In this present world, obesity is a common problem among many children throughout
the world which is concerning many parents today. In this essay, I will discuss the
main reason and effect of this problem and offer a solution.

To begin with, the most important cause of obesity in youngsters is following an


unhealthy diet which is due to many reasons such as easy access to unhealthy food
products. To illustrate this, recent studies have shown that the most important reason
for children's obesity is that they eat high carb meals on a regular basis. Therefore, an
unsuitable diet can cause young people to become plump.

On the other hand, being overweight can cause many health-related issues ,particularly
among offspring. For instance, blood pressure and heart disease can be seen as the
most common problems among overweight children according to doctors. Thus, being
overweight can damage youngsters' health and cause them many issues.

Lastly, the main solution in my opinion is to involve the government and demand
drastic action against companies that advertise unhealthy food. For example, with
more taxation on those companies, they will be forced to provide more beneficial
products. Consequently, people will have better access to healthy food and the
consumption model of people will change for the better.

To conclude, obesity among kids is an important problem around the world. Given the
current circumstance, the best way to handle this is to demand action from the
government to advertise physical activities like walking and swimming and others.

✍️Childhood obesity has a considerable impact on public attention. It is globally


believed that more and more children are becoming obese, and it can bring detrimental
effects on them when they become older. There are the main causes of the issue,
which might be tackled by some feasible solutions.

To begin with, there are two major reasons that cause fatness in children. First of all,
the eating habits of today’s children are more unhealthy than those of previous
generations, they tend to consume too much fast food , candy, and sugary drinks. In
fact, these foods are very high in fat and sugars, but low in vitamins and minerals,
which can cause kids to gain weight quickly. Another reason is that having sedentary
lifestyles, modern kids tend to watch TV, surf the internet or play computer games
instead of playing outside or doing sport. As a consequence, they are becoming
increasingly obese and they may have a risk of diseases such as diabetes, heart
diseases, etc.

On the other hand, there are some beneficial solutions to mitigate the above present
causes. Firstly, parents should prepare wholesome meals which are delicious and look
appealing to them. One way for it is that instead of fried food, they can use other
methods of cooking like steaming or boiling. Secondly, governments should limit junk
food advertising or school authorities could ban selling unhealthy food at school.
Another option is that food companies be forced to put nutrition labels on their
products. This could act as a deterrent when a consumer sees that information. A third
option would be to encourage children to take regular exercise, for example, parents
could set a specific time for doing physical activity with family which is full of
enjoyment for kids. These diseases put a strain on hospitals and they are going to be a
heavy burden in the future.

To put in a nutshell, obesity is a chronic health issue that affects children these days.
It’s mainly caused by an inactive lifestyle and eating disorders and results in acute
health problems and loss of productivity. We could address it by changing their
lifestyle and the help of the authorities.

reasons and consequences. I write up a few causes and management in this essay.

Let us begin with, the main factors involve increasing body-weight in childhood are
diet patterns and a sedentary lifestyle. To explain, these days, children are consuming
food such as processed and medicine injected meat, junk snack, fast food. For
example, in restaurants, while cooking, adding more GMS and preservative to obtain
more customers and profit. Nowadays, both parents are working in the office, due to
the busy schedule they do not have the time to prepare foodstuff at home as a result,
order meal from outside for them as well as children it leads to weight gain. In
addition, in olden days, adolescent have played numerous outdoor games, but at
present they are like to involve indoor games it affects obesity. Thus, it is clearly
overweight caused by improper dietary supplements.

However, there are a number of solutions to solve this problem like to educate the
parents by the government and encourage the toddlers to participate in outdoor sports.
To elaborate, the ministry administration needs to give awareness about the
importance of a body fitness and the diet of childhood period. For instance, in India,
monthly, once in most of the government school, there is a meeting for parents to
improve health skills. Moreover, teach the toddler related to the importance of sports
and exercise. Thus, it is evident this is not a major trouble, it can manage easier.

To conclude, youth fatness developing due to a few reasons like unhealthy cuisine and
less activity. There is an understandable issue to clear with proper involvement of the
management and the individual.

✍️In today’s world childhood obesity is one of the most pressing problems. There are
many reasons for this issue and many effects have been associated with it. However, I
believe that several steps could be followed to improve this situation.There are two
main factors that are contributed to children obesity. One is bad eating habits: eating
junk foods like MacDonald’s and drinking sugary soft drinks. Another possible factor
could be that children nowadays tend to have a sedentary lifestyle, they play computer
games, chat on the internet rather than doing sport or playing outside.As a
consequence, of these factors, children these days are becoming obese. They are
overweight, unhealthy and unfit to play or to do any physical exercise. Another
devastating effect is that, the higher risk of heart diseases, diabetes and cancer. These
diseases put a strain on hospitals and they are going to be a heavy burden in the
future.On the other hand, I think there are several measurements can be done by
parents, governments and schools. Firstly, giving children healthy food, control what
they eat and ensure that they have a healthy diet. For example, the diet that includes
more vegetables and less fat contents. Secondly, governments can limit junk food
advertisements or prohibit those which are directed to children. Finally, restrict the
time they spend on computer and video games, and encourage them to do regular
exercise.In conclusion, it is true that obesity among children with its negative impacts,
is growing at an alarming rate but it seems to me that there are many solutions to
tackle this problem.
