In fact, globally, obesity rates have almost tripled since 1975. And it’s not just a problem among adults. Children too are increasingly suffering from weight problems with over 41 million youngsters under 5 years old considered overweight or obese . This rise in the number of overweight children is disturbing because it causes health issues and can also lead to social problems. Obesity is a major risk to children’s long and short-term health. Overweight children are very likely to become overweight adults and suffer from other weight-related diseases . They are also more likely to develop body image problems. Once children are overweight, it requires a lot of effort and commitment for them to return to a healthy weight. The best way to deal with obesity is through a healthy balanced diet combined with some form of regular physical activity . Healthy eating habits can be developed by increasing the consumption of lean protein , fruits and vegetables and by reducing the intake of salt, sugar and fat. Physical activity is necessary, but it doesn’t have to mean spending hours in the gym. A brisk walk or playing a sport can also help in reducing excess weight. Other small lifestyle changes such as walking the dog or taking the stairs can also contribute to weight loss . It is important to spread awareness regarding obesity so that we can all move towards a healthier world. Return to Video Writing Summarise the reading text in your own words. 5 0 words maximum.
