🍎 Obesity Crisis Rising Among African Women: A Growing Public Health Concern

 

A new study has raised alarm over a sharp increase in obesity among African women, warning that nearly half could be overweight or obese by 2030. This growing trend poses serious public health challenges, including higher risks of diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

Experts link the rise to urbanization, poor diet, and reduced physical activity, as more people turn to fast foods and sedentary lifestyles. The report calls for urgent lifestyle changes, such as promoting healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and government-backed policies to regulate food industries and support community health programs.

If not addressed, this crisis could strain Africa’s already fragile health systems — making preventive action more crucial than ever.
