49% of Albanians are obese or overweight. Statistics from the Ministry of Health show that Albanians do not even like physical activity. Only 10% of them perform them regularly.
Kimete Hoxha is the head of an educational institution in Kosovo. Only high cholesterol forced him to think about a healthy diet, Euronews reports.
"Health difficulties became the point when I saw that I definitely had to make a life turn," said Hoxha.
For 2 months he lost almost 15 kilograms, but at no point did he think of losing weight with surgery.
"Longer roads are always healthier and when you can do a job healthily why not," said Hoxha.
But not everyone thinks like her. Doctor Lindita Hoxha said that only in her clinic last year over 1 thousand operations were performed to narrow the stomach.
Almost all overweight patients have other health problems according to the doctor, but 15% of those who intervened in the stomach are young 17-20 years old.
