Fatty?
I took Abby to the Peads today and again;there were some ‘Michelin ‘ Babies….
Children are obese because the calorie intake exceeds the utilisation of energy and all the excess of calories turns to fat….and finally if not monitored-Obesity!
Obesity can be caused by :
1.Genetic factors due to family history eg your family members/parents/grandparents had always had issues being on the ‘heavier’ side.
2.Dietary habit.Consumption of unhealthy diets eg more processed food,junks,snacks which are high in calories have replaced healthy meals and fruits.
3.Lack of activity;-the increasing dependance on tv,playstation has made children introverts which means less physical activities done.Reduces calory usage
4.Snacks in between meals and infront of tv
5.Socioeconomic status where we see children from families of lower incomes are likely to be obese because they are neglected in proper healthy food as both parents are working.
