Synopsis
In 2017, it was estimated that over 4 million people died as a direct result of being overweight and or obese. From 1975 to 2016, children, age 5-19 showed an increase from 4% to 18% globally in obesity and overweight rates! With statistics like this, it’s no wonder author Akash Raju felt a calling to publish his experience with and knowledge of this crisis. In his breakout book, Obesity: An Epidemic, Raju dives deep into complexities of obesity on many different levels. He asks, and answers, questions such as:
- How a person’s life and habits could be contributing to obesity
- What role does the community, large and small, have on improving the obesity rates
- How the history of obesity affects the present and future aspects of the epidemic
With this in-depth overview of the many myths and truths about this disease, Raju creates a path to holistic and science-based approaches for combating this relentless killer. Obesity: An Epidemic is exactly the book anyone struggling with obesity or looking to gain a science-based perspective of the disease will want to read over and over again.
