What Precisely Defines A Childhood Obesity Epidemic by Gagandeep: 10:59am On Sep 07, 2021
Childhood obesity is being an epidemic and not something to take as a joke. Children and teenagers are being diagnosed all over the world. We understand that everyone has a different shape and size and not everyone is alike. However, when the classification of obese is given it is because the child or teen is not even within the lines of what is ok for their height and size

Exercising off what you eat is very important. Children that are obese are not burning the calories that they digest. The only time medication can help was if it was something considered a disease or genetic, maybe when they could do something for it.

There is a lot of things that can help along with the onset of obesity, there are things like no physical activity every day, not eating healthy food because there isn’t anything healthily cooked, eating to deal with stress or family /friend and school issues, these again are just a few of the problems associated with children becoming obese.

Children don’t see the outcomes on their bodies because they have obesity issues, physical and psychological issues are on the rise. For example1. Early menstruation cycles, and puberty

1. High cholesterol

2. High blood pressure

3. Liver disease

4. Bone problems

5. Joint issues

6. Teased and bullied

7. Lack of social skills

8. Anxiety issues

Doctors and parents are starting to work together to make sure that children are getting all the major food groups. As well if you have a child that likes video games, challenging games like the Wii fit will use your child’s activities to beat levels, and there are more games like that coming available. Schools have also banded to together to create healthy meals for cafeterias and get rid of vending machines that carry pop and make all of them carry water and juice.

Parents need to stress to their children that they need to help each other stay fit and lose the excess weight. There are many children and teens out there that want to lose weight but have a hard time because they don’t have the support that they need and don’t know where to get it. This causes a lack of education and the kids then turn to drugs and eating disorders to help themselves. Not knowing that there is a massive side effect from doing so.

We are not the only ones to blame, but it is important that we help to change it, for our future’s and our health’s sake. There was a time where it was weird to see obese people because we didn’t have computers and people spent their days outside in the summer and in the winter. Shovelling, raking and doing other activities and so did our children. It is so important that we understand that our children learn by our example.

If we can show our children that we are not lazy and sit around then perhaps they will not either. We need to make the effort to turn off the children and force our children to do other things and use their imagination. They may have forgotten that we were the boss but they have to relearn whether they liked it or not. It's time to take away the electronic fun and save it for a rainy day.

This generation is troubled by a new challenge, the childhood obesity epidemic. Many parents don’t realize that they are making things worse for their kids.
