Tips
Quality nutrition and physical activity are essential for
optimal growth, development, and well-being. The global shift in diet intake of
foods that are high in fat and sugar but low in nutrients has contributed
greatly to childhood obesity.
The
immediate and long-term effects of overweight and obesity impact the physical,
emotional, and social health of children and adolescents and places them at a
higher risk for the following health conditions (CDC, 2016a; Hoelscher, Kirk,
Ritchie, & Cunningham-Sabo, 2013; NIH, 2017):
· high blood pressure and high cholesterol
(cardiovascular disease);
· breathing problems such as asthma and sleep
apnea;
· type 2 diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance,
insulin resistance;
· fatty liver disease, gallstones,
gastro-esophageal reflux;
· psychological problems such as anxiety and
depression;
· joint and musculoskeletal disorders;
· poor self-esteem and quality of life;
· social problems such as bullying; and
· some cancers
