situation, I believe the major responsibility lies with parents or guardians by offering them proper medical care and insisting they pick on some fun curricular activities

such

as swimming, badminton or dance. The second major problem that obesity leads to is it makes children susceptible to catching several diseases, to name a few, high cholesterol, breathing issues, allergies and acne. To cite an example, my brother who is turning 12
