You're listening to Bulldoch's Proof Radio with Dave Asprey.

Today's cool fact of the day is more of a troubling trend, maybe than a fact, but it's

related to today's interview.

And it's that 124 million boys and girls worldwide are in the highest weight range.

And over the last 40 years, the number of kids and teens with obesity is just skyrocketed.

In 1975, we're estimated about 5 or 6 million boys were obese.

In 2016, it went to 50 million girls and 74 million boys, according to a report published

last year.

And the incidence of childhood obesity is slower leveled off in some high-income countries.

It's continuing to grow in other parts of the world, especially in Asia.

For pediatricians, this is caused by globalization of bad diet and inactivity, lots of processed

foods and sugary drinks and urbanization.

These are big things that are happening.

And I'm calling this out because I used to weigh 300 pounds.

I had a throttish nose 14 and I was a beast as a teenager.

And actually, it kind of sucked.

And I'm hoping that by listening to this show, you might learn a thing or two about what

you can do to not be obese yourself, maybe help a kid in your neighborhood or in your family,

or anywhere else avoid some of that stuff because really, no one should have to do that.

And if you like the show, before we get going, take a second to go to bulletproof.com slash

iTunes, which takes you right to the Apple page where you can leave a review that says

that the show is worth your time because I sure hope it is.
