see themselves as part of a multi paula world where their needs are heard and results are delivered. and just so you get the full picture together. they encompass around half of the world, the bread, the scruples, developing nations alone, which has just expanded significantly. well, now account for 37 percent of the world cdp such countries, especially the global south, wants to feel that their voices matter in the international arena. and they expect an organizational life. the g 20. so take services into account as much as it does for western powers. otherwise, what's the point? gotcha, so i have coverage all the world's most powerful economic summit to an audience, and i saw throughout this coming weekend. well, so for this news out as a way that's great to have your company here on all t i'm. well that's allow me the

the there is a fine line between body positivity and medical truth. many people just don't want to hear. well that jamie is cool and now there's a growing movement of body positivity coming out to help people embrace their natural sizes. a debate has emerged if it has lower the lives of major risks that are linked with having excess weight to the main message here is not about fat versus then. but focusing on lowering the risks for heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. i'm because the i and you're watching the cost of everything we're today, we're going to be examining the costs and dangers of obesity.

the world obese. the federation has projected that the cost of obesity will store with over half of the world's population being over weight or obese by 2035. the reported economic impact of a high b m. i could read $4.00 trillion dollars annually, which is roughly 3 percent of global gdp or about the same impact as club what's called the 19. no country has ever seen a decline in obese. the prevalence says 1975, which means that more adolescence enter adulthood with these stablish risk factors for chronic disease. the biggest cost increases are projected for low and middle income countries were obesity. rates are growing. the fastest obesity is projected to increase 4 full by 2060 in high income areas and 12 times in lower resource settings. obesity is detrimental to health increasing the risk of stroke heart

attacks, diabetes, to depression and higher cluster rates. diabetes and particular effects $21000000.00 americans, which push up the bill. a heart attack costs $44000.00 a stroke cost $40200.00. an end state 10 need diseases cost $37000.00 even amputating a tow, which is what happens to untreated diabetics will cost $15000.00 to and it's not just a vanity thing. dale base is expensive. the national cost of obesity is a $122000000000.00 per year, mostly in health care costs. this means that per year, the cost of obesity for a man is about $2646.00. and adding the value of last life will increase it to $6519.00. for a woman, the individual cost of obesity amounts to about $4879.00. so where

does that cost come from? it's more than just medical expenses. annually obese women who earn over $30000.00 per year will make almost $2000.00 less per year. then the women of healthy weight, obese man, on the other hand, will only lose about $75.00 annually. the massive monetary distinction between the 2 o b scripts show that women are penalized harder than men for being obese. another study focusing on us, canada, britain and denmark showed that women with obesity take a 10 percent income hits compared to normal b m. i women obese employees tend to use more sick days than others with a healthy, via my and they can expect to have a harder time being hired and going up for promotions. employee productivity is also correlated to obesity. those who are bees have self reported limitations than

others, including the amount of work that can be performed each day. the average cost and reduced productivity per year, amounts to over 350 dollars each year. the other higher costs for obese people include higher insurance premiums for medicare, higher gasoline use, higher disability pension insurance, and even having to purchase extra seats on a flight heavy people's life insurance payments are 2 to 4 times as large. and now with this in mind, let's bring in dr. kelly roadless, psychologist and eating disorder specialist. sure, thank you so much for having me. now. what is the biggest cause of obesity? is it because there's just too much food and too many calories everywhere? or is it because we have such a sedentary lifestyle? these is well, i mean, i think that's a really interesting question. um, as a clinical psychologist who specializes in the treatment of eating disorders, i come from a different perspective when it comes to obesity. in general,

i don't actually see obesity as a primary diagnosis for anyone. i see obesity as a symptom of a larger issue. and so i think if, if i'm going to answer it in terms of what i know how most people view obesity, what i would say is, i think there are a lot of i'm, i'm diagnosed mental health conditions that actually influenced the way we feed ourselves. and because they're on diagnosed, people are struggling and the only thing that people are talking about is the obvious sign of a weight gain. but i don't actually see obesity as a primary medical condition. i usually i think that there's some bigger issues. typically, mental health issues going on that impact the way a person feeds themselves. and how prevalent is obesity rates amongst kids today. i mean, i think it depends on what you're looking at. i would say that there are some, you know, research studies that are saying that the obesity is such a big problem in children that you know, i, our life, it's expectancy as

