November 26 – International Day Against Obesity

☝️November 26 – International Day Against Obesity

📌Obesity is not just a matter of appearance. It is a chronic disease that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, metabolic disorders, and joint problems.

What can you do today to reduce your risks?

🔹 1. Control your diet
• Reduce your intake of fast carbohydrates (sweets, pastries, sweet drinks).
• Choose simple meals: half vegetables, a quarter protein, and a quarter complex carbohydrates.
• Don’t eat on the go — it increases overeating.

🔹 2. Monitor your physical activity level
• At least 30 minutes of exercise every day: brisk walking, swimming, cycling, dancing.
• If you are overweight, start at a slow pace and gradually increase the intensity.

🔹 3. Check your health indicators regularly
• Blood pressure.
• Glucose level.
• Lipid profile.
• Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference.

🔹 4. Sleep discipline
Lack of sleep increases appetite and causes weight gain. 7–9 hours of quality sleep is a must.

🔹 5. Consult with specialists
An endocrinologist, nutritionist, and cardiologist can help you develop a safe, personalized weight loss plan.

💙 Taking care of your weight means taking care of your heart.
Take a small step toward change today.
