the country calls you to lose weight
There is a sense of urgency called 'the country calls you to lose weight'
"Some comrades do not manage their weight well. Their waistlines are too big, their weight is too high, and some are suffering from chronic diseases. They need the help of professional doctors and medical institutions." Recently, at the press conference on the theme of people's livelihood at the third session of the 14th National People's Congress, Lei Haichao, director of the National Health Commission, said that he would continue to promote the "Year of Weight Management" action. His earnest appeal to go to the top of the hot search was praised by netizens.
From 'If you don't lose weight in March, you'll only feel sad in April', to 'lose weight for ten years, eat for three minutes', and then to' gain three pounds every festival, look carefully and it's kilograms'... weight management is always ridiculed and comes with the hot search 'physique'. The existence of these internet memes intuitively reflects the game between self-discipline and laziness, and the self deprecating words that relieve anxiety precisely reflect the seriousness of weight management. For individuals, losing weight not only affects their appearance, but more importantly, it is detrimental to their health. As Lei Haichao introduced, the first major risk factor and disease that currently endangers the health of Chinese people still comes from chronic non communicable diseases. Many pathogenic factors are closely related to everyone's behavior, lifestyle, diet, and physical exercise, such as abnormal weight.
Behind an individual's "overweight" on a large population base is a burden that society cannot bear. The report shows that in 2018, the overweight and obesity rates among residents aged 18 and above in China reached 34.3% and 16.4% respectively, and the obesity rate among adolescents has been increasing year by year; With the deepening of population aging and changes in lifestyle, the overall incidence rate of chronic diseases such as cardio cerebrovascular diseases and cancer in China is on the rise, and the death toll of chronic diseases accounts for more than 80% of the total death toll of residents. Although the overall national health level has improved significantly in recent years, and the premature mortality rate of major chronic diseases has dropped to 15%, in the long run, because of the high incidence rate, long duration and low effective control rate of chronic diseases, it not only damages the quality of life of residents, but also brings huge medical expenditure burden and affects economic and social development.
For both individuals and society, weight management should not be handled lightly. Therefore, the "Healthy China 2030" Plan Outline clearly proposes to shift the focus from "treating already existing diseases" to "preventing diseases before they occur", highlighting the importance of moving forward and prioritizing prevention. Last June, the National Health Commission launched the "Weight Management Year" campaign in collaboration with 16 departments, which sparked a wave of discussions on related topics. During the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, it took a full 7 minutes to respond to this issue, indicating the importance attached by relevant departments to it.
Although 'keeping your mouth shut and taking a step forward' largely depends on personal will, it also cannot do without sufficient social support. According to the National Health Commission, the work will be promoted from three aspects, including continuously promoting relevant knowledge, guiding medical and health institutions to establish weight clinics, providing a good professional consulting environment and platform, and so on. These actions are necessary and practical - as we all know, the difficulty of weight management lies not in temporary actions, but in long-term persistence, which runs through a person's entire life cycle; Developing good living habits starts with small things, and the systematic project of building a healthy China also needs to start from such "small incisions" and tirelessly push for change.
Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health, so they have to be meticulous. Well, the country has once again issued a call. If we don't move now, when will we wait?
