Obesity and weight-related issues are prevalent concerns affecting individuals worldwide, with particular significance among the younger demographic, such as female students. As lifestyles evolve and dietary habits play a pivotal role in overall well-being, exploring innovative approaches to weight management becomes imperative. Thus, obesity is a huge public health importance with economic emotional and social consequences.
Obesity is an epidemic causing serious health consequences, including diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Obesity in adolescents can cause chronic brain hypoxia and affect learning. Weight loss occurs when energy intake is less than energy expenditure, and achieving an energy deficit remains the main dietary target. The evidence for the specific impact of vegetables is qualified. Recently, there has been much scientific interest and debate on the potential link between dairy consumption and body weight regulation. The idea of turnip consumption and qigong exercise includes a broad variety of subjects. vegetables are high in water and fiber and low in energy density, so their consumption is suggested to prevent obesity. Moreover, Traditional Chinese exercises are an ancient way of exercise and fitness, which have been reported to have unique advantages in the treatment of obesity.
