Have we become a lazy society? Are we an over-indulgent society? When one looks at the issue of over-weight people, it would seem to be the case. More and more people are becoming over weight, and the problem is emerging earlier and earlier in a persons life. Take a look at the number of overweight children you see. It will amaze you once you begin to take notice. The number of people that need to lose weight is amazing, and it continues to grow.

When asked as to the reasons for the weight problem facing many in our society, one may get any number of answers. However, many will point to fast foods and a more sedentary lifestyle are responsible for more and more people becoming seriously overweight and needing to lose weight. More and more young people are being diagnosed as obese, and degenerative illnesses are becoming more prevalent amongst obese adults

Some serious health problems can result from being over weight, even to the point of causing death. Obesity can lead to type 11 diabetes and heart disease. Bad eating habits that develop in childhood are contributing to this growing trend amongst young people. They need to be taught how to lose weight now before the problem escalates.

Our society has had some important changes over the last fifty years. Today many families have both parents in the work force and our food industry has become such that everything is a “fast” food. In the early years parents have control on what their children eat. Unfortunately many parents have bad dietary habits themselves and so these habits are passed on to their children. They are also more inclined to give in to their children’s whims and fancies regarding food, which then develop life long poor eating habits

Why have so many unhealthy foods become part of our daily lives? It seems that we have lost our desire for healthy foods. Is it any wonder that so many people need to lose weight? Many parents and other adults mistakenly believe that children need or deserve sweets or sweet treats. What they don’t seem to realize is that there are many healthy snacks and treats that you can give your child. Grapes and small pieces of fruit are popular with young children and dried fruit and nuts are also a good alternative to sweet treats.

As adults we know how difficult it is to lose weight. Most children who need to lose weight probably do not have a good understanding of this issue. Those children who need to lose weight do not have the benefit of healthy dietary habits to fall back on and consequently they will find it very difficult to lose weight. All children should be encouraged to have a well balanced healthy diet with the correct balance of protein, fat and carbohydrate. They should also be encouraged to exercise more and take part in physical activities rather than engage in the more sedentary activities in front of the computer.
