SUMMARY:Anti-Obesity Day
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nAnti-Obesity Day (AOD) is observed in various parts of the world on November 26, with several healthcare organizations and leading Media primarily in India and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries marking the day with activities to highlight how obesity is a public health hazard.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy is Anti-Obesity Day important\n\nA primary reason that prevention of obesity is so vital in children is that the likelihood of childhood obesity persisting into adulthood increases as the child ages. This puts the person at high risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nHow to observe Anti-Obesity Day\n\nRaising awareness about healthy dietary patterns and risks of adopting unhealthy dietary systems. \nRaising awareness about obesity risks. \nEncouraging physical activity at least 30 minutes a day. \nHighlighting MOH’s services to lose excess weight. \n\n____________________________________________________\nTip:\nObesity is a disease and must be treated as one. We all have a role to play in supporting and advocating for people living with obesity. We must recognise that everybody matters if we are to build a healthier world for everybody. Be it yoga, walking, swimming, cycling, or a cardio workout, choose the one that suits your body, but keep it moving. Here are some facts:\n\n\n\n\nAt least 2.8 million people die each year as a result of being overweight or obese.\nObesity prevention requires cooperation from all community members. \nObesity is one of the leading causes of many chronic diseases including heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, several types of cancers, and others.\nObesity results from an imbalance between the calories he consumed and the calories he expended.\nOverweight and obesity are linked to more deaths than malnutrition. \nWomen are more likely to have obesity than men.\nEnvironmental and societal impact is one of the most important determinants of an individual’s dietary choice.\nA healthy diet and physical activity such as walking help prevent obesity.\nAccording to WHO, 2.7 billion adults worldwide will suffer from overweight and obesity by 2025.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n____________________________________________________\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\nInformation on Obesity \n\n\n\nReference Sites\n\nUN and other international NGO\nNon-Profits website for the observance\n\n
