Our goal is to give avid readers a quick taste of these stories from our diverse and inclusive publication on Medium. We value our writers as they support our readers. You may also find useful stories from a curated collection of our special publication SYNERGY giving voice to freelance writers.
We established an interesting publication called “ILLUMINATION on YouTube” aiming to give voice to YouTubers on Medium and allow Medium writers to introduce their YouTube channel. All writers and YouTubers are welcome to join this exciting journey. This pub is owned by Illumination YouTube Coordinator. Details are in this story.
Many thanks to readers for feedback for our monthly newsletter via emails. Pleased to know that readers are enjoying our eclectic and engaging stories. We gained many more subscribers interested in stories of our writers.

Three Tips to Prevent & Treat Obesity Dr Mehmet Yildiz #health
According to World Health Organization, worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975. Almost 2 billion people are overweight. Unfortunately, over 340 million children and adolescents were overweight or obese in 2016. WHO coined the term “globesity” for the obesity epidemic. “At the other end of the malnutrition scale, obesity is one of today’s most blatantly visible — yet most neglected — public health problems. Paradoxically coexisting with undernutrition, an escalating global epidemic of overweight and obesity is taking over many parts of the world. If immediate action is not taken, millions will suffer from an array of serious health disorders.” Obesity is preventable and treatable.
