In the United States, the number of cases of asthma have gone up substantially along with the rise in cases of obesity. In Taiwan, research has shown that symptoms of allergies and asthma increased in correlation with each 20% increase in body mass index.

Obesity is really an epidemic these days. People have become very lazy and does not want to exercise anymore. I do a lot of jogging and brisk walking everyday just to be fit and healthy.
Obesity and diabetes are becoming more and more of a problem these days. Actually it is easy to avoid being overweight by just having the proper diet and exercise.
