With the advancement of technology today, everything can be bought online. With just one tap, you get to order your favorite fast food and snacks delivered to your doorstep. It has also promoted a very unhealthy lifestyle as it altered children’s way of physical activity and adult’s bonding time.
This could be one of the reasons why we are plagued with a variety of complex illnesses. Obesity isn’t about appearance but more about the serious medical condition this illness brings to a person.
People today are gaining weight because of so many factors but in many cases, it is linked to poor food choices, a less active lifestyle, and bigger food portions. So in this week’s episode, we are joined by Nicole Zamignani, the secretary for ABCs for Global Health, and we will be talking about obesity. Here we will discuss why it is still on the rise, why it is still a major public health burden, and how we can prevent and treat it.
We will break down what obesity is, and share some current statistics on obesity. We will also shed light on why people opt for fast food, and what illnesses and complications can arise from obesity. If you’re someone experiencing obesity or know someone that does, listen to this episode and gain relevant information about obesity and how you can change your lifestyle for a healthier version of yourself.
Slowly, one step at a time, reach your goals for you and your body and fight obesity.
