Increase in number of young sufferers from obesity and diabetes type 2 points to greater incidence of heart disease in the future, experts warn.

Heart disease fears for young diabetics

Extract:

"Britain's rapidly growing number of young diabetics are sitting on a heart disease "time bomb", experts will warn this week.

A new study, which compared groups of Type 2 diabetes patients above and below the age of 40, will reveal that the younger group, including an increasing number of obese children, are at higher risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Researchers from -Sheffield's Northern General Hospital also found that, despite their greater risk, younger sufferers were less likely to be treated for heart disease, particularly if they were women.

Those diagnosed with diabetes earlier in life were found to have had the disease for shorter periods, but a large proportion had high blood pressure, and those in the younger group were more likely to be morbidly obese than the older diabetics studied."

The continued rise in the incidence of these diseases comes about because of the flawed information and advice about the causes and treatment of obesity.

Obesity is NOT caused by overeating and it is not reduced by 'slimming' or by increasing exercise. It is caused by fluid retention, which in children is usually caused by a diet too high in salt/sodium.

Obesity - and along with that, heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, most cancers, and a host of allied health problems - can be easily and safely reduced by seriously cutting back on salt/sodium intake and eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. - It is important not to restrict calories. - 'Slimming' is unnecessary, ineffective and often harmful.

Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it!
