It is thought by some people that
weight
problems
 in
children
 are caused by watching
TV
. While I agree that excessive hours in front of the
TV
 can contribute to
this
 problem,
diet
also
 plays a role.
Furthermore
,
weight
problems
 can only be dealt with by tackling the issues behind them.
Firstly
, I think that
although
 watching
TV
 in itself does not actually cause
children
 to gain
weight
, spending too much time each day sitting in front of the
TV
 without doing exercise can result in
weight
problems
.
In other words
, inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle are directly linked to
problems
 with obesity.
Secondly
,
however
,
weight
problems
 are
also
 compounded by a poor
diet
 consisting of a lack of healthy meals and too many processed foods containing high levels of fats and sugars.
This
 comes from both
children
 and parents making poor dietary choices that lack fresh whole foods. Both lack of exercise and poor
diet
 directly contribute to
weight
problems
 in
children
. There are two obvious solutions to dealing with childhood obesity. One answer is to reduce the amount of inactivity in a child's life by cutting out hours spent either watching
TV
 or on electronic devices, and use that time to participate in physical activities. By doing
this
,
children
 will burn off excess calories which will drastically reduce their
weight
. Altering a child's
diet
 is another measure that can be taken to tackle
this
 issue. Parents should be more proactive in producing healthier meals and reducing the amount of junk food available in the house. It might
also
 be sensible to encourage
children
 to take part in the cooking process which ought to ensure they grow up being able to produce their own balanced meals In conclusion, by introducing
children
 to sports and other physical activities as well as providing them with a better
diet
, these measures can counteract the causes of childhood obesity
