OBESITY Body mass index (BMI) is a calculation that takes a person’s weight and height into account to measure body size. In adults, obesity is defined as having a BMI of 30.0 or more. Eating more calories than you burn in daily activity and exercise - on a long-term basis - can lead to obesity. Over time, these extra calories add up and cause weight gain. Obesity can lead to more than simple weight gain. o Having a high ratio of body fat to muscle puts strain on your bones as well as your internal organs. o It also increases inflammation in the body, which is thought to be a risk factor for cancer. Obesity is also a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. On a personal level, you can help prevent weight gain and obesity by making healthier lifestyle choices: o Aim for moderate exercise like walking, swimming, or biking for 20 to 30 minutes every day. o Eat well by choosing nutritious foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. o Eat high-fat, high-calorie foods in moderation. o to take something into account = consider something along with other factors before reaching a decision: cân nhắc, tính đến một yếu tố nào đấy trước khi quyết định o to measure /ˈmeʒər/ (v): to find the size, quantity, etc. of something in standard units: đo lường o calorie /ˈkæləri/ (n) = a unit for measuring how much energy food will produce: calo - 1 đơn vị đo năng lượng o extra /ˈekstrə/ (adj) = more than is usual: dư thừa o to add up = to increase by small amounts until there is a large total: tích tụ dần o ratio of A to B /ˈreɪʃiəʊ/ (n): the relationship between two groups or amounts that expresses how much bigger one is than the other: tỷ lệ A trên B o to put strain on ... = to place an undue or overwhelming burden on ...: đặt áp lực lên ... o inflammation /ˌɪnfləˈmeɪʃn/ (n) = a condition in which a part of the body becomes red, painful and swollen (= larger than normal) because of infection or injury: chứng viêm o prevent something /prɪˈvent/ (v) = to stop something from happening: ngăn cản ... o moderate exercise: bài tập thể dục cường độ trung bình Source: https://www.healthline.com/health/obesity SYNONYMS o to make healthier lifestyle choices » to choose nutritious foods/ to eat high-fat, high- calorie foods in moderation
