6^th International Obesity, Diet and Weight Management Congress

Physical activity

Physical activity boosts people's total energy expenditure, which can help them maintain energy balance or even lose weight if they don't overeat to make up for the calories they burn. Physical activity lowers total body fat and waist fat, slowing the onset of abdominal obesity. Most forms of physical activity can help people lose weight, but the researchers discovered that jogging, mountain climbing, walking, power walking, dancing, and long yoga sessions were the best for those with a hereditary connection to obesity.
