The best starting point to tackle childhood obesity in the modern world isn't a restrictive diet or a gym routine.
Today is exactly 11 days to Obesity Awareness Charity Walk & Half Marathon 2026 happening in Nairobi.

People living with obesity often face judgment, stigma, and discrimination. How does this emotional burden affect their mental health, eating habits, and overall well-being? #BeatNCDsStepByStep #ObesityAwareness2026 @Rachealkyy @Atuhairecarol10

Many people think obesity is simply about eating too much or exercising too little. From a nutritionist's perspective, how accurate is that belief, and what are some of the hidden factors that contribute to obesity? #BeatNCDsStepByStep @Rachealkyy

Obesity is a major medical risk factor for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (such as heart disease and stroke), high blood pressure, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and multiple forms of cancer.

As the world commemorates #WorldFoodDay2026, the theme “Innovate today, nourish tomorrow” deeply resonates with @KELINKenya. With partners, we are pushing for innovations like front-of-pack warning labels (FOPWL), so people can access food information that is useful for nourishment.
To pursue this theme, we developed a simplified version of the Kenya Nutrient Profile Model (KNPM). It gives simple, verifiable information on the nutrients we consume when we eat ultra-processed packaged foods.
This tool is for everyone as we work to reduce NCDs in Kenya and protect our children from predatory marketing.
