When excessive alcohol intake and obesity coexist, what should be prioritized in prevention plan?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Controlling energy intake, limiting alcohol, and behavioural counselling
Alcohol supplies energy and may contribute to excess intake, poor food choices, liver disease and high blood pressure. When obesity is also present, an energy-controlled balanced diet, alcohol reduction or cessation as appropriate, physical activity and behavioural counselling should be integrated. Eliminating all protein or stopping exercise is neither nutritionally sound nor evidence-based.
