• Today, nearly 1 out of 3 children and teens in developed countries are overweight or obese. Those extra pounds put kids at risk for developing serious health problems, which include diabetes, heart disease, and asthma. These stats are rising to 1 in 2 children in the UK.
• Childhood obesity also takes an emotional toll.
• Overweight children often have trouble keeping up with other kids and joining in sports and activities. Other kids may tease and exclude them, leading to low self-esteem, negative body image and even depression.
• However, there is plenty we can do to help kids. Diagnosing weight problems and obesity in children as early as possible can reduce their risk of developing serious medical conditions as they get older
• By getting the whole family involved, we can break the cycle of weight problems and obesity, boost the children’s physical and mental health, and help them establish a healthy relationship with food that will last a lifetime.
