Today marks #WorldObesityDay, a crucial reminder of the pressing need to address the global epidemic of #obesity and its associated health risks. Thanks to the Global Obesity Coalition, comprised of the World Obesity Federation, UNICEF, and World Health Organization, for bringing us together this morning for the global kick-off highlighting the increasing relevance of obesity amongst youth and impoverished communities! According to the World Obesity Atlas, obesity is a leading preventable cause for numerous varieties of chronic dietary diseases, including type II diabetes, stroke, coronary heart disease, and cancer. Disconcertingly, the report projects the prevalence of obesity to continue to exponentially rise over the next 15 years to over a billion new cases between 2020 and 2035. By 2035, global obesity is expected to cost an estimated USD $4 trillion. As we acknowledge this day, it's imperative to recognize the power of proactive measures regarding food security and adequate nutrition in combating this issue. As professionals in various fields, we have a responsibility to address obesity by promoting education and advocating for policies that support healthy environments. Let's use this day as an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations, share resources, and work together to create a healthier future for all. Together, we can make a difference! #WorldObesityDay #FoodIsMedicine #HealthEquity #NutritionMatters 🌍🌱

As we recognize School Health Week, it’s important to reflect on the stark realities facing children globally—and especially here in South Africa—regarding their health and nutrition. Two major issues stand out: childhood obesity and malnutrition. While these problems may seem like opposite ends of a spectrum, they share a root cause—poor diet quality. This week serves as a critical reminder that the health and future of millions of children are in jeopardy and that schools can either be part of the solution or an aggravating factor in this crisis.

😋 Do you feel like everyone suddenly started talking about "food noise"? 🤷♀️ I'm not sure exactly where the term came from, but one definition is "#rumination and obsessive #preoccupation about #food," and it really hits home for soooooo many people. Thanks Healthline Media for including my thoughts in your #foodnoise article. TAKEAWAYS: 💥 The majority of individuals with #obesity, especially those who have tried different strategies to treat their obesity, can tell you that food noise is a real part of their #disease. 💥 I would view food noise as a #symptom of someone’s disease or a result of someone’s body fighting #weightloss, so managing food noise is a part of treating obesity effectively. 💥 Obesity is a #heterogeneous disease so different people experience different symptoms at different times.
