Childhood obesity has become a serious problem in recent year. What are the primary causes of this? What measures should be taken to reduce childhood obesity?

No doubt, the number of overweight children has significantly increased in recent years and is considered as a serious threat. An unhealthy, imbalanced diet and lack of physical activity are the main reasons for

this

condition. In order to tackle the issue strict

control

of children's nutrition and sports policy should be implemented. The first and most obvious cause of child

obesity

is the modern approach to

food

consumption.

For example

, unrestricted availability of fast

food

in schools and streets leads to a lack of healthy nutrients in the individual's organism.

Moreover

, sugar-rich drinks served in every place detriment the condition that results in dysfunction of critical organs.

In addition

, a stationary lifestyle that contributes to the consolidation of harmful elements accelerates irreversible changes in young bodies.

As a result

, diabetes and

obesity

become common

health

issues mostly in Western countries. One way to solve

this

problem is to apply policies and standards in schools that

control

food

ingredients and receipts. There should be

control

of daily procurement of

food

along with

constant

health

checkups in order to integrate an individual diet for those with a decline in

health

. The other way to approach

this

is mandatory physical exercises that are proportionate to the grade of

obesity

and capabilities of a child.

For instance

, the daily jogging and load-lifting activities after classes could be a greater measure than stuffing young and progressing bodies with drugs.

To conclude

,

while

there is a great threat to children's

health

associated with

obesity

, actions like

control

of meals and daily activities would reduce the negative effects. Strict policies should be applied and controlled in order to dismiss the problem.
