Damyang County, Jeollanam-do announced on the 4th that, in recognition of Obesity Prevention Day, it will launch the 2025 Community Obesity Prevention Joint Campaign in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Health Promotion Institute starting today.

Under the theme "Walk Lightly, Drink, and Reduce," this health lifestyle campaign encourages people to take short breaks in their daily lives to walk lightly, drink healthy water, and reduce sodium and fat intake.

The county will conduct year-round education and campaigns for local students and residents to raise awareness about the importance of obesity prevention and to promote easy-to-practice obesity prevention methods. Activities include operating obesity experience zones, body composition measurements, personalized exercise consultations, and dietary nutrition counseling.

Obesity is a cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Therefore, it is important to establish and practice healthy eating and lifestyle habits to maintain an appropriate weight.

A county official stated, "Since obesity prevention starts with healthy lifestyle habits, it is very important to practice them in daily life," and added, "We will strive to improve the health of county residents through various projects to promote better nutrition, eating habits, and physical activity."
