Obesity was once considered a disease of adults; however, it is being increasingly common among children. Why do you think this is happening? What can be done to help children stay healthy?

#obesity #disease #adults #children
Obesity
 is mostly portrayed as a disease that could happen mostly to adults but now it happens to
children
 as well. There are some possible reasons for
this
 phenomenon,
for example
, eating behaviour of fast
food
 for the family with
kids
 and less physical activity for
children
 nowadays. Fast
food
 restaurants are getting famous as an option to spend their family time. Almost every weekend, we could see parents with their
kids
 are having meals in a junk
food
 bar. Fast
food
 is already known as unhealthy
food
 which contains too much salt and mostly has not enough nutrition.
Therefore
,
this
 family eating behaviour could risk
children
's
obesity
. On the other side,
kids
 these days mostly spend their time with gadgets rather than being active with friends and doing physical activities.
This
 lead to unstable of the input-output process of their energy and
finally
 the
children
 would have an
obesity
 problem. To reduce the potential of
obesity
 in
kids
, parents should understand the actual needs of their
children
 and feed them with nutritious
food
. It is probably harder than finding fast
food
,
however
 it would affect in a long term. It would affect the
children
's growth and health. The parents
also
 have to support their
kids
 to be more active physically and restrict the use of gadgets.
