💪Obesity is a complex health condition, not just a matter of willpower. It is also largely preventable and manageable with the right support.
Prevention starts early:
👶 During pregnancy: healthy weight gain supports long-term child health.
🍼 In infancy: exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months helps reduce future risk.
🏃 In childhood: encourage daily movement, balanced diet and good sleep habits.
For adults, prevention includes:
🧁 Limit fats and sugars
🥗 Eat more vegetables and fruit
🚰 Drink enough water
🚶♀️ Regular physical activity (any is better than none!)
📵 Limit screen time
🛌 Get enough sleep
Creating supportive communities where healthy choices are accessible and affordable is essential.