a whole has lowered and that it's a direct result of obesity. there are other numbers that suggest it's like, you know, 3040 percent of all kids are struggling with that. again, like i said, i, and that those numbers missed the point and are really focusing on the underlying issues and are treating obesity as a medical condition rather than a symptom of something else. and now how can we tackle this problem of abuse when it seems like most people are too afraid to even talk about it, arguing that it is anti body positivity? well, i think that's a really important question because again, my idea and my belief and what the research really shows us is that obesity is not the real problem. that obesity might be a symptom of a problem. and the sign that the idea of obesity might not even exist for some people, right? if we look at the way we even determine what obesity is, that's determined by the b m i. and there's been

a lot of research that shows that the b m. i was not developed as a way of determining health that it was developed by a statistician that had no background in health. and we actually have more um, other tools to help us identify someone's health issues that have nothing to do with the my so be my has been shown in, you know, by research standards to have some races under paintings and to give people the idea that they are healthy or unhealthy when it's really not based on health at all . so if we remove the idea of the mind from the table, then that forces us to look at people on an individual basis and look at who they are as a person and look at their health, different health, uh, metabolic factors, instead of just saying, oh, if you are this number on a scale, and this is your height. we're going to assume that you lack health. and the reason why this is important is because when we look at are we used to be my as a measure of how there are people that get over diagnosed. and people that get

under diagnose, for example, there are, there are a quarter of normal weight people have metabolic abnormalities, which means people that are considered normal weight or underway have high blood pressure, high blood, she for, and psycho restaurants. but if you're not looking at their numbers and you're only looking at their weight, those conditions could get missed. further testing might not be asked for because they looked like they're in a normal body. likewise, there are, there are folks who are in larger bodies who are, who are being seen as problematic when, if you were to look at their blood work, a quarter of folks who fall under the category of overweight or obese. do not have any medical indicators that their health has been compromised. so when we only use health as a diagnosis, we always wait as a way of district terminate who's healthy and who's not. we actually end up hurting our provider's ability to really see people as individuals and give them the help that they need. so i think when we're talking about,

and i'm assuming when we talk about obesity, what we really need to say is we're wanting people to have a better quality of life. we're wanting people to have a healthy lifestyle. i think it's important that we actually look at those factors that determine that and not just focus on weight in and of itself, does g hmo and preservice play a big role in contributing to the obesity epidemic? absolutely, i do think that there's a really big problem with how the food industry has been able to sort of change the way that we feed ourselves without our consent. you know, in, in general, the idea of the f d a was there to protect us from things like this. but unfortunately, it seems like that institution is no longer as protective as it used to be. and you know, the data doesn't lie. when you look at some of the other countries around the world and the different things that they have set are not allowed in their countries but are still allowed in our own. the data doesn't lie. a lot of these foods that have

been tampered with no longer a treat our bodies the way we think that they should be treated right. they no longer help our bodies in the way that we are hoping that they will be help. so i do believe that there is a roost to, you know, our foods being tampered with, that absolutely has an impact on our health. but again, i don't believe that it's just about obesity. i believe that it has an impact on a lot of different areas of our life that need just as much attention and that again, if we're worried about health, there are real ways besides b m, i to identify people that are struggling with health issues. now there are countries that do not have access to foods and malnourished kids who are not getting enough calories. so how is that possible when you have a b city and over nutrients and other countries? absolutely, i mean, i think especially when we're talking about children like we have to acknowledge all the different things that go into how a person chooses the booth at the apps. are there things like food deserts?

yes. like places where, you know, there aren't, there isn't a lot of access to high quality food. absolutely. could that influence how he person feeds themselves and therefore influence a person's weight? sure. but i do not believe that that is responsible for the vast majority of folks that are struggling. and i think that that is a oversimplification of what most people are dealing with who are in larger bodies . i think the other thing to consider is that, um, as humans, we don't all come in one size. we don't all come in one shape. we don't all come with one height and we're fairly comfortable with the idea that our heights are different and that they're determined by genetics and a lot of other forces that are outside of our control. but we don't like to talk about that in terms of weight as well. there is such a thing as people being able to be healthy at every size. so it, what that really says is that you can't really look at someone and say, oh that because they look a particular way that they must be unhealthy, or it must be because of not having access to good foods. so you've got

