World Obesity Day: 8 Billion Reasons to Act on Obesity

Today we nearly reached an 8-billion mark in world population. By 2035, half of this is projected to be living in overweight or obesity.

With the rising incidence of obesity-related non-communicable diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, stroke, liver disease and kidney failure, we have to act on the true drivers of obesity:
• Inequality in socio-economy
• unhealthy environment
• poor food systems that proliferate ultra-processed food
• healthcare barriers
• social stigma preventing people to seek medical help

Let us prioritize prevention of overweight and obesity. Seek treatment today for a healthy and more dignified life!

February marks National Heart Month.

This observance presents an excellent opportunity to enhance awareness regarding the prevention of cardiovascular health issues.

Adopting a balanced diet, refraining from smoking, effectively managing stress, and maintaining physical activity are highly effective strategies for preventing hypertension and coronary heart disease.

A comprehensive review encompassing 57 longitudinal studies demonstrated that walking 7,000 steps daily is associated with a 25% reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and a 47% reduction in CVD-related mortality.

Remain active and prioritize your cardiovascular well-being.

• Don't swim or wade in water that might be contaminated with animal urine.
• Avoid contact with animals that may be infected.

• Wear waterproof protective clothing, shoes or boots if exposure to flood water is unavoidable.

Be safe!
