Even at Death, Obesity is a Problem

Written by Nash Trout on April 23rd, 2007 in Men's Fitness, Lose Weight, Health News.

What can be more pathetic than knowing that even at death, obesity can be a problem? This is what crematoriums in UK have been experiencing, since wider bodies could not fit “standard” furnaces and they have to be shipped out to other crematoriums that could accommodate them. Chilling news about obesity, right?

Standard coffins range from 16 to 20 inches. However, increasingly coffins anywhere up to 40 inches are being ordered to fit larger bodies. Around 430,000 choose to be cremated in Britain each year.

Now this is not to frighten overweight people, but I thought sharing this would somehow put a “negative” motivation to exercise and keep fit. I was motivated then to lose weight because of impending health problem - hypertension - before I started to exercise. I am now enjoying good health since I overcame hypertension by regular exercise. Check more information about losing weight here and get motivated to overcome obesity and overweight problems.

Let’s get moving and be energized!

    You just never think about these things.

    I gather it probably cost a ton more to order these special coffins.

    I remember when my dad passed away awhile back, these babies are not cheap buying in standard size.
