There are no accurate statistics to monitor the relationship between the spread of certain diseases, with the spread of fast food restaurants in residential areas across the country, but most studies confirm that fast food has a strong relationship to the spread of some diseases.
Of course, the UAE has been suffering for a long time from the spread of some diseases, such as diabetes, where about 11.8% are infected, 29% have high blood pressure, and 43.70% have high cholesterol. The figures are very high and pose a real challenge to health authorities in the country, as well as a real challenge to the efforts of the federal government in general.
There is a close link between these diseases, and between what is eaten by humans, there is no doubt that according to all studies, and many doctors, and there is a link more closely proves the existence of direct or indirect relationship between these diseases and others, those fast food.
Meals that are prepared in a short time and effort, and they are fast in restaurants, public places, and shops, as these affect the meals in the body, causing him many health problems, as the quality is less than healthy food, because it includes a high proportion of Calories.
Type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity, and numbers are still rising all over the world at an alarming rate. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not produce enough insulin or does not respond to it, leading to the accumulation of sugar in the blood, which can Can have serious long-term consequences for the internal organs, including the kidneys. Consequently, unhealthy and unhealthy nutrition necessarily means an increase in the number of patients, which means increasing the state's efforts to combat and treat these diseases!
Unfortunately, there is a food mess in the community, where 83% of the UAE population does not eat enough fruit and vegetables, 13% drink sweetened and gaseous beverages per day, 10% are addicted to non-home-cooked foods, Eat high-salt foods!
Unfortunately, according to these data, there is a weak correlation between the state's strategies aimed at reducing the incidence of these diseases and the practices of the local authorities responsible for the issuance of licenses, as we all see an excessive prevalence of fast food restaurants and cafeterias in residential areas, , And in such a way that parents' opportunities to control what their children and children eat very difficult!
No one is against the existence of these restaurants, and no one is trying to prevent them. They are spread throughout the world, but we are aware of this, but not in the residential neighborhoods. There are places of tourism and commercial centers. Its existence between houses and in Al-Furjan, and making it available to every child's hand. Is not this a direct link to increasing diabetes, obesity and other diseases? I never think this hypothesis is wrong!
