“You are what you eat”
My class has all pick topics that he/she is interested in and has began reserching about their topic. The topic that I have chosen is Childhood obesity. Child obesity has become a big issue in the past couple years because the number of childern becoming obese or overweight has increased. One out of every seven kids are obese and 40% of those kids continue to stay obese in their adulthood. This is very serious that child obesity is changed because as these children get older they are gonna have risks of health problems, such as, Heart attacks,Strokes,Type 2 diabetes,Breathing problems, Cancer, Hyperclyciema and mental health conditions ( depression, low self of steam).
Child obesity these days is mostly caused by eating habits and lack of physical health. Children are eating to much junky food that consist of sugar,fats,salts,carbs,etc. After the eat these foods they do activities that dont involve being active. Activies like sitting on a computer, watching TV, or playing video games.Researchers say that children should have an hour of physical activity a day. these kids are getting almost none. This has to change for the sake of our future.
