The Greatest Threat to Public HealthBy Alan Hoffman, Executive Vice President, Global Corporate Affairs

Understanding the economic impact of obesity.

Recent reports indicate that almost 30% of the global population is either obese or overweight. And the World Health Organization projects that by 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight, and more than 700 million will be obese. Since 1985 the number of people with diabetes has risen from 30 million to 383 million; an increase of 1,173%. Unfortunately, this is a trend that shows no signs of slowing.


The statistics become even more alarming when one considers the future impact of urbanization. Due in part to higher incomes and less physical activity, the obesity rate is three to four times higher in cities than in rural areas of countries like India and China.
One study in China found that urbanization reduces energy expenditure by 500 to 600 calories per day, the equivalent of eating more than 300 McDonald’s Big Mac meals in a year.
Additionally, the economic toll of obesity on society is significant, totaling $2 trillion or 2.8 percent of global GDP – equivalent to the GDP of Italy or Russia.  In Mexico, obesity is the largest human-generated social cost to society, beating out smoking, violence, alcoholism, and traffic accidents.  In the UK, obesity is the second largest cost after smoking, costing the economy more than $70 billion a year. In the United States, a study by the George Washington University/American Society of Actuaries estimates the overall cost of obesity at $605 billion for 2014 alone, and 20.6% of national health expenditures.
The numbers are staggering and are causing governments and societies to completely rethink national policies on nutrition.
Obesity hits the majority

There are many reasons why populations have become so overweight so fast. Sedentary lifestyles and less exercise; higher wages and busier lives resulting in more disposable income and greater reliance on restaurants; and of course, increased calorie intake and larger portion sizes. Using the U.S. as an example, in 2010, Americans consumed 20 percent more calories than they did in 1970.  Product sizes and calorie totals for a variety of foods have increased 2-3 times on average over the last 19 years.  And, less than 3 in 10 high school students get 60 minutes or more of physical activity every day.
Obesity is a worldwide crisis, and as a society we simply cannot afford to continue down this road.
What can we do about the obesity epidemic?

The obvious answer is that we need to prioritize and increase access to good nutrition and physical exercise, but this is easier said than done.
Yet, Herbalife is doing just that.  The company was founded in 1980 to promote good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, and this is what we continue to do around the globe.  In fact, millions of people use Herbalife products on a daily basis to help them lose weight and lead more active lives.

What is cellular nutrition & what are the body cells?

Healthier Cells for a Healthier YOU.

Cellular Nutrition can be obtained only through a special blend of highly solvable vitamins and nutrients that help the body cells to absorb the nutrients and vitamins from foods and supplements. In order to get the inactive body cells to absorb vitamins and nutrients, they need to be cleaned up of toxins that keep them inactive.

When we think of weight loss, health and nutrition, few of us imagine the body cells. But actually, the body cells are the source of the body’s energy supply and the core of your health; it’s what keeps you not only functioning at optimal health and maintaining a good health and weight, but functioning at all.

The human body is made of about 75 Trillion cells, that's 75,000,000,000,000 cells. The number of body cells depends on the body size. The body cells are forming tissues » tissues are forming organs » organs are forming systems and systems are forming the human body.

The issues that we are all facing today is not only the poor quality of foods, but also the fact that we do not absorb enough nutrients and vitamins from foods and supplements. There is so much information about nutrition, health and weight loss that most people are confused and are trying all kind of crazy programs hoping to find what works.

Environmental toxins are a fact of life. Every time you breathe, you are taking in airborne toxins. Much of the processed food you eat contains artificial ingredients, such as colors and preservatives, that do nothing to nourish your body.

As we age, most of our body cells get covered with toxins and cannot absorb all the nutrients that they need to maintain our health, ideal weight and daily energy. In order to become healthier and stay healthy, we need cellular nutrition that acts at the core of our body, the CELLULAR LEVEL.

The nutrition we recommend is based on the cellular nutrition science, which is acting at the cell level, which is the core of your health, cleaning them up from toxins and helping the body cells to get active so they can absorb the nutrients and vitamins from foods and supplements, and become healthy again.

