Question
Why do children become overweight? My son is particularly chubby and now weighs 80 jin. He has always eaten a lot and particularly enjoys high-calorie foods like hamburgers, and he doesn’t like to exercise much. What could be the reason?
Answer
Childhood obesity is typically caused by a high-calorie diet and lack of physical activity. On the other hand, if the parents are overweight, their children are also prone to becoming overweight. It’s important to control the diet appropriately, especially avoiding high-fat and greasy foods, while maintaining a certain amount of exercise. It’s recommended to take children out for activities more often, buy sports equipment and toys to encourage them to exercise more.
