At present situation on food consumption has become highly concentrated and important for daily consumption variety and quality with quantity variation.
Obesity is a complex health issue to address. Obesity results from a combination of causes and contributing factors, including individual factors such as behavior and genetics. Behaviors can include dietary patterns, physical activity, inactivity, medication use, and other exposures. Additional contributing factors in our society include the food and physical activity environment, education and skills, and food marketing and promotion.
Obesity is a serious concern because it is associated with poorer mental health outcomes, reduced quality of life, and the leading causes of death in the U.S. and worldwide, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer.
I have attached you a recent reference. We have also a specialized book for children from 8-12y, to combat obesity in indirect way (Arabic) but easy to extract the purpose of the images.
