According to research, there is a higher likelihood of obesity among users of takeaway apps like Just Eat and Deliveroo.

Researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine discovered that there is an 84 percent increased risk of obesity among users of food apps.

Analysing data from households in London and the north of England, the team discovered that ‘unskilled’ workers are more likely to use takeaway apps. 

According to a preliminary investigation by The Times, families with higher incomes had a higher likelihood of having groceries delivered from Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, and Waitrose.

The researchers said: ‘Takeaway food delivery app use was positively associated with living with obesity.

‘The potential impact of increased and differential usage of online delivery services on diet and dietary inequalities warrants further research.’ 

The BMJ Public Health Journal published the findings.

According to a recent comprehensive investigation, the average overweight British person costs the health department at least £1,000 in medical expenses annually.

However, because of weight-related health issues, individuals who are classified as extremely obese—those with a body mass index above 40—cost the NHS almost £5,000 per person.

According to the study conducted by the business Lane, Clark & Peacock (LCP), the issue appears to be becoming worse with time.

The average annual cost of treating the most severely obese Brits has risen from £1,300 in 2015, to £1,900 by 2019, the final year of the study.

This is thought to be because improvements in treatments have extended people’s lives, prolonging the need for care. 

Extensive research indicates that obesity raises the risk of several fatal illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease, and multiple cancers.

Did they require research to figure this out? It’s not really groundbreaking stuff, is it?

I also discovered that most animals with wings can fly. Who would have guessed? Additionally, you will become dehydrated if you skip a day of drinking water. And in other news, people who drive are more likely to buy petrol.

It didn’t take a study to determine anything, but I suppose the funding had to be used on something.

I’m astonished. I am very grateful for this revolutionary realisation.

Furthermore, did you know that your hand would get wet if you submerged it in the water? Yes, that is astounding, don’t you think?

Whoever came to this conclusion is truly brilliant—on par with Einstein.
