The Ministry for Health‚ Welfare and Family Affairs says the number of Koreans suffering from obesity has increased over the past 10 years.
According to study results just released by the ministry more than 30 percent of Koreans are estimated to be obese a jump of 11 percentage points compared to 10 years ago.
The number of seriously overweight people who need medical treatment has doubled in that period as has the number of 12-year-olds who are obese.
[Interview : Yoon Jongsae
Obesity Clinic] "We treated 2 to 3-thousand people last year‚ but the number increased to 7-thousand this year and is expected to reach 10-thousand by the end of the year."
This is because more and more people are exercising less and less while consuming more high calorie food.
As a matter of fact‚ the number of people who take a walk for 30 minutes 5 times a week has decreased by 30 percent over the past 6 years.
This resulted in a rise in the number of people suffering from diabetes and high cholesterol.
[Interview : Kim Youngtaek
The Ministry of Health‚ Welfare and Family Affairs] "In managing your health‚ walking is better than a heavy work out. It is a serious matter that fewer people are exercising."
Also‚ people's diet habits should be changed as the report shows that people are eating more salt consuming three times more sodium than recommended but only half the suggested amount of calcium and potassium.
