Body fat prediction and a well-balanced diet recommendation system based on the user's food preferences and health conditions

Abstract

Obesity is a prevalent condition that poses a significant public health challenge worldwide. It is characterized by the accumulation of excess body fat, which can lead to an array of health issues. These include an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, sleep apnea, and joint problems, among others. As such, maintaining a healthy body composition is essential in mitigating these risks. This can be achieved through a combination of a balanced diet and regular exercise. A healthy diet should provide adequate nutrition while limiting the intake of unhealthy fats, sugars, and refined carbohydrates. On the other hand, regular physical activity helps to burn calories, improve metabolism, and strengthen muscles and bones. Therefore, adopting healthy lifestyle habits that promote a healthy body composition is crucial in preventing and managing obesity and related health complications.
