9/14/2018 0 Comments Childhood Obesity AwarenessAlliance for a Healthier Generation just said that one in three children of NC are overweight or obese. Having this information, for the month of September, we must impart in the pediatrician's National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. In addition to genes, children also suffer from obesity with similar reasons as those of adults. There are wrong kind of food around children and on top of that, children have less physical activity in a day. Once they are obese during childhood, it is likely that they will also be obese as they grow old with of course, some health implications. What makes it better for kids is that they are able to change their habits early as compared to adults. If you check your child and you think that they are starting to be obese, the first thing that you could do is to determine if they have enough exercise in a day. The National Physical Activity Plan Alliance suggests children age six to nineteen to have at least one hour of physical activity in five days. If you want your child out of obesity, it is best to start changing their habits as early as they can.
