Forty years ago, the prevalence of diabetes in China was less than 1%, but by 2020, this number has soared to 1300 million, with an incidence rate of up to 12%. Behind this phenomenon is a reflection of the tremendous changes in China's social economy and lifestyle. In today's increasingly abundant material conditions, why is the incidence of diabetes increasing year by year?Obesity has always been regarded as a "close friend" of diabetes. The incidence of obesity and diabetes in China is more than 12%, which is undoubtedly an alarming number. However, apart from obesity, what other factors are silently affecting our health?In 2021, the number of diabetic patients in China has reached 1300 million. Behind this number are many causes of diabetes. First of all, changes in dietary structure have made overnutrition the norm, and eutrophication has led to an increase in overweight and obese people. With the improvement of living standards, high-sugar, high-fat, and high-calorie foods appear more on our tables, which undoubtedly lays a hidden danger for the occurrence of diabetes. Secondly, modern people live a fast-paced life, with high work pressure, a lot of entertainment, and a serious lack of exercise. The body is in a sub-healthy state for a long time, the metabolism slows down, the immunity decreases, and diabetes is naturally more likely to take advantage of the weakness. In addition, China is gradually entering an aging society, and the elderly are a group with a high incidence of diabetes. As we age, our functions gradually decline, and the incidence of chronic diseases increases. Finally, the acceleration of urbanization has led to a decrease in the number of people working in agriculture and a great change in people's lifestyles. City life often means more time sitting and lying down, and a lack of exercise becomes the norm for many people. In the long run, the body will naturally find it difficult to bear such a burden. Nowadays, we often see that more and more people are suffering from obesity at a young age. This is exactly what happens as a result of lifestyle changes. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to our lifestyle habits and physical condition, and cultivate a healthy lifestyle from daily life. Only in this way will we be able to emerge victorious in the fight against diabetes. 
Diabetes can be prevented by intervening in obesity, so we need to understand whether the body is overweight and obese, and here are a fewFormula for estimating obesity:
1. Simple formula:Height -105 = standard weight, for example, height 175-105 = 70kg, then the standard weight is 70kg, more than 5% is considered normal, 5-10% is overweight, and more than 10% is obese.
2: Body mass index: BMI formula
BMI formula= Weight (kg) Height (m) or Weight Height Height, overweight BMI 24kg m, obese BMI 28kg m.
Example 1Height 175, weight 70kg, formula 70 175÷1.75=22.86, BMI is 2286, normal.
Example 2Height 182, weight 98kg, formula 98 182÷1.82=29.56, BMI is 2959, obese.
3. Waist circumference:The central obesity has a waist circumference of 90 cm for men and 85 cm for women
Beer belly is also a type of obesity.
The problem of obesity has always been the focus of people's attention, and many people think that drinking cold water will grow meat, but in fact, this is an illusion. Obesity is mainly caused by an unreasonable diet and lack of exercise. Therefore, it is necessary to start from both diet and exercise.
First of all, diet management is the key. We need to adjust our diet to reduce the intake of high-calorie, high-fat and high-sugar foods and increase the intake of vegetables, fruits and proteins. At the same time, staple foods should also be reduced in moderation to avoid excessive intake of carbohydrates. A more succulent and less staple diet regimen is a great option to meet the nutrients your body needs while reducing your calorie intake. Secondly, exercise is also an important means. Aerobic exercise for 40 to 60 minutes 3 to 5 days a week can help burn fat and lose weight. Exercise not only accelerates metabolism, but also improves the body's immunity and reduces the risk of getting sick. In the process, it is very important to set a clear goal. For example, you can set a goal of losing 30 to 50 pounds in 3 months. As long as you have enough faith and perseverance, this goal is achievable. In addition, there is a strong relationship between obesity and type 2 diabetes. **It can effectively control the condition of type 2 diabetes and even get rid of diabetes. Therefore, it is important to raise public awareness of obesity and diabetes. We should pay attention to weight control in our daily life, avoid excessive intake of high-calorie foods, and maintain a moderate amount of exercise to prevent the occurrence of obesity and diabetes.