a group of people who are labeled obesity, right, labeled obese, and it probably has a lot to do with genetics. and they might have no other metabolic issues, meaning they don't have high blood pressure. they don't have high blood sugar. they don't have i, let's draw but they're labeled as problem matic just because they are genetically prone to be in a larger body. and then you have folks who have underlying mental health conditions where for example, depression, one of the symptoms of depression is a change. and appetite, right? and so you have someone who might have depression, but instead they go to their physician and because their position is more versed in obesity, they'll receive that diagnosis rather than a diagnosis of depression and a referral for therapy. and so, you know, and they all, for whatever reason they can't lose weight and it's like, well, we're not really dealing with the root issue. are there some people who might be carrying more weight in their bodies? one possibly, but i think it takes way more data and support and research to actually parse out

who's who. thank you so much for your time, dr. kelly roadless. and when we come back, many countries in the global self are seeing an explosion of will b, c because of the rise of trans national food companies looking for growth markets. while in south africa, there's a lack of access to healthy foods that adds to the communities obese. these problems well have more after the break or the,

the be sure that the latest invoice from your teams to the campbell system to personalize, can use me over to the go to the, to the lawn. the which will be similar patella. it does. you learn image stuff or lucas, a lot of new which in the, for the,

[000:00:00;00] the in the past 2 decades, asia and the pacific have also experienced rapid growth and modernization. but in parallel, they have also seen a rapid increase in overweight and obese people. it is estimated the $2.00 and

$5.00 adults are overweight with malaysia being the most obese country in asia, followed by south korea, pakistan and china. india reported over 14000000 cases of obesity in children, which is the 2nd highest number of obese children in the world. this is due to the increasing number of hours in front of screens and the rise of inactive hours. in addition, increasingly hectic, routines and growing stress are causing people to consume fast foods which further leads towards obesity. meanwhile, 45 percent of adults living in the u. r. of normal b m. i was 53 percent, are considered overweight, 17 percent being obese. the proportion of over weight adults very across the e. u with the highest chairs being the malta and croatia were 65 percent of adults were considered overweight. meanwhile, the lowest was recorded in italy,

a 46 percent friends at 47 percent luxembourg at 48 percent. as such, the weight loss industry has ballooned along with global b a my, as people struggled to shed the extra pounds, the demand for the us weight loss market size was valued at approximately a 135 $1000000000.20 and is expected to reach a $159000000000.00 in 2023 of the global weight loss, products and services. market is expected to grow to 299000000000 in 2023. a survey estimates that americans spend north of $60000000000.00 annually to try to lose weight, trying everything from paying for gym memberships and joining weight loss programs like jenny craig to pay for meal plans and apps. and then there's a more drastic solutions such as gastric bypass surgeries, which cost $23000.00. a lap band which prevents over eating and shrinks your stomach, which costs $14500.00. and a sleep gets struck to me, where

a portion of your stomach is actually removed and replaced by a much smaller sleeve, which is $14900.00. these surgeries are usually for patients who are very overweight and find it more challenging to live a healthier lifestyle. they all operate in the same way in which the stomach size is reduced in order to make it more difficult to eat, the large volume of food that they're used to consuming in addition to the risk. so surgery, patients will also need to take off about 3 weeks of work following the procedure, as well as the cost of medication. other natural ways to lose weight include exercise and stay active. and while gym membership spike every january from a healthy, your new year's resolution, about 90 percent of all new members typically stop going within the 1st 3 months. up to 67 percent of gym memberships go completely unused. does that sound familiar

to anyone? there is also a new medication now for a weight loss like the miracle drug owes um pick hell, buy all the celebrities from the car dash hans to eli and musk about a. 2 of people who take o 7 thank for weight loss will lose 10 percent or more of their body weight. and while this drug was originally created to help diabetes, patients control their blood sugar. the side effect of rapid weight loss quickly made it a very hot commodity, so hot that it is now causing problems for the people it was originally intended to help. oh, some big is usually not covered by insurance, so only people who can afford to pay $1600.00 a month can take it. if you don't take goes and pick every week, the wait reportedly comes right back. and for the african perspective, we turned in journalist patients, we're in go in camera room. so patients, is there a weight loss craze, and cameron among men or women?

