Modern children are suffering from the diseases that were once considered to be meant for adults only. Obesity is a major disease prevalent among children. What are its causes and what solutions can be offered?

Nowadays, Children are being affected by diseases like

obesity

that were once thought to be meant for older people. The primary cause of

this

phenomenon is having too much

junk

, fast

food

. The most viable solution is to launch a publicity campaign in the media and schools. Adolescents, these days, eat too much

junk

, fast

food

that is

putting them in serious health condition like

obesity

and other health-related issues.

That is

to say that these foods contain things like cheese, mayonnaise and ketchup that are made up of fatty material. And the result of having

such

type of

food

is to face diseases like

obesity

and heart problems.

For example

, a recent survey of the University of Mumbai revealed that 15% were children of the people who came to hospitals having heart problems in the

last

year. The best solution is to launch a public awareness campaign in the media and school to educate people about the danger of having too much

junk

, fast

food

. It is necessary to make children and their parents realized that having these diseases can put their careers and lives in danger. A public awareness campaign could shed light on

this

predicament and allow people to be receptive about

this

.

For instance

,

this

initiative was taken in Japan 6years ago when 25% of the people who came to hospitals during the course of 6months were children that resulted in the reduction of these cases by 15%. In conclusion, youngsters are suffering from

obesity

and other heart-related issues that were meant to be for older people just around 2 decades ago because of consuming a vast amount of

junk

and fast

food

,

this

difficult situation can be tackled by launching an awareness program in the media and schools.
