	Description:		Most young people are unhappy with how they look at some stage of growing up, but it’s reckoned that a third of adults are so stressed by their body image and appearance that they feel unable to cope. Meanwhile, the number of people living with obesity has trebled worldwide in the past 30 years, and fresh studies regularly underline the significant risk it carries of disease and early death.
