OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY signal abnormal or excessive fat accumulation to an extent which threatens a risk to health. Obesity, in particular, has reached epidemic proportions to the extent that the level of obesity is projected to increase to over one billion persons by 2030. The annual death rate resulting from obesity related issues was already projected at 4 million seven years ago. Across the globe, more people are obese than underweight; our expanding waist lines have become a global crisis. The problem is considered so serious that Member States at the 2022 World Health Assembly adopted the WHO Acceleration Plan aimed at stopping the rising rate in global obesity.

In this regard each and every one of us must challenge ourselves to minimize or reverse the condition.

Obesity: A Comprehensive Review dives into what obesity is, what causes it and how to manage it.

From the three essential macronutrients to digestion, this guide clarifies the biological processes behind what we consume in simple language supported by extensive research. Common myths and misconceptions are debunked or tempered. Eye-opening tips are provided such as the importance of reading food labels and the choice of vegetables and other food types for the daily platter. The reader is also enlightened in a way that influences how we look at our favorite packaged foods.

What we consume, how much water we drink and exercise- all of which have wide-ranging effects on our weight and how we can manage it. Whether we're obese or overweight, the information from this book can help reduce our waistlines. Obesity: A Comprehensive Review shows that the better we understand our bodies, the better choices we can make to live long and healthy lives.
