A report by the National Health Commission(委员会）showed the health condition(状况) of Chinese people recently.
About 34. 3 percent of the Chinese aged 18 and older are overweight(超重的), and 16. 4 percent of people in the same age group are obese(过度肥胖的). Of children aged between 6 and 17, about 11 percent are overweight and almost 8 percent are obese. More than 10 percent of children under 6 are either obese or overweight.
"The rates(比率）of obesity and being overweight in China are growing fast. It brings many problems to the country, " said ZhaoWenhua, a health expert.
"Having many kinds of food high in sugar and oil and few vegetable sand fruit is the main reason for the rising weight(体重）of Chinese people, "she added.
These days Chinese people are living an unhealthy life, They move less because they don't need to walk much on their way to work or home, and what's more, they spend lots of time using smartphones, according to Zhao.
However, Zhao believes if people try to change their unhealthy habits, it will be possible for them to live a better life and stay away from many illnesses.
To help people live healthily, food factories should make more healthy food, and at the same time, people should learn the importance of health, how to have healthy eating habits and how to exercise properly.
