Obesity Statistics

Obesity Statistics


Over the past 4 decades:

Quadrupled among children ages 6-22 yrs.

Tripled among adolescents ages 12-19 yrs.

Doubled among children ages 2-5 yrs.

Today nearly 23 million children and teens are either overweight or obese.

Obesity strongly associated with cardiovascular disease risk, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia.

Our lifestyle

 Our lifestyle
Today, many children spend a lot of time being inactive and simultaneously overeating. “An average child spends about 2-3 hours a day with television, the internet, mobile phones or video games during which they often snack on fast food and gulp down a lot of sugary soft drinks, all of which can add up huge calories.”

However it is not junk food alone that is making them obese—it is the junk lifestyle we provide them.

With this kind of lifestyle......eating junk, no activity, smoking, drinking...where are we heading.....



Hey guys please give this a thought.........
