Obesity in the UK is on the rise, and there’s more and more people adding to the number. A majority of older men and women are in need of a change in diet thanks to not exercising and poor food choices. But experts claim that the issue goes back even further too teaching children to eat better, and hope the knowledge stays with them.

Key Takeaways:

• As many as eight out of 10 middle-aged Britons have lifestyles that are putting their health them at risk, experts have warned.
• Busy lives and desk jobs make it increasingly difficult to stay healthy, but research from Public Health England shows that 83% of those aged between 40 and 60 are overweight, drink too much or avoid exercise.
• Officials with the health body said that nine in 10 men, and eight in 10 women (79%) are not doing enough exercise, exceeding the recommended limits for alcohol or are either overweight or obese.
