BAGUIO CITY— A top official of the Philippine Association for the Study of Overweight and Obesity on Thursday took a look at whether liposuction, a popular fat removal procedure, is effective in addressing obesity. In a media conference, PASOO president Dr. Nemecio Nicodemus Jr. explained there are two kinds of fat—subcutaneous fat which is the fat found under the skin; and visceral fat which is hidden in the mid portion of the body or in the belly.
Now, what is a better way to address overweight or obesity? World Health Organization Philippines technical specialist April Joy David underscored the importance of physical activity in one’s health and wellbeing, which can be done through any bodily movement like doing sports, walking, active recreation, among others. This is in comparison with being physically inactive or having sedentary behavior—a waking behavior while in a sitting, reclining, or lying posture with low energy expenditure.
