What are the dangers of obesity in children?

Children nowadays are the treasures of the family. Parents would like to give their children all the nutritious foods. However, it is precisely because of this that children are not given a scientific and healthy eating habit that they are more likely to gain weight. Gaining weight is actually not good for children's physical health. Therefore, parents should pay attention to helping their children or urge them to exercise more to better avoid the problem of gaining weight.

If children are obese, 90% of them will become obese when they grow up. Obesity can also cause hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, hypertension, etc. Some children will suffer from sexual development disorders due to obesity. Boys will have hidden testicles, enlarged breasts and other developmental disorders of sexual organs and sexual characteristics; girls will experience precocious puberty or menstrual abnormalities, leading to sexual dysfunction and reproductive impotence in adulthood. Obesity can also affect the development of children's head shape and cause them to have stupid tendencies. It is also easy to develop X-shaped or O-shaped legs and flat feet.

The ability to live independently decreases, the body's resistance decreases, and it is easy to suffer from digestive and respiratory diseases. Excessive obesity leads to decreased respiratory system function, increased carbon dioxide concentration in the blood, hypoxia of the cerebral cortex, and difficulty for children to concentrate when studying, which affects their intellectual development. Due to changes in body shape, decreased physical strength and various embarrassing symptoms of obesity, children suffer psychological pressure, develop inferiority complex, become withdrawn and have personality disorders, leading to serious psychological development disorders in children.

The above are some of the dangers of obesity in children. I hope that after understanding these contents, everyone can pay special attention to these physical health issues of children and be sure to remind them to exercise more. This can effectively avoid the accumulation of fat and have a healthier body.
