18) One of the first benefits of a healthy diet is increased energy and mental clarity. This is because the body is finally getting all the macro and micronutrients it needs to function properly and rejuvenate itself on a cellular level

17) The start of a healthy diet and better health starts with nutrition basics. It’s important to note that good nutrition doesn’t start with counting calories. It starts with knowing which foods are healthy, learning how to swap bad foods for good foods and knowing your body’s specific nutrient requirements for your activity lev

16) Good nutrition is essential for a healthy body that’s able to fight off infections and function properly, but many individuals forego healthy eating for a variety of reasons, including lack of knowledge, hectic schedules and exhaustion. After all, it’s faster to microwave a meal or stop at a fast food joint than it is to prepare a healthy meal. Unfortunately, bad nutrition can lead to a whole host of problems, including high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, poor sleep and lack of energy.

15) In May 2018, the Health Assembly approved the 13th General Programme of Work (GPW13), which will guide the work of WHO in 2019–2023 (19). Reduction of salt/sodium intake and elimination of industrially-produced trans-fats from the food supply are identified in GPW13 as part of WHO’s priority actions to achieve the aims of ensuring healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. To support Member States in taking necessary actions to eliminate industrially-produced trans-fats, WHO has developed a roadmap for countries (the REPLACE action package) to help accelerate actions

14) With many countries now seeing a rapid rise in obesity among infants and children, in May 2014 WHO set up the Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity. In 2016, the Commission proposed a set of recommendations to successfully tackle childhood and adolescent obesity in different contexts around the world

13) In 2013, the Health Assembly agreed to nine global voluntary targets for the prevention and control of NCDs. These targets include a halt to the rise in diabetes and obesity, and a 30% relative reduction in the intake of salt by 2025. The “Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases 2013–2020” (10) provides guidance and policy options for Member States, WHO and other United Nations agencies to achieve the targets

12) In 2012, the Health Assembly adopted a “Comprehensive Implementation Plan on Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition” and six global nutrition targets to be achieved by 2025, including the reduction of stunting, wasting and overweight in children, the improvement of breastfeeding, and the reduction of anaemia and low birthweight

17) A closer analysis, however, reveals two distinct groups: banks that made bold reductions and banks that moved cautiously. A bold transformation of the branch network delivered four times higher productivity gains than incremental adjustments and produced a 23 percent leaner network.
18) A common concern

8) Leading banks achieved these results by optimizing across the customer journey and consistently innovating the digital customer experience. For example, they regularly tested and launched new capabilities, used customer-relationship-management (CRM) tools to create

6) Biometric authentication, quick balance checks, and easy transfers are increasingly table stakes for banking apps. However, leaders take a customer-centric mindset to developing new features that will capture the attention of customers and be adopted rapidly. For example, in the United States, banks with remote check-deposit capability had about 40 percent of checks deposited via their apps in 2019

5) More importantly, high mobile usage enabled top performers to grow total customer touch five times faster than slow adopters and to generate over a third of all their digital sales via the mobile app.3 These differences in performance are driven by several factors: advanced app features, superior user experience, and innovative capabilities to proactively engage users.

4) To capitalize on this demand, banks can learn from precrisis leaders that achieved significant growth in digital activity. They accomplished this by riding the meteoric rise in banking apps over the past five years that made mobile the go-to channel for many customers. Leading banks had 54 percent of customers active on mobile, compared with 24 percent for slower adopters

3) During COVID-19, banks have supported customers in banking safely from home via digital and telephony. In doing so, they have unlocked the next wave of digital service. As of May 2020, consumers have been highly satisfied with digital channels, and as many as about 60 to 85 percent of Western European consumers, even those aged 65-plus, prefer to use digital for everyday transactions

2) A staggering amount of money has been lost over the years by clever people who confused the accurate distributions (i.e., as if derived from physical sciences) with the messy, unreliable approximations that try to depict financial returns. In finance, probability distributions are little more than crude pictorial representations.

7) To thrive in the next normal, banks not only need to meet customer preference for higher digital engagement but also must learn from precrisis leaders on how to meet more and higher-value needs via digital. While in many markets the crisis caused a significant drop in monthly unit sales across all channels, it also accelerated the sales mix redistribution as channels recovered at varying speeds

1) The cumulative distribution must eventually reach 1.0 or 100% on the y-axis. If we raise the bar high enough, then at some point, virtually all outcomes will fall under that bar (we could say the distribution is typically asymptotic
