What are the dangers of obesity in children?

Living conditions are better now, so for children, who have received all their parents' love, eating whatever they want is not a problem. However, parents are afraid that their children will be hungry, so they are always willing to make or buy a lot of snacks for their children, but rarely accompany their children to exercise. Therefore, there are really many families with obese children. However, what adults don’t know is the harm of obesity in children. I believe that if they knew, this would not be the case.

Once children become obese, due to the increased proportion of body fat and insufficient excretion of acidic metabolites, the accumulation of these products will increase. Children will often feel tired, sleepy, and unwilling to move. Obesity also leads to disorders in water, sugar, and fat metabolism, and hyperinsulinemia, which can cause abnormal hunger, manifested as greed and excessive gluttony.

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various embarrassing symptoms of obesity, children suffer psychological pressure, develop inferiority complex, become withdrawn and have personality disorders, leading to serious psychological development disorders in children.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 is a detailed introduction to the dangers of obesity in children. I believe that everyone will feel a little scared after reading it. It turns out that the obesity in children indirectly harms them. If this continues, the impact will be huge both now and when they grow up. Moreover, the children have to endure the ridicule of others, which is irreparable psychological damage to them.
