The key to preventing #obesity is to ACT early:

Good nutrition is not just our choice, it is also determined by the societies in which we live. Consider this: Healthier options may be less accessible, and less affordable. They may not be marketed.
Obesity is complex.
Yet, we can tackle it holistically.
To prevent #obesity, countries need to create a better food environment by
✅restricting the marketing of unhealthy food
✅taxing sugary drinks
✅providing access to affordable/healthy food
✅making space for safe physical activity
✅promoting healthy habits for all
