28^th Global Obesity Meeting

Food Obesity

Food obesity” isn't a standard term in nutrition or medical literature. If you're referring to the role of food in causing or contributing to obesity, here's a concise description:

"Food plays a critical role in the development of obesity. Diets high in energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods, such as fast foods, sugary beverages, and processed snacks, can contribute to excessive calorie intake and weight gain. These foods are often high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and salt, which can promote overeating and lead to obesity over time. In contrast, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins provide essential nutrients while promoting satiety and supporting weight management. Understanding the impact of dietary choices on obesity risk underscores the importance of adopting a balanced diet that emphasizes nutritious, whole foods to prevent and manage obesity effectively.
