Marketing.co.id – Financial Services News | Obesity, a condition that involves the accumulation of excess fat in the body, can occur due to an imbalance between energy intake and energy use over a long period of time. According to doctor Fridolin Seto, Head of Sequis Underwriting Department, factors such as family history, lifestyle sedentaryand consumption of foods high in sugar and fat, also contribute to the increasing phenomenon of obesity in modern and urban society.
In facing the end of 2023, Dr. Fridolin Seto invites people to make health a priority for their end-of-year resolutions. Especially in the context of obesity prevention, Dr. Seto emphasized the importance of losing weight if it is excessive and maintaining an ideal body weight.
People with obesity have a high risk of developing metabolic syndrome, which includes increased triglycerides, decreased HDL cholesterol, and increased blood pressure. Various diseases such as asthma, infertility, osteoarthritis, respiratory arrest during sleep, as well as heart disease and stroke, often attack individuals who are obese.
“As you get older, your metabolism tends to decrease, so the risk of obesity increases,” said Dr. Seto. He also reminded that obesity in the early stages is often not realized, and it is very important to encourage awareness among Indonesian families, especially children and teenagers, regarding the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight.
In an effort to prevent obesity, Dr. Seto provides some practical advice. “Start by reducing snacking, limiting consumption of foods high in sugar, salt and fat. Increase your intake of vegetables, fruit and whole grains. “If you are obese and have a history of health problems, consult a nutritionist to get appropriate diet and treatment advice.”
Apart from adjusting your diet, Dr. Seto also emphasized the importance of physical activity and reducing screen time (screen time). “Make sport a lifestyle, whether you do it individually or with your family. Adequate rest and quality sleep also play an important role in preventing weight gain,” he added.
Health Insurance as a Preventive Health Step
Realizing that obesity also has an impact on personal finances, Dr. Seto advised the public to equip their families with health insurance. Health insurance can be a preventive step in dealing with medical treatment costs, especially when intensive care is needed.
For those who are still healthy and have an ideal body weight, having health insurance can also be a smart investment. Dr. Seto provided insight that body weight is also a consideration in insurance underwriting, apart from medical history factors. Therefore, having insurance coverage early on can provide significant financial benefits.
With the preventive measures and lifestyle changes suggested by Dr. Fridolin Seto, it is hoped that the general public can face the health challenges of obesity better and create a healthy lifestyle for future generations.
