Obesity Prevention Awareness Week | 1st Week of September
Ang obesity ay hindi simpleng usapin ng willpower o disiplina. It is a chronic, multifactorial disease influenced by genetics, biology, food access, stress, sleep, medicines, daily activity, and the environment.
This week, letโs focus on small, sustainable steps: choose balanced meals, drink water more often, move in ways you enjoy, protect your sleep, and make healthier choices easier at home, school, and work. Regular screening can also help identify health risks earlyโbecause BMI is only a screening measure, not the whole story.
Every person deserves respectful, supportive, and individualized care. Magtanong, magpa-screen, at gumawa ng planong akma sa iyo. Swipe through this carousel to learn about common questions, myths and facts, warning signs, screening, and prevention tips.
