ReplyDeleteWhat the future holds for childhood obesity.
Those overweight children and teens are more likely to endure high blood pressure and high cholesterol, heart disease, as well as type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes was originally considered a disease that only adults could be diagnosed with. However, recently children have developed it and this is probably linked to the increase in overweight and obesity rates in children.
Youth who are overweight are more likely to be overweight or obese adults. Additionally, overweight and more so obese adults are at risk of glaucoma, cancer of the colon, breast, uterus and esophagus, hypertension, arthritis, stroke, sleep apnea, respiratory problems, and much more.
