Fight Obesity, Diabetes: More Parks and Safer Roads By 2025,
diabetes will likely surpass 380 million cases worldwide,
exacerbated by obesity rates, which show no signs of slowing
down. World health experts are calling for action: It's the
responsibility of governments to enable populations to create
the conditions where (healthy) lifestyle is an easy choice
rather than something that's very difficult to achieve," Gojka
Roglic of the World Health Organization's diabetes program told
Reuters. If you don't have a park to walk in, if the traffic is
too dangerous, then people won't be encouraged to walk or ride
bicycles. Or if there is crime and someone will kill you for
your bike, then you won't be encouraged to cycle."
