What are the main causes for child obesity?
Child obesity is increasing because of the unhealthy food habits and less physical activities among the children. These children are habituated to consume lots of snacks, fast foods, aerated drinks like cola, etc. Even school canteens are providing this stuff hence luring the kids to binge on them even during the school hours. As a matter of fact no time regime is followed by these kids in terms of food. And the increase in the fast food centers in the urbanized areas has increased the rate of consumption of fast foods among the urban people. Apart from all this, these people rely on the packaged foods instead of home cooked foods. All these foods are rich in calories and have no nutritious value. These foods only add up to the weight of the kid. The physical activity among these kids is also found to be very less. All these factors are responsible for the sudden increase in the obesity rate among the children.
