March 4th is World Obesity Day.
This day is dedicated to addressing the global obesity epidemic. We are calling on everybody to work together for happier, healthier and longer lives for everybody. Obesity is a disease that affects more people than most of us realize, and we need the support of everybody to change this.
Obesity has been a rising challenge for the last two decades. It affects people of all ages, genders and ethnicities, but it is still poorly understood by many. By learning more about the root causes of obesity and raising awareness about the disease, we can take action and halt the rise of the epidemic. Because every body needs everybody.
During the world obesity day Stowelink will be having a live tv interview on al huda tv to talk about obesity. Also through out the month of march Stowelink will be developing content on the NCDs 365 phase 2 on obesity and 4 animated explainer videos are already in the works.
Lets change lives
Let’s save lives
