Sugar, like alcohol, is addictive, and consuming sugar can induce many chronic diseases and accelerate the aging of the body.

The National Health Administration proposed three key points: "Obesity prevention and control is everyone's responsibility" and recommended that the public start from World Obesity Day to turn obesity prevention and control into action and add value to their health.

1. Say no to sugar: Sugar, like alcohol, is addictive, and consuming sugar can induce many chronic diseases and accelerate the aging of the body. Reducing sugar starts with the details of life. Carry an environmentally friendly water bottle and avoid drinking sugary drinks. Refuse to accept sugary drinks with meals. Replace cakes and snacks with fruits and appropriate amounts of unflavored nuts and seeds.

2. "Pick" before eating: choose white meat, choose lean meat; choose vegetables, choose fruits; choose whole grains, choose nuts; choose natural, choose local. People are advised to be selective in their diet, choose natural ingredients and avoid processed products, choose cooking methods with less oil, and eat less than 80% full. In addition, they should consume an appropriate amount of unrefined whole grains, nuts, seeds and low-fat dairy products every day, and eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

3. Move whenever you have the chance: The World Health Organization recommends that children and adolescents should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity every day, and adults should accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week.

In addition, the National Health Administration has established a complete system for monitoring the health and health behaviors of the Chinese people. Director-General Chiu Shu-ti of the National Health Administration said that "changing the environment" cannot rely solely on the government. The industry and business sectors should also take action. The business sector has the responsibility to provide employees with a healthy and friendly working environment. Citizens should do their best to protect the health of themselves, their families and their friends.
