Introduction:
Obesity is nowadays a major issue not only in Australia also all over the world. it has
been considered as a threat when the maximum number of young people in our country suffered
from this obesity issue. Obesity is a serious medical condition in which an excessive amount of
fat has been stored inside the body. This kind of condition will affect mostly the heart, bones,
lungs, muscles and digestive system also. The obese situation has been determined due to the
increasing BMI of a person.
Obesity among children:
I completely disagreed with the above statement that childhood obesity is key to reducing
obesity in adults (Ogden et al., 2016). It is true that most of the children not only of our country
also from all over the world loves to eat junk foods, pastries, sweets, candies and various
preserved food as well. These kinds of foods are actually considered as a very unhealthy food.
But most of the children are engaged with some physical activities also. Children are mostly
engaged with some physical activities like playing, swimming etc. The child’s health or body
must be flexible to do these kind of activities. Thus the unsaturated fats which they are
consuming by taking those junk food producing lots of energy in their case. The excessive
amount of fat cannot even store in their body. Children loves to eat junk foods but those foods
did not damage their heath condition as they are always engaged with playing cricket, football or
many other games. In such cases their metabolic rates become higher and the high amount of

carbohydrate used as energy. Thus in our country very small amount of children are suffering
with obesity but the young people do suffer with this. As we know nowadays people are very
busy with their life they really have time crunch to taking good care of their health ( Ogden et al.,
2016). This kind of situation destroys the immunity power of a body. Some people have this kind
of problem in their genes. Some people have some hormonal issues, which might be the reason
behind their excessive weight. But in most cases, this kind of situation comes because of the
consumption of an excessive amount of food which is contained with high saturated and
unsaturated fats and junk foods also (Sahoo et al., 2015). We already discussed that in most
cases this kind of situation comes due to excessive consumption of fast foods, cake, pastries,
drinks, alcohols and preserved foods. A person who is suffering from obesity has a high risk to
get affected with coronary cardiac diseases. In such cases, the excessive amount of fats will
present in blood vessels which will block the passage of the coronary artery. Thus the blood flow
stops and cardiac arrest occurs (Segal et al., 2016). But nowadays people become very health
conscious as healthy life is always considered as an asset. Staying healthy and fit is mandatory as
this is the only way to having normal, stress free life.
Conclusion:
With the detailed analysis and research, we can understand a person must be aware of
their diets and the amount of the consumption of the food. As we all know young generations are
the future of a country thus they need to grow healthy and need to stay healthy.
