IEC Material on Obesity Prevention and Healthy Living
A healthy weight supports better physical and mental well-being. Obesity is influenced by many factors, including diet, physical activity, sleep, stress, health conditions, medications, genetics, and the surrounding environment.

Choose a balanced diet with more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, pulses, and protein-rich foods. Limit sugary drinks, highly processed foods, fast food, and foods high in salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats. Regular physical activity, adequate sleep, stress management, and support from qualified healthcare professionals can help prevent and manage obesity.

Small and sustainable changes can reduce the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, fatty liver disease, joint problems, and other obesity-related complications.
