The prevalence of overweight and obesity has risen by 4% from 1975 to 2016 among children and increased about 3 times from 1975 to 2016 in 1.9 billion adults(18y+) including 39% of men and 40% of women were overweight and near about 650 million adults (11% of men and 15% of women) were obese. . The fundamental factor for obesity is the prolong imbalance of energy consumed (energy dense food) and spent every day in our life. Obesity contributes to the prevalence of diseases like “ type 2 diabetes mellitus, fatty liver disease, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, dementia, osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea and several cancers.
