A rising number of obese individuals can cause several health-related issues and financial burden due to expensive medical diagnosis & treatments at older stages of life. In my opinion, lack of awareness and parental guidance in children’s lives are few of the root causes of their excessive weight and an unhealthy lifestyle.
To begin with, nutrition plays a vital role in increasing weight issues, where majority of the people intake all sorts of food items without worrying about the amount of calories that they take-in. As per the researchers, most of the children have a craving for sweet after every meal which induces a sugar spike and is high in calories, which then leads to a diabetic condition. Furthermore, due to the engaging in advancing technological products ( Smartphone, laptops, tablets and so on) present in today’s era, children tend to lack a healthy routine to keep fit. To tackle and mitigate obesity crisis certain steps can be taken.
Firstly, the most effective and fruitful way of creating an impact in the society is to spread awareness and the right guidance about nourishment. For instance, online & local advertising to increase audience and organising social events to provide impactful speeches and clearing out any mental-blocks about nutrition among people. Secondly, a parental control over children’s screen-time can help to encourage them to engage in other offline activities like sports. It will also help in enhancing socializing skills in the kids as well as help them to stay fit and regular towards their health.
In conclusion, the high risk of diseases and the costly treatments are a major concern for obese people at latter stages of their lives. However, with implementing the aforementioned solutions a better lifestyle can be exemplified in the society and also fitness and good eating habits can be promoted.
