为应对肥胖问题,英国政府周一宣布将开展“增进健康”运动,呼吁民众减少进食,减轻体重。该计划主要措施将包括限制垃圾食品的广告和促销活动等,以降低国内的肥胖率。 英国政府一发言人表示,目前已有证据证明肥胖与新冠肺炎的高风险有着密切联系,“我们将敦促公众利用这一机会来评估自己的生活,并采取简单步骤来减肥,过更健康的生活”。 对此,英媒分析认为,约翰逊此举可能与他感染新冠病毒并进入重症监护室治疗的经历有关。法新社称,他将此次患病经历部分“归咎于自己的体重”。 British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Britain to lose "a little bit of weight" on Monday, using his own struggle with his weight before he contracted the novel coronavirus to encourage people to take more exercise. His government unveiled a "Better Health" campaign on Monday, saying it would tackle the "obesity time bomb" by banning advertising of junk food before 9.00 p.m., ending "buy one get one free" deals and putting calories on menus. Screenshot from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Twitter account, July 27, 2020 "I've always wanted to lose weight for ages and ages and like many people I struggle with my weight, I go up and down. But since I recovered from coronavirus I have been steadily building up my fitness," he said in a video clip on Twitter. "I'm at least a stone down, I'm more than a stone down but when I went into ICU (intensive care) when I was really ill, I was way over weight ... and, you know, I was too fat," he said, adding that he hoped the new campaign was not "excessively bossy or nannying". 推荐阅读:英国政府首次宣布“放松封锁”,约翰逊:未来几年世界仍将与病毒共存!英国首相约翰逊病情好转离开ICU!但疫情未到峰值,“禁足令”将继续延长...
