childhood obesity?
1. Nowadays doctors and health specialists say that children need to be on a good diet and get all the nutrition that they need but as the reports show, the obesity rate increases in children which causes hypertension at early age. Since we really take good care of our children at early age, why is the obesity rate is keep increasing?
The problem starts at school cafeterias. They eat pizzas, hamburgers, and other high fat foods that contribute to obesity. There are no healthy alternatives. Not to mention that most kids don’t get enough exercise after school. Most kids play video games all night which also contribute to obesity. Also, 90% of what you find in a grocery store is garbage. If you’re a label watcher like I am, you’ll notice that everything has high fructose corn syrup or is made with enriched flour. Both of these ingredients are poison to the body. Lastly, I blame childhood obesity on two working parents. When both parents are overworked and tired, the easiest thing to do is to stop at McDonald’s to feed the family. I see a long line of cars at every fast food drive thru every single day. This is probably the main reason kids are fat now; they are not getting a home cooked meal…..you’re welcome!
