Germany is facing an obesity epidemic, with over half of German adults and a fifth of children/adolescents classified as overweight or obese. These findings are from Mintel’s latest Managing a healthy lifestyle report, which also shows that the number of obese adults continues to rise. This seems to conflict with Germans’ personal health assessment, as half of German adults claim to eat healthily on a regular basis and around a quarter say they exercise regularly. So really, how healthy are Germans, and what can companies and public organisations do to support them to manage healthy lifestyles?

Join Mintel’s Food & Drink Analyst Heidi Lanschützer in this free webcast to find out more about German’s perceptions on healthy living and what challenges and opportunities these provide for  businesses and public organisations alike.
