 INTRODUCTION

Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial condition that can result in excessive body fat and,

occasionally, poor health. Of course, excess body fat itself is not an illness. However, an

excessive amount of additional body fat might alter how your body works. These changes are

gradual, have the potential to get worse over time, and may have a negative impact on health.The

good news is that by reducing part of your excess body fat, you can reduce your health risks.

Your health can be significantly impacted by even slight weight fluctuations Every weight loss

strategy does not work for everybody. Most people have made multiple attempts to lose weight

and maintaining a healthy weight is just as crucial as losing it initially.

A member of the aster family, lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is an annual leaf vegetable

(Asteraceae). The majority of lettuce species are consumed raw, and they are frequently used As

the foundation of green salads. Although the nutritional value of lettuce varies depending on the

variety, it is usually a good source of vitamins K and A.

The leafy green blooming plant known as spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is a native of central

and western Asia. It belongs to the subfamily Chenopodioideae of the family Amaranthaceae in

the order Caryophyllales. Its leaves are a popular edible vegetable that can be eaten either raw or

cooked after being preserved through canning, freezing, or dehydration. The taste varies greatly

depending on whether it is consumed cooked or raw, and steaming can help to lower the high

oxalate level.
 A leafy green, crimson (purple), or white (pale green) biennial plant used as an annual

vegetable crop for its densely-leaved heads, cabbage includes numerous varieties of Brassica

oleracea. It is a descendant of the wild cabbage (Brassica oleracea var, capitata) and a member of

the "cole crops" or brassicas, which means it is related to Savoy cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower,

and Brussels sprouts (var botrytis) (var, sabauda).

This study will determine the effectiveness of leafy green vegetables (lettuce, spinach,

cabbage) to our body. Specifically, it aims to answer the following questions. Is there a

significant good effects to our body besides becoming slim? Is there a significant taste the people

wants? Is there a significant odor the people is looking for? Here are the following null

hypothesis: There is a significant good effects besides becoming slim. There is a significant the

people wants. There is a significant odor the people are looking for.

Among the significance of the study is to identify the alarming case of obesity all over the

world. In addition, this study also wants to determine the effect of leafy green vegetables such as

lettuce, spinach, and cabbage. The findings will help individuals to help curve this problem in

order to have a better future.

The researchers from Oriental Mindoro National High School started this study last September

09, 2022. This study focuses on reducing the amount of case of obesity.
 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Malacańang, Manila by the president of the Philippines 162 proclamation declaring every

year’s obesity prevention awareness week during the first week of September wherefore, due to

the nation's increasing reliance on Western-style lifestyles and diets, which have a negative

impact on socio-economic development, obesity continues to become one of the nation's most

serious health problems,wherefore, in order to address the various issues surrounding the

prevention and treatment of obesity, management of the condition should be pursued in order to

lower the risk of serious illnesses like heart disease and type 2 diabetes as well as to enhance

quality of life.

Therefore, the first week of September has been designated as "Obesity Prevention

Awareness Week" to raise awareness of the growing problem of obesity In the US, the

prevalence of obesity was 41.9% from 2017 to March 2020 (2021 NHANES) The prevalence of

obesity in the US rose from 30.5% to 41.9% from 1999 to 2000 to March 2020. The prevalence

of extreme obesity rose from 4.7% to 9.2% throughout the same period (2021 NHANES). Heart

disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and a few cancer types are all diseases linked to obesity. These

are some of the main reasons why people die too young and avoidably. In 2019 dollars, the

estimated yearly medical cost of obesity in the United States was close to $173 billion. Adults

with obesity had medical expenses that were $1,861 more than those for people who were in a

healthy weight range.

 In wealthy nations, obesity is quite common and is spreading globally. Obesity raises the

risk of diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea. cancer, and

other disorders, which has grave implications for public health. Obesity is a significant

contributor to disability and may affect life expectancy. The methods for effective weight loss

will be covered in this chapter, including behavior modification, nutrition , exercise, medication,

and bariatric surgery.

