Obesity is common among children. what could be the causes and solution?

The demand for fast food and processed foods is increasing

due to

time constraints and less work for

adults

. As children follow their parent's actions more than their words, they tend to retain their unhealthy eating habits. These unhealthy habits lead to various harmful effects on infants like tooth decay, low immunity and obesity. Among all obesity is the most dangerous effect as it leads to various other conditions like diabetes, high

sugar

, high fat etc. Attractive advertisements and weak regulations on products are the two most prominent causes of

this

problem among infants. We will discuss each problem and possible solution. Each company want to earn profit by maximising their customer sales, in order to achieve it they focus on the most widely popular theme for the ads containing emotional or pity statement. These videos attract the attention of not only young

kids

but

also

adults

leading to focus on the

content

shown rather than the

content

matters like nutrition,

sugar

content

etc.

This

causes increased

sugar

levels in infants and fat in

kids

.

For instance

, a chocolate company video promotes happiness among colleagues by consuming their products. The

content

doesn't focus on the harmful effects of

sugar

in these chocolates for all.

Thus

, a proper investigation should be done on the ingredients of the product to allow only healthy food items to enter the child's mouth. Unhealthy

kids

could destroy the future of the country. Not only

adults

but governments should

also

shoulder

this

burden and develop measures to promote healthy lifestyles. Initiatives like encouraging sports, providing yoga classes, etc at the school level will develop healthy habits in their lifestyle.

For example

, yoga day is celebrated by performing yoga by everyone in schools, offices, universities, etc. These initiatives encourage people to avoid unhealthy styles of living. More efforts need to be made by the government to regulate high-

sugar

foods in the market. In conclusion, a blind eye towards an unhealthy lifestyle will cost dearly not only parents but

also

the government. We need a collective effort from

adults

and governments to prevent damage to

kids

any

further
