World OBESITY DAY was celebrated on March 4.
It is a date that seeks to raise people’s awareness of the damage that the body has to eat unbalancedly, with very high diets in sugars and fats and with FATS FOODS meals.
According to data from the World Health Organization itself (WHO), “obesity has reached EPIDEMIC proportions worldwide”.
It is estimated that since 1975 this disease has tripled, getting 1.9 billion adults in 2016 to suffer as well as 340 million children and adolescents.
But what do we consider to be obesity?
- Obesity is an abnormal accumulation of fat that can lead to other harmful diseases for the organism.
- Moreover, obesity is the first step for other pathologies such as arterial hypertension, type II diabetes, high cholesterol and triglycerides, osteoarticular problems, sleep apnea and cardiovascular problems.
- The only way to prevent obesity is to have a healthy, balanced and real food diet.
In addition to a good diet, people must have an exercise routine that allows them to avoid the accumulation of fat from sedentary lifestyle.
Many people in the world eat relatively healthy, but are still attacked by an accumulation of fat, especially in the lower abdomen.
This is mainly due to long working days sitting on a desk in front of the computer. The lack of exercise can also lead to some overweight.
We take advantage of these words to invite him to reflect on what he eats, where and when he eats, and if he thinks he needs support to enjoy good health, do not hesitate to contact the Tredic El Masnou Medical Center or Tredic Verneda where a nutritionist can help him with small changes to enjoy full health. Do not think of strict diets or supplements, but think of a professional accompaniment adapted to the physical characteristics and working hours of each one with personalized guidelines.
“Adding small efforts, at the end of the day you will achieve great changes, having done only small actions” M. Martínez (Dietist-Nutritionist).
