Obesity, physical activity and nutrition

Establishing healthy eating habits and maintaining a nutritious and balanced diet are foundations of health and wellbeing, and the prevention of chronic disease across the lifespan. Good nutrition in childhood is particularly important for a healthy start in life.

Sufficient physical activity is also essential for growth and development as well as maintaining good physical and mental health over the life course.
