Abstract:

Now in many developed countries, obesity is the one of most important health problems because of prolonged sitting in daily life. World health Organization (WHO) reported in 2015 that obesity has more than doubled since 1980. The WHO definition is that a BMI greater than or equal to 25 is overweight and a BMI greater than or equal to 30 is obesity. They reported that 39% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight in 2014, and 13% were obese [1]. In USA, more than one-third (34.9%) is obese [2,3]. In Japan the % of male aged 20 years and over, which exceeded 25 of BMI, was 28.4% in 2004 and 28.7% in 2014. The percentage of overweight of female was lower than male [4]. The Obesity causes type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases and others. These diseases induce other diseases, which are sometimes fatal [5] (Figure 1). Two types of nutritional interventions are now considered. One is to overcome obesity by nutrition; another is to prevent disease progression caused by obesity.
