Fasting at work during #Ramadan can be challenging but can also bring strength and resilience.

Happy #WorldObesityDay 2025.
#Obesity is not a choice, #obesity is a complex, relapsing, progressive condition & NOT personal responsibility!
Lets work together to change the food environment, health inequity & focus on the wider system & NOT the individual

Experts claim there is a risk too many people are being diagnosed as obese when "a more accurate" and "nuanced" definition is needed.
Professor Francesco Rubino told #BBCBreakfast doctors should consider the overall health of patients with excess fat, rather than just measuring their body mass index (BMI)
