The entire article focuses on childhood obesity and children who suffer from obesity due to changing lifestyles should be taken care well by their parents.Obesity among the children is a common modern day problem.The parents should play an important role in creating an awareness among the children about obesity at a earlier age it self and also tell the importance of home cooked food over outside food.This helps to keep the calories in check.
Researchers found that 58 percent of obese children had watched two hours of TV in the previous day, compared to 41 percent of non-obese children.Watching TV not only makes the child sedentary but also makes them obese at a younger age itself. 45 percent of obese students always ate school lunch, but only 34 percent of non-obese students ate school lunch.
Significantly fewer obese kids exercised regularly, took physical education classes, or were a member of a sports team. It was also found out the eating and exercise patterns of obese children were so different than their normal weight peers, researchers concluded that lifestyle was more closely linked with childhood obesity, than genetics.
