How to Scale Down Childhood Obesity jO3NN
Declared by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a worldwide chronic health threat, linked to children with copious amounts of body fat and a body mass index (BMI) in the 95th percentile, is childhood obesity. Universally accepted and endorsed by the CDC, BMI is a weight mechanism that calculates body fat by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. With that said, the primary source for childhood obesity generates from the overindulgence of both food and refreshments in which the body demands one’s day-to-day routine. Alternative elements associated with childhood obesity include a sedentary lifestyle lacking physical activity, dietary patterns with increased consumption of fast food, and a family’s socioeconomic status. Despite the impact these elements produce, families, schools, the media, and the notorious food and beverage industry all obtain the ability to combat childhood obesity as they command the dietary management and physical performance for children.
