Obesity in children is more harmful

1. Affecting growth and development Children are in the most vigorous period of growth and development. 

The bone path contains a large proportion of organic matter, and it is easy to bend and deform under force. Obese children who have too much weight will increase the burden on the lower limbs, especially the supporting joints of the lower limbs. Long-term overload of the lower limbs can easily cause arched legs and flat feet.

2. Influencing the development of intelligence. 

Experiments by medical experts have proved that the excessive amount of fat in the brain tissue is easy to form an "obese brain". "Obese brain" has slow thinking and poor memory, which will seriously affect the development of children's intelligence. As children are obese and their body surface area increases, the blood is insufficiently oxygenated and the brain is often in a state of hypoxia. Obese children are often sleepy and often have difficulty concentrating in class. Children with severe obesity have average academic performance.

3. Affecting physiological functions According to the survey, obesity is often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, pulmonary dysfunction, weakened heart function, fatty liver, arthritis, etc. 

It is due to the large accumulation of fat in the chest and abdomen of children, which affects to a certain extent The relaxation of the heart and the breathing of the lungs not only hinder the improvement and enhancement of cardiopulmonary function but also affect other functions, such as reduced vital capacity.

4. Affecting physical and mental health.

Like obese adults, obese children have the same habits of being afraid of heat, lethargy, greedy, snacking, and poor activities. Their movements are clumsy and slow to react, so they are often the objects of laughter, amusement, and even ridicule in group activities. For example, some obese children cannot participate in normal social activities because of their obesity and are considered "unsocial". Some were blamed for dragging down the class because they failed to meet the standards. A female camper from the Winter Camp for Obese Children said that because of her obesity, she had not attended physical education for more than two years. What made her more distressed was that people around her looked at her like a "monster". For this reason, every day when going to school and after school, we must choose the street people to walk when they are small. I rarely go out of the house. Obesity hurts children's self-esteem and stimulates their souls. To avoid ridicule, it is easy to be "unsocial", so that the personality becomes withdrawn, and even produces a serious inferiority complex, which will hinder their physical and mental health over time.
