person. It can be caused in children’s by lack of physical activity, eating unhealthy junk food and
genetic factor. As it can be interpreted that children’s are the active human being in lifetime but
nowadays they are becoming lazy. In a survey it is found that seventy percent of the children’s
have risk factor that is obesity. On the other hand, sixty two percent were women that were
overweight and obese. It also causes psychological problem in the children’s. As children’s keep
their eyes on mobile phones that decrease outdoor activities by them that affect health of them in

generations with health problems. Children can be motivated by guiding them that they should
go outside playing games, doing exercise that prevent their health. In developing as well as

children. As no one will like them. Children don’t know quantity that is suitable for their health
and they so over diet that affect their body. There are some children’s that do not have affect on
their body after eating so much food but on the other hand other children that are eating excess
food they have to face problem of obesity. There are several methods that help in measuring
percentage of fat in the body.
Overweight is often misinterpreted as that can be proven as professional body
builders that are having overweight do not suffer from problem of obesity. Certain amount of fat
is required for getting energy and enhancing water, muscle that help in performing various
functions. It is necessary of having twenty five percent fat in women that help in performing
regular task by them (Wiley and Matthews, 2017). For the purpose of doing physical exercise
that help in reducing obesity and overweight from individuals. It can be said that having more fat
that lead to influence people for the future purpose in them. It also leads to create problem of
depression sometimes as feeling of sadness and other health problems. Increasing problem of

enhance health of children. It contribute to large portion that affect calorie and enhancing health
of intake in caloric foods that are available in the market. One of the most important factor that is
most important for providing dramatically changing needs of consumer in the market. It can be

amount of time spent on consuming outside food influence health (Burris and et. al., 2016).
Increasing amount of time spent on physical activity that relate different perspective for the
future. Research that will be indicated that provide different change in spending more time and
influencing changes for the future. It can be evaluated that provide different aspects that enhance
future course of action.
There are different factors that affect childhood obesity such as environmental,
socio-cultural, physiological and family factors. Environmental factors include television and use
of media that has contributed that have been providing opportunities for physical activity. There

are different opportunities that will be provided for including changes that provide different
aspect that create problem in the future. Other reason that will be provided for enhancing future

probably found in children these days . in some these diseases can result in death also. Childhood
obesity can also affect ones emotional health and social adolescent. Obesity has been described
as being “one of the most stigmatizing and least socially acceptable conditions in childhood.” It
is difficult for overweight children to practice physical activities as they tend to be slower than
their peers and contend with shortness of breath.
A overweight children have more problem than their normal weight children .
Overweight children have more chances to get more diseases as compared to normal weight .
Overweight children may tired faster than normal weight as overweight child can’t run faster
because more fat . If parents enforce healthier lifestyle at home, many obesity problems could be
avoided because if parent tend to eat healthy food child would also eat that food which is eaten
by parents. According to most recent data, adult obesity rate now exceeded to thirty five percent
in four state, thirty percent in 25 state and above 20 percent in all state. In the whole world
Louisiana has highest adult obesity rate at thirty six point two percent. If a child gain more
calories than it burn, than a child gain weight. Metabolic factor, lifestyle choices, environment,
behavior, and culture are some result of body weight. Children obesity is another problem that is
controversial affect problem and influence various aspects that provide changes in bringing out
diabetes this lead to create problem for the future aspects and provide children that generally
overweight and technological changes in the society for developing fast food habit and creating
most popular affect various changes that influence children.
These aspects evaluate problems and enhancing health that lead in bringing
out eating and best choices for affecting generally places (Meier, 2016). It is important for
developing best choices and creating convenient process and providing food that provide change
in most significant aspect that influence health of people and through advertisement that
influence advertising their products on social media that enhance advertising their products on
television and creating changing various aspects that bring effectiveness in bringing out
different health care precautions that provide effective change in accumulation that is presented
in health and measuring obesity of an individual.

Little activity and many calories are main contributor to overweight. Eating of
high calorie food, such as fast food, snacks, candy, dessert, sugar drinks may result in
overweight. Children who don’t exercise much are more likely to gain weight as calories are not
burning instead increasing more and more. Watching television or playing on mobile everytime
also contribute to overweight. If a child coming from a family of overweight people, child may
be likely to be overweight. Some children overeat to come out from stress, or deal with emotions
and many more. Obesity could increase risk of diabetes. This condition can put a child at risk of
heart diseases, diabetes and other health problem. Poor diet may result in blockage of arteries
which result in heart attack. Problem of obesity may lead to asthma, Sleeping sickness and many
more. NAFID (Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease)may lead to liver damage due to blockage of
liver. Children with overweight who suffer from self-esteem may have risk of depression.
Obesity may lead to change in behavior and learning problem such as anxiety and poor social
skill. Low self-esteem can create overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, which is also a cause
of depression.
By limiting childs consumption of sugar-sweatened food or by avoiding fast
food, providing fruits and vegetable, by limiting television , required sleep ,we can prevent a
child from obesity. Although it is difficult for parents to make healthy food choices and get
enough physical activity to child when they are out that do not support healthy habits can affect
childrens diet. Higher level of physical activity during childhood lead to less body fat in the time
of adolescence. Sleep apnea and cardiovascular diseases are the diseases which could directly
result from obesity. Sleep apnea is one type of sleeping disorder cause by abnormal pauses in
breathing. Obesity may result in blockage of many organ by increase in adipose tissue which
make difficult to child to breath. Beside healthy diet, physical activity, adequate sleep
comprehensive education about healthy eating is also important as it promote self-efficacy and
enhancing skills related to healthy choices.
There are various factors that will be identified and contributing to various
aspects that will be provided creating childhood obesity. Consumption of unhealthy food such as
fast food and junk food is a leading suspect in the childhood obesity. It includes saturated and
transfats nutritious warn against. A large fast food meal can contain about 2200 calories at a burn
rate of 85-100 calories per mile that require something expend. On the other hand, sweetened

soft drinks often contain empty calories and contributing to the total calorie intake. Obesity in
children that could be caused by their lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating diets and various
genetic factors that affect health of children and adolescents that is helpful for the future course
of action. Some of its effects are on cholesterol, blood pressure, heart and the blood glucose
levels that influence bones of children in the future.
Due to obesity children do not feel active and they are becoming lazy that
influence . People should think that overeating or overweight will cause health issues or health
problems . If anyone is suffering from obesity then definitely some health issue must be their in
someone’s body. It also causes poor academic performance and a lower quality of life
experienced by the child . By sitting at one place doing job for 8 to 12 hours a day also causes
obesity (Ellens and Roberts eds., 2015). It is a very harmful for anybody’s body as one it is
caused then very difficult to get rid of it. Due to innovation and new technology children pay
more attention on computers and video games become increasingly popular , the number of
hours of inactivity may increase. The most common causes are genetic factor , lack of physical
activity, unhealthy eating pattern, or combination of these factors . Only in rare cases is being
overweight caused by a medical condition such as a hormonal problem. A physical exam and
some blood tests can rule out the possibility of a medical condition as the cause for obesity.
Although weight problems run in families, not all children with a family history of obesity will
be overweight. Children whose parents or brother or sisters are overweight may be at an
increased risk of becoming overweight themselves, but this can be linked to shared family
behaviors such as eating and activity habits. Obesity should be controlled by childrens as well as
adults either it can be harmful to ones body.

in the company. It provide safety to people that help in providing various aspects and enhance
health of people in the country. There are different essential element that help in providing
changes and it is important for people to take care of their health that help them in doing work
effectively and efficiently.
