but also diabetes mellitus, as well as a number of other diseases..
The cultivation of Western values, according to researchers from Simon University, can lead to the most dire consequences in the field of health. Developed countries are examples for developing countries. In particular, in Canada, every fourth inhabitant is diagnosed with obesity. In the United States, 35% of the population is already obese. Interestingly, in developing countries, only 4% of the population had a car, personal computer and television, while in developed countries 83% of the population had these three components of success. The possession of the benefits of civilization reduced physical activity by 30%, forcing people to spend at least 20% of the time in a motionless position..
