What causes overweight and obesity?
An increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in fat, salt and sugars but low in vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients;
And a decrease in physical activity, particularly in urban areas due to the increasingly sedentary nature of many forms of work, changing modes of transportation and increasing urbanization
WHAT YOU CAN DO?
Eat more fruits and vegetables and fewer foods high in sugars, salts and saturated fats.
Include more legumes, whole grains and nuts in the diet.
Limit the intake of sugar and salt consumption from all sources; don’t eat junk food.
Limit energy intake from total fats and shift fat consumption away from saturated fats to unsaturated fats.
Drink more water instead of sugary drinks.
Achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Engage in regular physical activity Limit TV watching in kids.

Surprisingly, just doing these two things can lower the risk of the problems above occurring and could prolong your lifespan in the process. The bottom line is that the
solution to this comes down to changing certain lifestyle behaviors and getting healthier in your habits.
