1) White hat:
- Sumo wrestles used to be skinny, but have become larger with time. Many of the top contenders in sumo are recruited from abroad. The average age of spectators at a professional sumo match is well over 50.
- The sumo association doesn't allow women to enter sumo ring. It's consider a violation of the purity of the ring.
- No weight divisions in professional sumo but now day, sumo since is getting bigger to advantages them in sumo wrestling match or competition.
- Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that present a risk to health.
- Obesity and overweight have in the last decade become a global problem - according to the World Health Organization (WHO) back in 2005 approximately 1.6 billion adults over the of age 15+ were overweight, at least 400 million adults were obese and at least 20 million children under the age of 5 years were overweight.Overweight and obesity are defined by the WHO as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to an individuals health.
2) Red hat:
- From the sumo wrestling sport, much people will not joining for this as from their point of view, the sumo sports is for the biggest size of people. From my opinion the style is same as sumo wrestler but the size is had to limit and doesn't need to be big.
- Pageant as there will be plus size queen pageant with minimum 80 kg but why not a plus size pageant for men. This event will build their confidence or bring back their confidence. They will become popular and famous through this and they can stay healthy and life healthy.
- It's not easy to keep fit, why not use this way to build their own life by changing the view of others through this event. Everyone is perfect in their own way.
- Most of them which having this problem will lose their confidence, anti social and lost their passion to most of the thing.
- Obesity problem continues to be a public health issue in all over the world, people can experience physical and psychosocial problems as a result of having a large body size, and their attitudes to and beliefs about their bodies, which can include high levels of body dissatisfaction, have also raised concern.
3) Yellow hat:
- People can learn the way sumo wrestles defend themselves.
- Sumo increase weight lifestyle would like to introduce to Malaysia but there will be many problems appear as Malaysia is a close minded country.
- Target to men and women who want to increase weight with very skinny look. Target to men and women who trying to lose weight should look at how sumo wrestles life by Dr. Daniel Kehres.
- Losing weight can lead to a dramatic shift in your health status and self-awareness. Weight loss and a healthier lifestyle can help alleviate or lower many health risks associated with obesity, including. High blood pressure, High cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes, Coronary heart disease, Stroke, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Osteoarthritis, Sleep apnea, Certain cancers, including endometrial, breast and colon cancer.
4) Black hat:
-They skip breakfast then put their body into starvation mode, lunch with a high-calories beverage and drink high-calories beverage. After lunch they will take nap, and try to move as little a possible from their daily activities.
- Obesity is a multifactorial disease. The causes for obesity can be genetic, metabolic, behavioural and environmental. The severity of obesity is not restricted to increase in weight only, if not taken seriously this extra fat can lead to many chronic diseases, which can be lethal.
5) Green hat:
- Their confidence, overall impression, stage personality and response by crowd. Show their characteristic. Why worry to being skinny, when we can be skeletons once our life has finished.
- Help the people who face the obesity problem by doing a print ads.
6) Blue hat:
- We would judge through fashion which will invite famous fashion or image designer for them. Talent show and increase their income base on commercial and prize which may become part of their career. Bring message for others " see from inside to outside, not from outside to inside" This is the competition that appreciation not insult.
- WHO is the directing and coordinating authority for health within the United Nations system. It responsible for providing leadershio on glabal health matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to countries and monitoring assessing health trends. All you have to do is start questioning and seeking help from them.
Print ads that base on the research above, the text that I using is from the Albert Einstein which the message that I want to bring out is we should not lost the hope and the importance of questioning, that why World Health Organization is here ready to answer your question and help.
