Obesity medicine specialist Wang Ziyun pointed out in her face a few days ago that Taiwan’s obesity rate is ten times that of Japan, not because of lack of exercise. She pointed out five problems, including a high proportion of foreign food, a culture of culture, Westernized diet, not eating breakfast every day, and obesity problems that start small, which are the real reasons for obesity in Taiwanese people.

Taiwanese love sports than Japanese, and are fatter than Japanese

Recently, a media reported that Taiwan's obesity rate is 10 times higher than Japan, and not loving sports is the main reason. Obesity medicine specialist Wang Ziyun recently scolded her on her face. She cited the "world's least sporting country" survey conducted by the medical journal The Lancet before and found that more than 60% of people in Japan do not love sports, ranking 11th in the world. The United States is 40% who loves sports, ranking 46th. The obesity rate of 42% in the United States who loves sports is also far higher than that of Japan, so "not loving sports is not a cause of obesity."

The Ministry of Education and Sports Office of the Ministry of Education announced the results of the current situation of sports in 111. The proportion of Chinese people participating in the sports population after the epidemic reached 81.8%, and the proportion of the regular sports population has reached "34%" for the first time since 20103. Japan's investigation after the epidemic increased by 3.9 percentage points. Therefore, Taiwan has a proportion of regular sports. In fact, the population is far higher than that of Japan. It is completely wrong to blame Taiwanese people for their obesity. Wang Ziyun believes that the reason why they are thin is "still have a lot to do with the content of their diet." She found several reasons for obesity in Taiwanese:

5 reasons for obesity in Taiwanese

1. The proportion of external food is high, unlike the ones that are cooked by Japan and self-made breakfasts. Moreover, Japanese restaurants are mainly "set food", and the portion size is easy to control.

2. Taiwan's culture: Taiwan's roads are delicious and cheap, and can eat quickly and easily, which is more likely to have excessive amounts and risk of obesity. Most of the foods on the roads are high in oil, high in sugar and high in salt, and most of the food additives (cheap costs).

3. Even if the Japanese have integrated European and American diets, they are more common in large quantities of vegetables, soybean foods, seaweed and high-fat fish. The meat and salt are still less than European and American, but there are more advantages, dairy products and coffee. However, the Westernized diet of Taiwanese people is mainly caused by high fat and high salt content. (Data from the 15th year of 80,000 Japanese diet study by the National Medical Research Center and the National Cancer Research Center)

4. Taiwanese people’s bad breakfast habits: According to a latest survey on healthy breakfast in 11 regions in Asia Pacific, nearly one-quarter of Taiwanese visitors do not have breakfast habits every day. Even if they eat breakfast, the highest is as high as 70% of them do not eat protein-containing foods and 80% do not eat fruits and vegetables. However, the fat consumption ratio is the highest in Asia Pacific! For example: Fry the bun with oil and water.

5. Obesity problems that start with children lead to high obesity rates in which adults remain high or even rise. The obesity rate of boys and girls aged 5-19 in Taiwan is more than three times that of Japan, and is the highest among the four little dragons in Asia! Retirement in the United States will consider childhood obesity a national security problem.
