Causes of obesity in children

Obesity is a fatal blow to women, and obesity in children is also a sorrow for parents. Obese people not only affect their appearance, but also their confidence due to excessive weight. Most importantly, it may also lead to some diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. Therefore, it is very important to control your weight. As a parent, it is best not to let your children become overweight.

Generally speaking, preventing the causes of obesity can effectively reduce the probability of obesity. Therefore, starting from the cause of the disease, it is possible to effectively prevent children from becoming obese and help them lose weight. So, let’s understand the reasons why children are obese.

The main causes of childhood obesity are summarized as follows:

1. Too little exercise. There is still debate about whether lack of exercise is a cause of obesity or a result of obesity, but it is certain that lack of exercise plays a role in maintaining obesity.

2. Long-term excessive energy intake. Most obese children live in families that like to eat greasy and sweet foods, and they develop the habit of overeating from an early age.

3. Psychological factors. Emotional trauma or psychological abnormalities caused by various reasons can induce overeating.

4. Genetic factors. Two-thirds of children whose parents are obese are also prone to obesity.

5. Other factors. Childhood obesity can also be caused by endocrine and metabolic disorders, hypothalamic diseases, etc., which is secondary obesity.

It should be noted here that even for adults, it is very difficult to control their appetite and insist on doing proper exercise every day, so it is understandable that children cannot persist because they are not mature in all aspects. Therefore, in the process of prevention and weight loss, parents should fully understand their children and adopt the best approach to achieve a win-win result.
