Diary 206: Why ‘Western’ diseases threatening developing nations

Why do developing nations are now faced with modern chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart diseases and cancer?

As these nations develop economically, the middele class is expanding. The now have bigger spending power.

As societies develop, people’s diets change.

They tend to take more high-fat and high-sugar foods, often in Western-style fast food restaurants (Pasquet 2010).

Urban life also tends to be more sedentery. Many people stay in the air-conditioned offices for too long. They hardly do any exercise.

Note: Many families are suffering financially and mentally because one or more members are not in good health.
