The World Health Organization presented the "2012 World Health Statistics" on Wednesday. It indicated that more and more people have high blood pressure and diabetes. The major reason is due to being overweight, as well as lack of exercise because of a heavy work schedule.
This report contains data from 194 countries and reveals that one-third of adults in the world have high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the main cause of death because it can cause stroke and heart disease. I wonder how many people world-wide have these diseases? The answer is very shocking...about one-tenth of adults world-wide, have diabetes. We really need to pay attention to our eating habits.
