1. Be active 2. Follow a healthy eating plan 3. Reduce screen time 4. Keep track of your weight, body mass index, and waist circumference

A. The speaker, Peter just want to talk that what we always think correct is not always true. B.propose the new perspective that obesity is not the origin of many of disease. EX: Insulin resistance is resulted in obesity? OR Insulin resistance is resulted from obesity?

Question everything and not always tradition. Obesity is one of the factors of many diseases, but in fact obesity would have more hidden factor than we thought. We can not always blame obesity. Science is progressive, as if anything like the traditional to blame obesity, then will block the progress of science.
