WHO has given simple guidelines for good health and obesity, which are also very easy to follow

Numerous diseases, including those that induce obesity, are now considered a global issue. However, you can prevent this condition with sensible dietary choices, regular exercise, and vigilance. In this regard, the World Health Organization (WHO), a division of the United Nations, has provided some extremely fundamental recommendations that we can follow to prevent obesity and a number of ailments.

Obesity can be prevented by adopting four simple habits

The most crucial thing is to routinely exercise and refrain from spending too much time sitting still. These are some more crucial criteria though.

Avoid salt and sugar.

The dreadful sickness of our day, sugar intake, is now exacting its vengeance on us in the form of diabetes. Experts from throughout the world concur that lowering sugar has numerous immediate advantages and lowers obesity. Sugar consumption without restriction leads to diabetes, which in turn contributes directly or indirectly to rising cholesterol, blood pressure, and heart disease.

The minimal use of salt is the second crucial factor. Fast food, chips, pizza, etc. are particularly salty in today’s fast-paced world. The World Health Organization recommends that adults consume no more than five grammes of salt per day. Salt causes us to gain weight and may cause blood pressure problems even before that.

Because of this, it’s crucial to stay away from salt and sugar.

Fatty food

Greasy, oily foods are detrimental to our health. While they are raising cholesterol, they are also raising many other problems, including high pressure. It is crucial to fully avoid oily foods because of this. Our weight continues to increase as a result of the progressive accumulation of fat in our bodies.

Balanced meals

Although there is much discussion surrounding balanced diets, experts agree that a diet that includes all the vitamins, proteins, and other vital elements constitutes a balanced diet. Fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, legumes, and other products fall under this category. This is the reason that a balanced diet also keeps bodily processes in check, preventing obesity.

Liquor

The importance of drinking after eating cannot be overstated. Avoiding sugar-filled beverages, soft drinks, and energy drinks at any costs is a smart practise. According to some study, the primary contributors to obesity are soda and other sweet drinks. But as we’ve already mentioned, these drinks are loaded with sugar.
