Child Obesity
Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder, particularly among the affluent, all over the world. Obesity may be described as a condition characterized by excessive deposition of fat in the body. It usually results from consumption of food in excess of physiological needs. Millions of rupees are spent every year on weight loss programs and in most cases there is strong tendency to regain weight.
Symptoms of Obesity in Children
Obese children are often referred to as "chubby". The best way to determine if your child is suffering from obesity is to call a child-specialist doctor and have him diagnose your child. Now, children actually naturally have higher levels of fat than adults, what is often referred to in layman′s terms as "baby fat", and this is perfectly natural. However, obesity is often accompanied by several other factors: chronic hunger, lethargy, and poor physical coordination.
