children are overweight which could result many problems when they grow older
An increasing number of children are overweight which could result many
problems when they grow older both in terms of their health and health care
costs. Why do you think so many children are overweight? What could be done to
solve this problem?
These days,
there is a controversy surrounding the issue of the obesity among
children throughout the globe. Some assert that being overweight would have a detrimental
effect on children’s health and also financial support of treatment will get
them in the trouble in the future . I persistently support this idea, and
in my personal view, children are involved in this issue in the view of the
fact that now they are not only enough physically active, but also they choose
to eat much more fast food rather than eating healthy.
There are a
number of reasons for the proliferation of overweight children in the society.
The first among such factors are eating a redundant amount of junk food.
According to a thorough scrutiny, 17% of children aged from 2-19 are a prey of
obesity. This is because there are some parents who choose not to cook at home
because they are indolent and thereby prefer to eat non-healthy food at
fast food places like McDonald's, which leads them as well as their kids
to be fat. Yet another factor, in my opinion, is not introducing the kids to
sports and exercises. In the modern day society, children are provided with
their personal phones, laptops, and video game consoles. Furthermore, on
an average, a child spends about 8 hours using technology per day. Therefore,
sitting at home all day and not physically playing games can also accelerate
fat as well as other harmful effects to other body parts like eyes, brain, and
heart.
In addition,
if the parents want their kids to stay fit, it is essential that they are being
more careful of what their children eat as well as focusing on their daily
activities. Parents should have a diet plan, in which their broods are
allowed to eat a very little amount of junk food; also, mothers/fathers should
try to prevent eating outside food as much as possible and cook healthy food at
home instead. Moreover, keeping an eye on how much time a child spends in front
of screens is significant. There should be a strict timetable, in which
a child can only spend 1-hour playing video games and at least 2 hours playing
sports and exercising.
In
conclusion, if couples want their children to be fit and healthy, they
have to spend a lot of time with their kids being staggering with their
eating habits as well as the use of technology.
