What are some other reasons (other than fast food) for childhood obesity? |
Like depression, other health conditions such as thyroid problems etc. I'm working on a paper and I need to add in some additional factors with cause and effect. Well, there is the obvious lack of exercise. This is likely due to the fact that most kids like to play video games now instead of going outside to play. Also, most of the foods they eat are processed and full of preservatives which is simply bad for the body. For some, it could be the fact that they do not get enough attention. This could be due to a poor relationship between their parents, parents who are not "present", etc. For some, they probably have a family who is generally obese and therefore they have a genetic precondition towards it and role models who aren't teaching them how to control their habits. bad habits from parents, lack of excercise, were not many fat kids when i was young like today lazy kids, video games, computers internet, parents are never home any mroe to watch what they eat or what they do. been on too many medications. i.e parents who rush their kids to the hospital over a little runny nose. thyroid problems diabetis glandular have a Dr do all 3 tests,then go from there I don't know much about health factors, but I can think of a big social one. Parents who are too afraid to let their kids play. The end result of so much sensationalism about child-molesters and the other dangers of the world is that many parents are just too scared to let tehir children run around outside and play. They keep the kids inside, where they have to play quietly and don't get near as much exercise. The removal and de-emphasis on gym class doesn't help either. When I grew up, it was rare to see a heavy child, stocky maybe. We played outside and were on the move constantly. Nowadays kids sit with headphones on, or playing games on the tv. They just sit for too long a time. Couple that with a bad diet. Many meals are eaten outside the home. There was no fast food when I was young - Mom cooked it all. We rarely went to a restaurant. Diet and not enough exercise. |
