Ageing and obesity will be the next two most significant conditions that might lead to mortality. Speaking at the United Nations, a lecturer of global health solutions at Harvard University, and the director of the Global Health Systems Collection at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Epidemiology, Mr Rifat Atun, said. Healthy gifts like fresh fruit hampers make the perfect responsible corporate gift if your business want to connect with staff and clients in a meaningful way..
Contagious diseases present a threat but nothing at all like the sustained life-style concerns that results form lifetime persistent obesity. Losing weight and keeping a healthy weight in the Body Mass Index (BMI) weight range is the best way to prevent health problems.
Particularly, Ebola has been maintained and effectively controlled, so the focus is squarely back on limiting fat consumption and regulating body weight gain. And fresh fruit in a lovely generous gift basket ticks all these boxes.
Dealing with weight growth is more than a medical issue, with entrenched business models based on selling high fat high taste high salt products and shifting the corporate model from this requires considerable political pressure.

Aside from infectious diseases, Atun said obesity and obesity-related chronic diseases like hypertension, heart diseases and diabetes will be the coming future's massively important health problems. "The second-most important problem will certainly be physical changes that emerge with ageing," he said.
And combining the two, a child with obesity could literally live 50 plus years presenting regularly at hospital and also clogging the system with the various related complaints that come with obesity. Simple things like choosing a healthy gift option instead of chocolate makes a real difference.
Obesity is also complicated by the fact that it is certainly not simply a health related ailment - it is also has community and cultural implications. Rapid food and the reliance on fatty salty foods and sweet calorie dense foods leads to that a whole industry has grown around supplying these products, and dismantling it is not as simple as just advising people to buy other produicts.
The entire industrial complex is geared toward producing cheap, fatty foods as well as supplying it at speed - meanings that people are able to commute even more to and from employment and can eat meals in their vehicles instead of sitting about a table, eating fruit in a gift hamper.
This leads to really eating in a distracted manner and actually consuming a lot more, and eating the wrong foods as there is less pressure to maintain healthy choices when you are actually alone on the freeway. You can in a sense "get away with it".
The number-one challenge in combating excessive weight is the environment we live in, according so as to an Australian biologist who has received a Queen's Birthday honor in June 2015. Making fresh fruit and healthy gifts a part of everyday life is a start - and that's a corporate responsibility. The best way to address this 'obesogenic environment' is to redefine obesity study and make it cross disciplinary, said Professor Stephen Simpson, who has been granted a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC).
"It's extremely easy to say obesity is all a failure of will power but we've designed a world that makes it really hard," said Simpson," head of Obesity Australia, and of the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre.
For example, our political and economic system encourages an unhealthy food supply system that produces processed food low in fiber and other essential nutrients, and caters our evolutionary drive for sugar and fat, he said.
"We've processed and industrialized our food supply chain to satisfy these ancestral appetites that are no longer relevant to us and are damaging us." It's as though we have created the whole food cycle of supply on the inappropriate principles - profit and taste - instead of health and sustainability.

Human's evolutionary motivation to use less energy is also sustained by our built natural environment and car dependence, and that reduce our need to put out energy keeping warm or by being physically energetic.
"All of these points, through nobody's fault, are just heaped together against us and this leaves us having this real challenge. You need to interfere at all levels and at several locations in the complex system," he said. Start today when you order a fruit hamper online for delivery in Newcastle.
Simpson is spearheading a new cross-disciplinary approach at the Charles Perkin Center and is well-placed to do so since he has an experience in modelling complicated systems and cross disciplinary services.
Now a 'health ecologist, Simpson started out as an entomologist, analyzing the feeding and swarming behavior of locusts. "I used locusts initially since a model system for developing an entirely new way of considering health and nutrition," he said.

Core to this concept is that creatures need a maximum balance of different nutrient forms for example, required protein and starch "If you mention to customers to enjoy much less to burn fat and you don't ever gauge that our bodies do much more than tally nutrients, then you're on a hiding to practically nothing.".
The Charles Perkins Clinic involves clinicians, immunologists, metabolic biochemists, engineers as well as philosophers, economic experts and social scientists.
"We've got individuals collaborating in methods they've certainly never done before," said Simpson. "The model for how you get meaningful cross-disciplinary research study and education and learning which doesn't lose disciplinary credibility is unique.".
By working across all these kinds of disciplines, from excessive car travel to eating substandard food choices, people can really make an imprint on their lives. You can see how bad it has gotten along following Lynne's story below.
"We merely see the tip of the iceberg. There's lots of folk seeing their GPs considering type two diabetes who will never ever come up to a medical facility, at least not for the occasion.
In the modern facility, three beds in a four bed bay often have to be shut to sustain one heavy patient. Their length of stay is on average four working days greater. A shortage of larger, specialised equipment is also a problem.
The bariatric bedrooms in the new medical center will ease some of these difficulties, but will definitely add an extra $1.67 million to setting up costs.
"We're getting more people who fit into the bariatric category as well as need beds like this to manage them safely, and they're getting heavier as well, thus it's a double whammy," Professor Savage said. "They current serious challenges from a medical point of view.".

