The relentless rise in methamphetamine use across Türkiye, particularly in Istanbul, has presented an alarming challenge for law enforcement agencies in recent years, stoking worry among citizens.

Türkiye is the country with the highest obesity prevalence in Europe, while one out every three adults are obese in the country, an expert has said.

Istanbul police's anti-narcotic unit has seized over 650 kilograms of methamphetamine in the latest operation, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu has informed.

The teams busted 654 kilograms of crystal and liquid methamphetamine in the operation carried out in the Beykoz district, Soylu wrote in a social media post, congratulating the unit.

A report by the Security General Directorate's narcotic department has unveiled weak family relationships are a major factor in methamphetamine use.

Examining the latest situation of methamphetamine addiction in the country, which affects the central nervous system and triggers many physical and psychological disorders, the department made remarkable findings.

Only 5 percent of Turks exercise regularly, while 29 of them "do nothing" for a healthy life, according to a study that examines what people in Turkey pay attention to for a healthy life.

The latest study by Areda Survey, an Istanbul-based research company, has shown that Turks do not give importance to healthy living.

Most people are under orders to stay at home. Though they are allowed to go out just to exercise, gyms and other facilities where people can work out are closed. That should not discourage people who want to stay or get in shape because, as research has found, walking is often just as beneficial a workout.

28% of Europeans did not exercise in their free time in 2017, reported NOVA TV. 

More than a quarter of Europeans do not practice any exercises, according to latest Eurostat data. According to them, 28% of Europeans did not exercise at all in their spare time in 2017.

The large-scale military exercise, which is being held in the country's 200-year history, will continue until Feb. 15.
