Obesity is on the rise globally, with 1 billion people predicted to be living with the disease by 2030. In an effort to reduce the scale of this epidemic, correct misconception surrounding obesity and transform health outcomes, World Obesity Day is annually observed on 4 March.
Obesity isn’t simply a cosmetic concern, but a medical problem that increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers. The good news is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent the health problems associated with obesity. A healthier diet, increased physical activity, behavioural changes, prescription medications and weight-loss procedures can all make a big difference. At The Local Choice Pharmacies, we can help you with dietary and weight-loss advice. We’re here for you!
