According to the WHO (World Health Organisation), the measure that defines the type of obesity of an individual is the BMI (body mass index). <strong><a href=\"\/en\/overweight-obesity-bmi-calculations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Calculate your BMI<\/a><\/strong> online on our clinic&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_European_day_against_obesity\"><\/span>The European day against obesity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Created in 2010, the European day against obesity brings together several coexisting days (European, national, etc.). Comprising 192 states, the members of the organisation finally adopted a resolution in 2013 that would enable them to fight these diseases more effectively and reduce the number of deaths caused by obesity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to achieve this, the following measures have been proposed :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>reducing the amount of sugar in soft drinks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>improve the labelling of industrial foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>remove fatty acids from food processing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reducing the amount of salt in ready meals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>taxing unhealthy products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The WHO supports these Member States and calls on them to move quickly to implement these measures <sup>(1)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it was not until 2020 that forces came together to establish a World Obesity Day on 4 March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_Obesity_Day\"><\/span>World Obesity Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>World Obesity Day is held on 4 March. Launched in 2020, this day helps to raise awareness of this disease while mobilising energies. The aim is to change people&#8217;s attitudes and to fight against preconceived ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, for a large part of the population, overweight and obesity are simply a question of lack of motivation and laziness: too much food and too sedentary a lifestyle <sup>(2)<\/sup>. However, obesity is a multifactorial disease that includes hereditary and\/or genetic factors, environmental and\/or medical causes, hormonal problems, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obesity is indeed a disease that is gaining ground. So much so that the WHO calls it the first chronic disease in history! The <strong><a href=\"\/en\/15-of-adults-have-obesity\/\">statistics on overweight and obesity<\/a><\/strong> over the last few decades are shocking <sup>(3)<\/sup>. It is therefore essential to help people affected on several levels&nbsp;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>supporting research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>breaking taboos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this, we need to change the way society looks at overweight and obese people. In particular, we must stop discrimination and defend this cause. This is the objective of this day of overweight and obesity <sup>(4)<\/sup> which invites us to act at local, national and international level <sup>(5)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For APRIFEL (Agency for Research and Information on Fruit and Vegetables), the 2019 EGEA conference <sup>(6)<\/sup> underlines the urgency of making the environment healthier: that the healthiest food choices become the most accessible, available and affordable. To achieve this, political and societal choices must follow, particularly in terms of agriculture, health and education <sup>(7)<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/grossophobie-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"grossophobia\" class=\"wp-image-6211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/grossophobie-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/grossophobie-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/grossophobie-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/grossophobie-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/grossophobie-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/grossophobie-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/grossophobie-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/grossophobie-113x75.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 480px, (max-width:1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Overweight and obese people are often victims of grossophobia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Obesity_Day_work\"><\/span>How does Obesity Day work ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In France, a partnership between the Decathlon foundation and the league against obesity is organising a challenge and a live event from 4 to 6 March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Challenge\"><\/span>Challenge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 2021 edition, the &#8220;kilometre against obesity&#8221; challenge recorded 18369.3km and 1358h19.
