Obesity

Childhood obesity is often caused due to unhealthy lifestyle habits, or sometimes caused due to hereditary conditions. For example, in case your family history involves obesity, chances are you might also catch obesity. However, other factors include unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, family history of obesity, and socioeconomic factors, that can contribute to the development of obesity in children.

Childhood obesity not only leads to overweight but also leads to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep apnea, and joint problems. It can also have a significant impact on a child’s mental and emotional well-being, leading to low self-esteem and depression.
