Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services Dr.
Seif Rashid yesterday told Parliament that, over excessive eating and drinking
of sugary juicy contents, such foods are the main cause of the obesity, a case
which has been affecting many people in the country. Either Dr. Seif
noted that, excessive alcoholic drinks as well as the consumption of tobacco
products coupled by lack of practicing regular body exercises, all these are
the cause of non-infectious diseases affecting mostly body organs, lungs and
dental defections. Poor observance of the doctor’s directives to maintain good
health results into the heart complications, blood pressure, cancer, diabetes
and chronic airborne diseases which today are the most dangerous diseases
affecting mankind. The deputy minister
was responding to Dr. Maua Daftari (special seat CCM) who wanted to know the
side effects resulted out of the obesity, a situation which attacks many people,
and dental problems which occurs to people who are fond of eating sweets,
citing example to Members of Parliament during the parliamentary debating
sessions.

The legislator also wanted to know what possible steps that
government should take as extra means in order to prevent the MPs and other
people from being affected, and if possible refrain from consuming such products.
Dr. Seif noted that if people with obesity could not control their health
status by following the doctors’ advices, would continue suffering as eating
such food contents accelerates the rate of infections in their bodies. “By
eating such foods there is a possibility of the increased disease complications
resulting into the failure of pancreas to regulate the amount of sugar content
in the body, thus resulting into diabetic diseases, failure of kidneys to
perform as required also causes blood pressure. Dr. Seif who is a physician by
profession, has cautioned those with the habit of consuming such food contents
to refrain or reduce as they are dangerous which can harm somebody’s heath and
sometimes might result into death.
