Obesity Prevention Awareness Week is observed every September and aims to raise awareness of the causes and consequences of obesity, and to promote healthy lifestyle choices.
Obesity is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. It can also lead to problems with mobility, sleep, and self-esteem. By raising awareness of obesity and promoting healthy lifestyle choices, we can help prevent this serious health problem.
If you are concerned about your weight or your child's weight, talk to your doctor. They can help you develop a plan to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
