After reading the Glasgow Effect article it has been proven that Glasgow in Scotland are a lot unhealthier than other cities in the U.K. After researching further, I have found that Britain is labelled ‘ The Fat man of Europe’ (NHS).

In 2015, 65% of adults and aged 16 and over were overweight, including 29% who were obsese in Scotland (Gov.Scot). Obesity is causing strain on health services such as the NHS. The annual cost to NHS Scotland of oversight and obesity combined may be as much at 600 million( parliament.scot).

Obesity is also causing premature death as it also leads to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and more.

It is clear an apparantemt that our country is not healthy with governments having to introduce implement laws to help Scotland’s wellbeing. As a future educator I want to educate children to help them to live the healthiest and happiest life.
