Obesity in Brazil is a growing health concern. 52.6 percent of men and 44.7 percent of women in Brazil are overweight. 15% of Brazilians are obese. The Brazilian government has issued nutrition guidelines which have caught the attention of public health experts for their simplicity and their critical position towards the food industry. The guidelines are summarized at the end of the document as follows: # Prepare meals using fresh and staple foods. # Use oils, fats, sugar and salt in moderation. # Limit consumption of ready-to-eat food and drink products. # Eat at regular mealtimes and pay attention to your food instead of multitasking. Find a comfortable place to eat. Avoid all-you-can-eat buffets and noisy, stressful environments. # Eat with others whenever possible. # Buy food in shops and markets that offer a variety of fresh foods. Avoid those that sell mainly ready-to-eat products. # Develop, practise, share and enjoy your skills in food preparation and cooking. # Decide as a family to share cooking responsibilities and dedicate enough time for healthy meals. # When you eat out, choose restaurants that serve freshly made dishes. Avoid fast-food chains. # Be critical of food-industry advertising. ==See also== *Epidemiology of obesity 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Obesity in Brazil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