Diabetes, stroke, heart disease, high pressure sores, mental health problems and an improved chance of hospital-acquired infections are one of the complications. "Surgery is also a challenge because it's very hard to wake up these consumers up. A lot of the anaesthetic medications dissolve into the extra body fat tissue and the anaesthetists have to keep them in recovery for a lot longer to ensure they wake up safely," he said.
Access to weight loss surgery in the public system is limited, with nine out of 10 bariatric operations taking place in private hospitals. The idea is to send a fruit basket for a genuine authentic cheap gift delivery to hospital.
Indeed, this month a meeting of Australian surgeons heard that increasingly, obese people are being turned down for lap-band procedures because the risks outweigh (ahem...) the benefits.
Morbidly fat people are typically being advised to lose weight before succumbing the scalpel. But this might be challenging for men and women with limited mobility.

Neighborhood services for the ordinary heavy patient amounts more than $43,000 a year, inned comparison to over $7,500 for a non-obese individual.
The amounts are striking, but at the bottom of the financial challenge for healthcare facility statistician are individuals fighting sophisticated issues - consumers like Lynne, who confesses she ate "all the wrong foods", but often did so to deal with difficult emotions.
McDonalds and KFC were her favourites. "It got to the point where I didn't really care. I over-indulged, I ate for comfort. If I didn't know what I wanted to do I 'd think, I may as well go and eat.".
"If you're drunk you're not allowed to be served in a pub, but it's ok for fast-food outlets to deliver high calorie food in quantities that you and I couldn't possibly eat to an individual on a daily basis. So there's a moral issue," he said.

"Some patients have feeders. They will have a relative or friend who will go to the supermarket or takeaway place and buy food for them to eat. There's psychology, there's genetics and, unfortunately, there's no easy answer.".
He said disadvantage and a lack of education were often drivers, as were environmental factors such as a lack of access to fruit and vegetables, particularly in rural and regional areas.
"We also need to look at food list labeling available for fast food shops, or tax to help to make processed food more pricey. It could be developing physical environments that promote more physical activity safely such as bike lanes, and making it safe for kids to stroll to school.".
"I'm looking forward to going home and visiting friends and even sitting out on the front veranda at home in the sunshine and the fresh air," she said.
There's such a difference between truly standing for what you believe in and just having a mission statement that says what you believe in. We've all seen those signs stuck up on the side of shop walls where the staff believe ion things and want to do the best possible - and they suck - right? Just like when you order from Newcastle hampers and Gift baskets - you can expect the very best in a meaningful and purposeful gift that is not just the ordinary.
Too many affiliate companies and even florists have turned their attention to gift hampers and making fresh fruit baskets and to be honest - their intentions may be good, but their actual product delivery just plain sucks. Here's why.
When you are a florist or a fruit and vegetable shop and you reckon you'll have a bash at fruit baskets and gourmet hampers - you just sound phony and disconnected from reality straight away. You're not in it for this from the start - so why have a stab at it now? It's not what you do - it's just a thing you're chucking together on the side - isn't it? And you think we're not gonna notice? Yeah - right!
Imagine you're standing in the shop of the florist or fruit and veg store - the floors dirty - there's no one at the counter - a tired old man squints open an eye from his chair in the back corner of the shop - and then you see it - a tattered piece of paper with some dodgy clip art pinned to a cork board - it's the mission statement.
Our mission is to fulfill ...xxx... exceed expectations for quality, value and service. Strive to earn loyalty ...xxx... over delivering and meeting promises..xxx... exceptional personalized service ...xxx... supporting development and providing opportunities ...xxx... yadda yadda yadda
It drones on. It's not really a reflection of the business or your experience and it really has as much meaning as a cat hanging on poster or a palm tree on Maui hung from the wall. What's the point?
When you choose to send your #fruitbasket, #gourmethamper or #corporategifts with Hunter Valley Hampers you can rest assured you will be served with respect, individual care and personal attention to detail. As Newcastle's longest serving hamper and gift basket specialists - we know the business and we know what people expect and appreciate when they are ordering a stunning, amazing and memorable gifting experience.
You see, it's not about the gift basket - or the fresh fruit - or the artisan local food and wine - it's about the presentation and the perfect delivery at just the right moment when you need to make the connection. And making that connection with someone special to you is what it's all about really - and that, my friend, is what we know best.

So we might not have the flashest mission statement or the biggest social media blurb with the hashtags and the @ and the whatever else we need these days - but we do a damn fine hamper and having a big shiny hamper plonked on your front office is one of the nicest, most powerful ways to share and connect and there's just a total guarantee that it will turn heads and makes mouth corners curl upwards.
Try it yourself - be brave and step up to a local artisan business and see for yourself the difference. We know the difference between a robot with some cut and paste text and the living breathing small business. Genuine affection and meaningful gifts are what you are after - and you will be able to see, taste and feel it when you choose a local gift basket.
