Initially, this day was celebrated on October 11 every year. However, from 2020, the date was changed to March 4. This year, 4th March was celebrated with the theme ‘Everybody Needs to Act’. The 2022 campaign is the third unified World Obesity Day when world obesity members and allies come together to call for change. Last year, the day was observed with the theme, ‘Everybody Needs Everybody’,’ which was a huge success, reaching hundreds of millions of people around the world. The global event’s mission remains to initiate worldwide efforts for reducing, treating, and preventing obesity. The main objective of this day is to halt the rise in obesity by 2025 by encouraging governments to take urgent action.

You should also gradually increase the time and intensity of exercises to gain strength and endurance over time,” Dr. Khare said.
