Slim remaining slim and fat are getting more fatty

According to the scientists At Cancer Research in UK, size of overweight and obese people has significantly increased in the last 10 years and there is no much of size change in thin or slim people.

According to a latest study published in the International Journal of Obesity, overweight people have higher chances of being affected by cancer. In ten years from 1994 to 2004, male obesity has moved from 13.4 percent to 22.7 percent and female obesity increased from 15.8 percent to 22.4 percent.

Men waist limit increased by 3.38cm and women waist limit increased by 4.35cm. Dr Lesley Walker, director of cancer information at Cancer Research UK, said: "This research adds to the evidence that the UK is in the grip of an obesity epidemic. We know that high body weight increases the risk of a number of cancers and it is important we get this message out to as many people as possible.

"A healthy diet with plenty of fiber, fruit and vegetables as well as regular exercise can help people to lose weight and reduce their risk of cancer. Cancer Research UK, together with the charity Weight Concern, has devised Ten Top Tips to help people control their weight."
