OBESITY

What is obesity?

It is an unusual and excessive fat accumulation in the body that can be harmful to your health.

Its fundamental origin lies in an energy balance alteration between calorie intake and calorie expenditure.

⚠ In Argentina, 6 out of every 10 adults suffers from excess body weight. Overall, this is due to the increased intake of hypercaloric ultra-processed foods rich in salt, sugar, and bad fats, low in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other essential micronutrients. Furthermore, the decrease in regular exercise stacks up to this.

Obesity is a RISK FACTOR for several chronic, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as:

✅ Cardiovascular disease.

✅ Diabetes mellitus.
