As individuals we have a tendency to rationalise our inclination to be overweight or obese. We often say things like  heredity, the primary cause for most obesity is quite simple. A child gains weight when he or she consumes more calories than they burn. Because of this pandemic situation kids are restricted to house only.

Obesity has overtaken infectious diseases as the most significant contributor to ill health worldwide.

 Illness causes type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, heart diseases, stroke,certain types of cancer, and depression. Parents should keep a eye on child on what is the kid eating? Whether she is taking a balanced diet or not.

 When adults adopt an obese lifestyle, automatically kids will also try to eat what parents are eating. Nowadays in most of us are working atleast we will order food from restaurants even in pandemic situation. Pizza, burger, french fries these main causes obesity.

Obesity in children

Obesity in children is increasing day by day. Last 10 years cases have increased around 30%all over world.

 Children have a deep desire to improve their self-image, and will love the attention you give them as you develop a plan for a more healthy lifestyle for your entire family.

 Parents, guardians, and teachers can help children maintain a healthy weight by helping them develop healthy eating habits and limiting calorie-rich temptations. You also want to help children be physically active, have reduced watching time, and get adequate sleep.