Studies show that it takes a few months, while on cellular nutrition program, for your cells to start functioning properly again, like they were functioning when you were a full of energy child. Once your cells are healthy & active, your body will really become healthy, and you can easily reach your health goals, whether you need to lose weight, gain weight, get more energy, sleep well or just simply become healthy and feel great every single day.

When the body gets all the nutrients it needs, in the right amount, properly balanced, that is no tell how powerful it can become. Healthy cells will empower your body to be able to do all the work for you, keeping you healthy and at the optimal weight.

Why do children have so much energy?

Kids have great energy, sleep well and feel amazing because their body cells are not covered with toxins. Therefore their body is still absorbing all the necessary nutrients to keep them healthy, at the right weight and energetic all day long.

Several years ago, we could only imagine how great it would be to feel as great, healthy and energetic as we felt when we were kids. Today, that dream can become reality.

As you probably figured out by now, becoming healthy and losing weight it is not only a matter of what we eat and do, but more importantly it is a matter of absorption.

The question we should ask ourselves is: "Is my body absorbing all the nutrients and vitamins I am taking from foods, supplements and vitamins?"

Herbalife Partners with Global Health Strategies Institute to Improve Children's Nutrition in India
Aims to address malnutrition by providing essential micronutrients to more than 10,000 children

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Herbalife (NYSE: HLF), a global nutrition company, today announced a one-year partnership with Global Health Strategies Institute (GHSI), to help improve the nutrition of more than 10,000 children ages 5-12 in India, in line with the government's Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDM) and School Health Programs (SHP).

As part of its corporate social responsibility efforts, Herbalife will work with GHSI and global vitamin supplier DSM, to help provide access to good nutrition to children in India, a country with a history of malnourished, underweight children. The government-run MDMS and SHP programs are designed to improve the nutritional needs of children by providing food supplemented with adequate quantities of iron, folic acid and vitamin A. However, more fortified foods with essential micronutrients are needed.

Anjali Nayyar, senior vice president, Global Health Strategies Institute, said, "Addressing the nutritional needs of children is critical in India. While this project will be implemented in one pilot state, we strongly believe this will be a giant step in ensuring every child in India has the right to good health. We are delighted to partner with Herbalife on this critical issue."

In the first phase of the project, GHSI will conduct a landscape analysis to help all parties understand the nutritional landscape, provide insights into the required nutritional support, the target beneficiaries, expected reach, implementation model and potential partners.

The initial landscape analysis will happen in Delhi, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Based on the recommendations, GHSI will work with Herbalife and DSM to determine the most appropriate state for the pilot. Herbalife and GHSI will oversee implementation of the project under the Mid-Day Meal Scheme or the School Health Programs.

"Herbalife is committed to improving the nutritional habits of people in India. Nutrition is an important building block for proper physical and cognitive development in children. We are proud to be working in partnership with GHSI to address the immediate nutrient needs of thousands of children, while simultaneously exploring long-term, sustainable approaches to address the underlying causes of malnutrition in India," said Ajay Khanna, vice president and country head, Herbalife.

"DSM is committed to contributing to this holistic approach to improve nutrition among children," said B. Rajagopal, country president, DSM India. "The initiative is a positive intervention in their early lives, when it is most beneficial, and will help address the serious problem of malnutrition in India."

Obesity and overweight

---

Key facts

• Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980.
• In 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 600 million were obese.
• 39% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight in 2014, and 13% were obese.
• Most of the world's population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than underweight.
• 42 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2013.
• Obesity is preventable.

What are overweight and obesity?

Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health.

Body mass index (BMI) is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify overweight and obesity in adults. It is defined as a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of his height in meters (kg/m2).

The WHO definition is:

• a BMI greater than or equal to 25 is overweight
• a BMI greater than or equal to 30 is obesity.

BMI provides the most useful population-level measure of overweight and obesity as it is the same for both sexes and for all ages of adults. However, it should be considered a rough guide because it may not correspond to the same degree of fatness in different individuals.

