SURVIVAL OF THE FATTEST
Dear All,
I have mentioned in the Pilates classes this week that I will be giving a live presentation of my talk ‘Survival of the Fattest’ this Saturday at 2pm.
All are welcome and there is no charge to join the session. The Zoom link is below.
In 2004, the W.H.O. declared worldwide obesity to have reached pandemic proportions. In the UK nearly two thirds of adults are now either overweight or obese. This presentation examines some of the possible historic and metabolic reasons. I shall look at how dietary guidelines, studies funded by the food industry and aspects of our distant genetic past have all contributed to our expanding waistlines.
This now has more relevance than ever: In 2020, obesity and the associated underlying metabolic ill-health are increasingly being linked to poorer COVID-19 outcomes.
I have added a little more material to the talk to explore those connections with coronavirus.
I expect the presentation to last around 75 minutes and I will stay on line for discussion afterwards.
There is no limit to how many can attend, so please onward share this email if you think others might wish to attend.
Hopefully see some of you on Saturday
Phil
