Obesity, a Question of Weight?
How much weight does obesity have on individual and collective health? Is there an ideal, universal diet capable of overcoming it? What are the most appropriate nutritional interventions? Is genetic load a factor in predisposition? And the pleasure of eating? This book provides fundamental answers for an informed and effective fight against obesity.
At the beginning of the millennium, the World Health Organisation designated obesity as the global epidemic of the 21st century. Portugal, where more than half of adults and a third of children will be overweight, was one of the first European countries to give it chronic disease status. Through critical analysis and scientific evidence, this book aims to contribute to changes in literacy and the prevention and treatment of obesity. Because this is indeed a matter of some urgency.
