Today is World Obesity Day, a time to raise awareness about the impact of obesity on health and to encourage positive lifestyle changes. Obesity is a complex condition that affects millions of people worldwide, increasing the risk of serious health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.

Obesity is a complex interaction of different factors, for different people, in different countries and cultures. One universal strategy for every person is never going to be the solution. That’s why this year’s World Obesity Day is opening up a wider conversation. 

We want to leverage the power of World Obesity Day to start cross-cutting conversations. Looking at health, youth and the world around us to see how we can address obesity together. This World Obesity Day, let’s share knowledge, advocate together, and see obesity from a different perspective.