The prevalence of obesity in the US rose from 30 5% to 41.9% from 1999 to 2000 to March

2020. The prevalence of extreme obesity rose from 4.7% to 9.2% throughout the same period.

(2021 NHANES) Heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and a few cancer types are all diseases

linked to obesity. These are some of the main reasons why people die too young and avoidably.

In 2019 dollars, the estimated yearly medical cost of obesity in the United States was close to

$173 billion. Adults with obesity had medical expenses that were $1,861 more than those for

people who were in a healthy weight range. Around the world, 650 million adults, 340 million

teenagers, and 39 million children are obese. This quantity is still rising.

One of the most important lettuce nutrition facts is that it is a rich source of vitamins K and

A and possesses numerous impressive health benefits. Lettuce may help in controlling

inflammation, reducing body weight, promoting brain health, and reducing the risk of

cardiovascular diseases. But there is more to lettuce that one must know. In this article, we

discuss the potential health benefits, nutritional profile, types, and side effects of lettuce
 Spinach and other green vegetables are incredibly healthy and excellent for burning tummy

fat Studies have been done on the subject of spinach's ability to burn fat, and the extremely

healthy vegetable has won this area. Spinach is a powerful food that can be consumed raw or

cooked and is excellent for promoting fitness, weight loss, and general health Your body can

benefit greatly from this natural nutrition factory. It is a fantastic food for losing weight because

it is low in calories and high in nutrients.

The plant known as cabbage is frequently consumed as a vegetable. The leaves are also used

medicinally by people. In addition to ulcers in the stomach and intestines, cabbage is also used to

treat stomach pain, too much stomach acid, and Roemheld syndrome. Additionally, morning

sickness and asthma are also treated with cabbage.

 METHODOLOGY

In able to do this study, the researchers need 20g of lettuce, 20g of spinach, 20g of cabbage,

the sun, and mortar and pestle. Additionally, the researchers also need tray, baking paper, tongs,

and containers.

To be able to make the tea powder, the 60g vegetables is going to be washed and get the leaves

separated from the stem by the researchers. The 60g of vegetable leaves will be placed on the

tray by them. The tray of 60g vegetable leaves will be set under the sun for a while. The 60g of

dried vegetable leaves will be grinded using mortar and pestle by the researchers.

Leinage tea, a slimming tea made from lettuce, spinach, and cabbage. This tea's efficacy,

taste, and odor will be tested by finding at least 15 contestants, specifically a woman with the

ages 16 or more and with the weight of 50-70kg. The researchers will be distributing a survey to

the contestants after 2 months to see if the tea if effective, has good odor, and good taste.

D. METHODS AND PROCEDURES

Collection of Needed Equipment and Materials

The vegetables will be collected from the researchers garden. The needed mortar and pestle

will be collected from one of the researcher's house. The oven is available at the researcher's

house. In addition, tools such as gloves, tray, baking paper and tongs will also be used.
Preparation of Sample Mixture

The leaf of the vegetables will be separated from the stem. Specifically, the researcher's need

60 grams of vegetables. The vegetables and baking paper will be placed down the tray. The

sample mixture for each tea will be composed of 20 grams of lettuce, 20 grams of spinach, and

20 grams of cabbage.

Setting up of Experiment Product

Once the samples become appropriate, the researchers will experiment two samples of three

different set ups of dried vegetables, this will serve as the experimental group. 30 grams of dried

vegetables will be used and 190 ML of hot water will be used too, respectively for all set up of

resources and to improve and promote the tea. Also, the issue of obesity will be addressed by

drinking the tea daily.

We need atleast 15 people to test the efficacy, taste and odor of the tea. We need 15 people

with different ages to test the tea.

DATA ANALYSIS

Once the data are gathered, the researchers will use the computation of mean to determine the

weight, how much dried vegetables are needed in one (1) tea bag, and how much hot water is

needed to be poured on the tea bag. In making the generalization for the best set-up, the
researchers will rank the different averages on different testing areas. In the discussion of the

alarming case of obesity, percentages will be used.

RISK AND SAFETY

The researchers recognized possible risks such as unexpected outage of power during the

drying process. Backup plans will be developed when the certain events occur to avoid serious

consequences.