yes, um. it's actually almost a parts of everyone's lifestyle. now, would these be demand on women? this is so because, um, well 1st of all we have a challenge. we have a challenge, which is that some people move away from beer of the ladies and come to towns to, you know, look for jobs and when they get it drops the don't have of access to, you know, time time, which could maybe for me them x the size, do some stuff that could keep the body shape in. and then you know the best way. but um, the points now is people have shifted from, you know, just the red lights and sizes we used to have. because our government's in every administrative headquarters and try to settle for some supporting facility, we call that that cool,

the timing camera room. so every region in the country has one, at least. yes. and so in the keys off, let's see you only where am is situated around multi b. so if you wake up early in the mornings between 5 am and 7 30 am in the mornings, you would find people, you know, struggling to, you know, dog walk and all, i'm not, you know, to keep feet. and do you think that weight loss bags come into the west africa or other parts of africa from the west? it will be, or i'm a yes. and then no, i will begin from to know then all 1st because um, like i said earlier, mentioned you would have traditional methods which people actually use. yes. and so it had been really very,

it was kind of good. it has been proven that it's healthy in the past. so now the only points. well, now put seems a yes is when you leave the roll settings where you have most of these things that will pay me to do with the local we and in the city you will have access to, to most of the hips and all of that. so at once you have to do is maybe to look at what you have and then even ccs, when you talk about towns in cameroon, it's like shapes club, press kindly copying all of what is happening in the western world and applying it to your daily life. time, so in the town you will be come on for you to see that they are copying the form live. so are these feeds. that's when you now see the dieting call. mean they don't have trouble going for the low cost. let's because they want to join the, the,

the wife's mind, we fix it, and then um, the physical exercise moving to, it's not an advertising style. so exercising. we have a traditional sports birds. you know, all those ones have been on bundles and the coffee, most of what they have out there. and again to the, for the people, samsung thing that is western. so it's not us there. so that's why i would say so yes, i didn't know. so it's kind of, you know, it depends on where you find yourself. now, as african countries like yours and other slowly become more affluent, do you think more people will suffer from being over weight and therefore have more interest in following diets and weight loss fads? well, um the tendency use it's actually very easy for you to put on weights

and for cameroon, and give them the kind of genes we have. because, um, we are a concert with diverse ethnic groups. so the, the most, all g dfcs from region to region, for instance, from the northwest where i come from. you have people who are always, you know, flesh she of fights. you don't have skinny people from dispatch over the country. you would have key people maybe in the center in the south in the east northern pods. yes. but when you look kind of you just like the west region, the south west northwest, i'm lead to raw regions of my country. people will come from despite the have the very easy. so now you, it depends on how you see you are. so if you know you will, the green up i'm putting on much weight is on and also on you

festival that seeing in cumberland is not a it's festival before. now, even if i used to be a cause for concern, it's all of a sudden that people realize that, you know, eating too much, i'm going to big has some health a has that's. so it's actually not, it's not been more than it's least us been. we've been evicted that you know, the ice have opens to, you know, trying not to put on too much we. so at the points we speak those who had already pulled down so much. we can only try to follow some dieting programs and to keep cheap. but for those wants to bring up, it's easier for them to, you know, try to control the intake of food. because actually there's plenty, like i say, to control the intake or food and not grow out of proportion. if you want to be the skinny type. us, and the same time we believe that

a good african shouldn't be tools tv. so for those who have this a frame of mind, what is best for them is to, you know, brought out well, how's that look? so they just eat and you know, go with the ship that appears. so that is it's so, um, it depends on the individual. and you know, it depends on what you want and your body shape goals. thank you so much, patience. we're in a go for your time today. well, the winners here is clearly the entire weight loss industry, and industry that feeds on people's in security and vanity and promote a quick fix solution. unfortunately, achieving healthy way is not a quick fix, but rather a lifelong journey of healthy habits that include eating proper portions and getting in an appropriate amount of exercise. that is not something most people want to hear. and instead they resort to the overly promoted and expensive weight loss plans and fad diets. while it can help,

you should wait quickly. it will not stay off as research indicates a 95 percent failure rate of these plans and fad diets. as many as 65 percent of people will actually return back to their own weight within a year. i'm christy. i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. the

the in 1941 with the nazis health relation, ultra national is the was tasha's, the claim, the independent state of croatia. shortly off the seizing power. they built the scene of us concentration camp a place associated with the worst atrocities committed in yugoslavia during will to use dash is used to come system to isolate and exterminate subs, roma, jews, and other non catholic minorities and political opponents of the fascist regime conditions in the san of us come with her renders the gods tortured to arise and the prisoners they send them the constitution camps. so most of them died. it was incredible genocide.

the the, the u. s. is revisiting it's printing to me for the 1st time since that to the, to the new government in the west african country. meanwhile, the village government of the central affirmation of the bond releases that previously allison president and allows him to leave the country as we analyze everything that the americans and their allies are doing to promote their interest under the guise of so called in the pacific strategies. and we will understand that, of course, one of the main goals is to contain china and isolate russia in this region. russia as far as the legs, here's the official visit to the south asian nation of bind to the south spring
