What are the enemies of human health?
According to the World Health Organization, if these problems are solved seriously, human life can be extended by 10 years. This newspaper comprehensively reported the top ten crises of human health announced by the World Health Organization (WHO) on the 30th, pointing out that these ten crises claimed about 22.4 million lives every year, calling on governments of all countries to face up to these problems, and stressing that as long as countries seriously solve these problems, the health status of all mankind will be improved, even enough to live 10 years old. After a three-year study and analysis of human health, the World Health Organization published a report entitled "Reducing Dangers and Promoting Healthy Living" on the 30th, which pointed out for the first time that among the 56 million people who die every year in the world, as many as 40% die from "Ten Health Risks". Number one enemy: The top ten enemies that underweight threatens human health on a global scale are underweight, unsafe sex, high blood pressure, smoking, alcohol, unclean water or sanitation facilities, high cholesterol, indoor smoke (emitted by cooking oil and burning wood), iron deficiency and obesity. According to the data of the World Health Organization, as long as the threat of frontline crisis is reduced by a quarter, the average life expectancy of human beings can be increased by 10 years, and people in poor countries will benefit more. The threats brought by the top ten crises also vary from country to country. While 654.38+0.7 billion children in poor countries are underweight due to lack of food, more than 654.38+0 billion adults in rich countries and middle-income countries in North America and Europe are obese or overweight, which highlights the serious problem of the disparity between the rich and the poor in the world. Lopez, a senior scientific adviser to WHO, also said that developing countries such as Thailand are facing a wide range of threats. Living habits such as smoking, high cholesterol and insufficient food will all affect people's health. Hypertension is the main enemy of people in East and West Europe, Central Asia and Arabian Peninsula. This report on promoting tax increase and preventing AIDS advocates some "cost-effective" methods to solve problems, such as cleaning water sources, reducing salt and cooking oil when processing food, increasing alcohol tax or preventing AIDS more effectively. The World Health Organization even called on governments to legislate to restrict the use of salt in processed foods. The organization also warned that if early action is not taken, the crisis will deepen, and by 2020, the number of deaths caused by obesity will surge from the current 3 million to 5 million.
