 CONCLUSIONS
 The western lifestyle, characterized by convenience food, TV and
PCs, is taking its toll on children as well as adults, and is producing
increased numbers of overweight, passive youngsters with lifestyle
diseases.[10-18] Kids spending too much time slouched in front of
the TV or PCs, should be encouraged to find a physical sport or
activity they enjoy. Fun exercises should be encouraged into family
outings. A pizza-and-video evening should be replaced for a hike and
picnic. Kids who do participate in sport, especially at a high
competitive level, can find the pressure to succeed very stressful. It's
important that parents watch out for signs of psychological strain, as
well as physical fatigue from overtraining. Young athletes also have
specific nutritional needs that require extra attention. A diet of only
junk food, overeating and lack of physical activity are not only
responsible for diseases related to nutrition, but also anorexia
nervosa, which involves many people starving themselves for
maintaining their figure. This type of disease is more prevalent in the
fashion and showbiz industry.
