It is easy to convince people in the developed world that they ought

It is easy to convince people in the developed world that they ought to take more care of
their health. People generally do very little physical exercise in the course of their daily routine.
On the other hand, the abundance of high calorie food and today’s fast food habits cause
many people to be overweight. This is neither good for one's health in general nor in keeping
with the fashion of our time, which exalts slim figures.
It comes as no surprise, then, that doctors and dieticians are constantly warning us of the
dangers of our life styles and reminding us that we ought to lose weight, that we ought to cut
down on high fat foods, eat more fruit and vegetables and, of course, do more exercise. On
the other hand, many centres for body care lose no opportunity to promote their business by
encouraging people to lose those extra centimetres and be more in line with fashion.