Facts about overweight and obesity

Some recent WHO global estimates follow.

• In 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Of these over 600 million were obese.
• Overall, about 13% of the world’s adult population (11% of men and 15% of women) were obese in 2014.
• In 2014, 39% of adults aged 18 years and over (38% of men and 40% of women) were overweight.
• The worldwide prevalence of obesity more than doubled between 1980 and 2014.

In 2013, 42 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese. Once considered a high-income country problem, overweight and obesity are now on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. In developing countries with emerging economies (classified by the World Bank as lower- and middle-income countries) the rate of increase of childhood overweight and obesity has been more than 30% higher than that of developed countries.

Overweight and obesity are linked to more deaths worldwide than underweight. Most of the world's population live in countries where overweight and obesity kill more people than underweight (this includes all high-income and most middle-income countries).

What causes obesity and overweight?

The fundamental cause of obesity and overweight is an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended. Globally, there has been:

• an increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in fat; and
• an increase in physical inactivity due to the increasingly sedentary nature of many forms of work, changing modes of transportation, and increasing urbanization.

Changes in dietary and physical activity patterns are often the result of environmental and societal changes associated with development and lack of supportive policies in sectors such as health, agriculture, transport, urban planning, environment, food processing, distribution, marketing and education.

What are common health consequences of overweight and obesity?

Raised BMI is a major risk factor for noncommunicable diseases such as:

• cardiovascular diseases (mainly heart disease and stroke), which were the leading cause of death in 2012;
• diabetes;
• musculoskeletal disorders (especially osteoarthritis - a highly disabling degenerative disease of the joints);
• some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon).

The risk for these noncommunicable diseases increases, with an increase in BMI.

Childhood obesity is associated with a higher chance of obesity, premature death and disability in adulthood. But in addition to increased future risks, obese children experience breathing difficulties, increased risk of fractures, hypertension, early markers of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and psychological effects.

Facing a double burden of disease

Many low- and middle-income countries are now facing a "double burden" of disease.

• While they continue to deal with the problems of infectious disease and under-nutrition, they are experiencing a rapid upsurge in noncommunicable disease risk factors such as obesity and overweight, particularly in urban settings.
• It is not uncommon to find under-nutrition and obesity existing side-by-side within the same country, the same community and the same household.

Children in low- and middle-income countries are more vulnerable to inadequate pre-natal, infant and young child nutrition. At the same time, they are exposed to high-fat, high-sugar, high-salt, energy-dense, micronutrient-poor foods, which tend to be lower in cost but also lower in nutrient quality. These dietary patterns in conjunction with lower levels of physical activity, result in sharp increases in childhood obesity while undernutrition issues remain unsolved.

How can overweight and obesity be reduced?

Overweight and obesity, as well as their related noncommunicable diseases, are largely preventable. Supportive environments and communities are fundamental in shaping people’s choices, making the healthier choice of foods and regular physical activity the easiest choice (accessible, available and affordable), and therefore preventing obesity.

At the individual level, people can:

• limit energy intake from total fats and sugars;
• increase consumption of fruit and vegetables, as well as legumes, whole grains and nuts;
• engage in regular physical activity (60 minutes a day for children and 150 minutes per week for adults).

Individual responsibility can only have its full effect where people have access to a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, at the societal level it is important to:

• support individuals in following the recommendations above, through sustained political commitment and the collaboration of many public and private stakeholders;
• make regular physical activity and healthier dietary choices available, affordable and easily accessible to all - especially the poorest individuals.

The food industry can play a significant role in promoting healthy diets by:

• reducing the fat, sugar and salt content of processed foods;
• ensuring that healthy and nutritious choices are available and affordable to all consumers;
• practicing responsible marketing especially those aimed at children and teenagers;
• ensuring the availability of healthy food choices and supporting regular physical activity practice in the workplace.

Your weight is a balancing act, but the equation is simple: If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. And if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight. Since 3,500 calories equals about one pound of fat, if you cut 500 calories from your typical diet each day, you'll lose approximately one pound a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).
