Health and exercise
The death of the world’s heaviest woman was sad, even after her surgery (“Eman Abdul Atti, once known as ‘world’s heaviest woman’, dies”, Gulf News, September 26). Eman’s death taught a good lesson to all of us. We don’t know her habits or how she became overweight. One should maintain his or her body weight with regular exercise and food habits. Heredity also plays an important role, however that can be wiped out by exercise. Walking has been accepted as a good form of exercise and globally, this has been recommended by many fitness clubs. To my knowledge, children in the UAE are a little overweight and they should walk daily and choose good healthy diets rather than eating junk food. Today junk food culture and lack of walking leads to obesity and becomes worse as we have seen through Eman’s case. It is important to keep fit.
