Nearly half of Cuba\u2019s population carries more than a few extra pounds. The most recent study reports that 43{bb302c39ef77509544c7d3ea992cb94710211e0fa5985a4a3940706d9b0380de} of the population is overweight or obese as a result of sedentary lifestyles, high intake of fat-rich foods, sugar and salt and low consumption of fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n

Because of the bad eating habits encouraged by parents and grandparents, ten percent of Cuban children today classify as \u201cprematurely obese.\u201d<\/p>\n

Excess weight also increases the risk of cerebral and cardiovascular conditions, which have become the second and third most common causes of death on the island.<\/p>\n

The 2011 \u201cNational Survey on Risk Factors and Activities that Prevent Non-Transmissible Diseases\u201d conducted by the Ministry of Public Health revealed that Cubans ate fruits and vegetables only 3.2 days a week. It seems that the country\u2019s ingrained nutritional habits are not helping.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to die of something!\u201d says Orestes, reclining into a chair of his cafeteria.<\/p>\n

\u201cOk, go ahead and die, but try and die in peace and without all of the complications that come with obesity,\u201d Dr. Alberto Quirantes, an endocrinologist at the Salvador Allende hospital (formerly \u201cLa Covadonga\u201d), replies when told about Orestes\u2019 remark, a justification that is fairly widespread.<\/p>\n

Quirantes is also a consultant professor and author of a health blog. His greatest merit, however, is to have worked for two decades at the helm of Cuba\u2019s one \u201cday hospital\u201d aimed at the treatment of obesity in the country.<\/p>\n

KILLER SWEETS<\/h3>\n

Thanks to the explosion of cafeterias and fast-food stands that followed the re-authorization of self-employment in Cuba, one can come across fried snacks, pizzas and sweets of irresistible colors and smells at just about every street-corner in the country. The availability of these snacks and the sustained tendency of farm and livestock products to go up in price lead to a situation in which the majority of people opt to buy what is more accessible rather than what is healthier.<\/p>\n

Ministry of Public Health documents (such as the above mentioned survey) explain the result of this: \u201cThe high price of fruits, fresh vegetables and other food products of high nutritional value place these beyond the reach of the lower-income sectors of the population. On the other hand, the food industry and domestic commerce favor a segmentation of the supply and tend to sell mass-produced products with higher fat and sugar contents and low nutritional value (\u2026) In addition, these food products tend to produce a feeling of satiety, have an agreeable taste and are inexpensive, such that they are socially accepted and preferred by a considerable section of the population.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI invite all those who claim they cannot change their diet because fruits and vegetables are too expensive to make a list of all they spend in junk food in the course of a week, then to multiply this by the year\u2019s 54 weeks. They\u2019re going to be shocked!\u201d Quirantes states, in contradiction to what the majority maintains. Quirantes is known among his patients in Havana for his thesis, claiming that one should change rather than take away people\u2019s food.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople find it easier to repeat things rather than think about them. How much does a bundle of carrots cost? Ten pesos. How long does it last? A week. How much does a pizza cost? Ten pesos. How long does it last?\u201d Quirantes leaves the question hanging, like someone who is aware they are in possession of a powerful argument.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditional Cuban food \u2013 rice, beans, meat \u2013 is not healthy,\u201d the endocrinologist insists. \u201cThe problem is people\u2019s habits. Changing our diet is like changing our baseball team \u2013 it\u2019s traumatic. But, if you\u2019re shown the advantages of the new team, they may end up convincing you. We haven\u2019t been able to change eating habits through teaching at schools, nor have we persuaded adults to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

A “GYMSPITAL”<\/h3>\n

Dr. Quirantes sees his patients at the day hospital in a \u201cclassroom\u201d set up in the gymnasium of the endocrinology wing at La Cogandonga, a place he shares with his son Alberto Quirantes Jr.<\/p>\n

Deliberately or not, the 30-square-meter locale lacks ventilation, and Quirantes makes everyone (including journalists following his class) sweat buckets while explaining the repercussions that \u201closing one\u2019s figure\u201d has on sexuality and health in general.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I got here, I had trouble walking because of my knees. I was feeling very down, sexually unmotivated,\u201d Jackelin, vice-dean of a faculty for foreign students located in Cojimar, Havana, recalls. She is one of nearly twenty patients admitted to the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my problems, the doctors told me, was that I wasn\u2019t having breakfast,\u201d she tells us. According to studies, nearly one third of the country\u2019s adult population \u201cskips\u201d the day\u2019s first meal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe food at my workplace is awful. I work with African students and we end up teaching them to eat like us. As of September, these kids stop seeing fruits at breakfast for, even though the markets are full of fruits, it\u2019s very hard to get one\u2019s hands on these through State channels,\u201d the vice-dean explains.<\/p>\n

Close by, Leriusky, employed by a tourism company, confesses she wasn\u2019t eating anything in the morning either. \u201cI weighed 175 pounds at one point. I\u2019ve gone down to 148. My problem is that I\u2019m very small. I wouldn\u2019t have breakfast, I wouldn\u2019t eat vegetables\u2026I was in terrible shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two approached the day hospital in January, to start treatment (including general medical exams, lectures, physical exercise, localized therapy and long walks), next to twenty or so other patients.<\/p>\n

In Cuba, obese individuals also have the option of undergoing bariatric surgery, an amputation of the stomach which can be carried out at several hospitals in the country \u2013 a procedure not all specialists recommend.<\/p>\n

This clinic, rather, promotes a combination of healthy eating and physical exercise, as well as developing a spirit of self-care, motivating hundreds of people to run in the morning or afternoon or use private or State gyms, operating in nearly all of the country\u2019s neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Jackelin has opted for this combination, having been infected with the enthusiasm of the vice-dean from Cojimar, who dropped 40 pounds after four months of treatment. Today, she feels more energetic, less tired, having begun to control a pre-diabetic condition that obesity caused her. She still has 60 pounds to go before reaching her ideal weight, but she feels she is much closer to achieving this than we she first started out.<\/p>\n
