World Obesity Day 2016: Empire star Taraji P Henson, Priyanka Chopra and other fittest celebs

World Obesity Day is observed annually on October 11 to promote various practical solutions for reducing the number of obese people. It is organised by a non-profit body called World Obesity Federation in collaboration with the World Health Organisation.

This year, the organisation focuses on child and adolescent obesity, mainly because there is a rapid increase in the number of obese people under this category. Since the population under the age of 20 is highly inspired by the glamorous world of entertainment, here is a list of fittest celebrities in television, including Quantico actress Priyanka Chopra and New Girl star Max Greenfield.

Jamie Lee Curtis

The 57-year-old actress of Halloween fame is among those small screen stars who have come a long way to stay healthy in life. From being an alcoholic to a timeless beauty, the journey could have been stressful for her. But she believes that the end result is always fruitful, which will not just make a person comfortable but also proud about themselves. According to her, balanced diet with no sugar, white flour and a Pilate's regime along with regular workouts will help a person to stay fit.

John Phillip Stamos

The 53-year-old actor of Full House fame is a great example for those who are not very keen about a healthy diet and regular physical activities. According to him, good sleep, meditation and happy life are the secrets of his fit body. He is known for pulling out the female crowd with his good looks and charming personality. Dr Brock Holt in Scream Queens and Jimmy in Grandfathered are some of the most talked about roles of him wherein he often goes shirtless.

Taraji P Henson

The 46-year-old Empire queen is among those people who believe that there are no shortcuts to success.
