                                             Obesity in Children

       The last years in the whole world, the obesity in children has been increasing in an alarming way. Nowadays, many countries are trying to do something to make their children’s life healthier. Obesity affects children psychologically and physically. That is why we need to change this situation. The problem of obesity in children can be solved by raising awareness among parents, providing an exercise program for elementary school, and doing a nutritional culture at an early age.

            There are many things that we can do to stop obesity, but the most important is to raise awareness among parents.  Parents affect their children a lot, and they shape children’s future. This starts at the early ages of children, even when they are small babies. Generally, parents want their children to eat more than enough. However, this causes children to acquire wrong eating habits at the early childhood and affects their whole life.  When children are born, parents should be informed about the healthiest eating style for their children.
     

Another solution is an exercising program. It should be implemented in elementary school as a complement to the nutritional culture for children. This program must arouse a sport spirit in them through sport clubs, which are going to be free, but these activities will be obligatory in public schools and with a minimum of 4 hours per week. It is certain that this can work.

            The other important thing to do is creating a nutritional culture at an early age. That is to implement in elementary school certain rules about the kind of food that can be sold, such as just fruit and nutritious meals. It is difficult to achieve this goal, but it is not impossible with the help of the government.

       As we saw, obesity in children can be solved by making parents more aware of the problem, taking action in the nutritional education of children, and in the way that they see sports. As a result, children in the world are going to grow healthier and with a different mentality about what they should and shouldn’t eat and what they have to do to keep their body and mind healthy.
