#countries #children
It is said that unhealthy
food
 habit leads to many problems, one of which is excessive weight gain. Though it is undeniable fact that nowadays many youngsters are facing
this
 issue due to their sedentary activities. In
this
 essay , I will discuss both viewpoints and draw solutions for the same.
To begin
, there are plenty of reasons for people suffering from obesity
such
 as unhealthy
food
 habits and lack of physical activities.
Firstly
, due to the busy schedule, parents do not have adequate time to make healthy meals for their
children
.
Secondly
, because of fewer physical
sports
 played by ,
children
 they tend to gain weight.
For example
, in today's ,era
children
 do not prefer playing
sports
 in comparison to the past.
Additionally
, several fast
food
 commercials target to entice
children
 to purchase and ingest fast
food
 or other fattening foods.
Nevertheless
, there are several measures which can help in preventing
this
 problem. To illustrate, parents should pay attention to their child's
food
 habits and they should set time in their schedule to prepare a healthy diet.
Moreover
, schools and academic institutions should increase extracurricular activities from which youngers can be physically active and maintain their physics.
For example
,
sports
such
 as soccer and cricket.
In addition
 to it, the government should spread more awareness and put a ban on unhealthy
food
 advertisements. To conclude,
although
 obesity is an issue with several causes, engaging in
sports
, a good family lifestyle and the government's prohibitions on misguiding commercials can control
this
 problem.
