@Hello_Ashleyyyy All Esports, golf, many Olympic events, almost all winter Olympic events, pétanque, the list is long

@RubacubesRubie @rtenews If you can use exercise and diet as medicine yes 100% that should be the first step and only if it works. But it’s the same as anything else, not everyone is lucky enough for it to go that way and these drugs can be life changing

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@Tommymullins3 @rtenews I think that’s from how we’ve changed through our habits. Same as how ADHD wasn’t a big thing before but it was always there, just harder to see because it was much easier to cope with effectively. Now you’re expected to focus and work sitting down and healthy food is expensive

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@CroiaIsAinmDom @RubacubesRubie @rtenews That’s not true. Research consistently finds strong treatment effects on obesity with GLP-1 and combination GLP/GLP-1 drugs. Lifestyle changes are very helpful in treating and preventing relapse but these drugs help make it possible for people to make lifestyle changes

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@BHCNOV81 @bencoles_ This has happened before. Māori team members decide in advance to respond to the Haka with their own which would be the traditional way to respond. Munster in 2008 had 4 players perform the Haka so it’s not a spontaneous decision it’s deliberate and definitely discussed before

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@BHCNOV81 @bencoles_ It would be rare to see a non Māori player perform the haka unless there was a Māori player on his team to lead it. It’s not against the law but there are unspoken rules about who can do it which I wouldn’t have the understanding to tell you but a Māori person would

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@Col_Crockett @BHCNOV81 @bencoles_ Bit strange that’s where you went. You clearly have no idea what the Haka is

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@TheNightShunter @westcoastiscool @rtenews To be honest I haven’t been keeping up with how many people are getting these drugs. From what I’ve learned it’s highly effective but I think things like occupational therapy and CBT might need to become a prominent part of helping these people develop things that help them cope

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@Hustle_Invest @rtenews True, but you rarely have just hormonal or genetic problems that would lead to obesity. I know that myself with ADHD I’m more likely to have binge eating disorder and things that affect motivation which can make moving more and eating less extremely difficult. Depression is worse

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@ChoppyTech @bencoles_ No problem. Hope you find the haka as cool as I do once you look into it

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@Suckerburgh @Mojo_cornick @BHCNOV81 @bencoles_ There isn’t a literal rule that only Kiwis can perform a haka, but there is an unspoken cultural boundary. You don’t just perform a haka because you’re playing the All Blacks, you need a genuine cultural connection and understanding of what you’re doing

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@BHCNOV81 @bencoles_ The haka isn’t something the whole team can just join in with. It’s Māori cultural tradition, and the Māori player can participate because it’s his heritage. The same happened with Munster back in the day with Rua Tipoki leading for 4 players.

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@ChoppyTech @bencoles_ Definitely unusual to most people but its origins in rugby and certainly its origin in Tāne-rore dancing for his mother and how the Haka has been used in many ways. I used to work with rugby history so I can definitely say the haka is magnificent and something everyone should see

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@RubacubesRubie @rtenews That’s not really a fair thing to say. Obesity is a disease and not everyone with it has the ability to eat less and move more in a meaningful way and needs professional help. Sure there are people who might be lazy but some people have binge eating disorders, and other issues.

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@naturalsceptic @rtenews This assumes the person is in perfect mental condition, no underlying conditions. Telling people with obesity to eat less and move more works for the population in general but not for every individual and in those cases maybe these avenues help more than online scrutiny

[killian sexton @SextonKillian]

@TheNightShunter @westcoastiscool @rtenews It’s true that the ideal manner of treating obesity (yes I say treating because it’s classed as a disease like asthma for example) is exercise and diet improvement, but there’s much more to it than that. Binge eating disorders, hormones, sleep can affect it so medicine can help.
