    OBESITY IS A SERIOUS ADOLESCENT PROBLEM

    The overweight adults population is at present 1 billion and 300,000 of them are suffering from the obesity problem. The adolescent obesity is considered by WHO to be an outbreak of worldwide proportion. Both the urbanized as well as the developing countries has been affected by this fact. One of the main causes considered for certain type of cancer, hypertension, type two diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases is obesity.

    The reasons for adolescent obesity are recognized due to lack of healthy entertaining amenities, the changing diet patterns and the inactive lifestyles. The media is one of the causative factors for the increasing amount of obese adults. The adults are showered with lots of information about lifestyle foods. The fast food restaurants are growing in highly developed cities in the world that generally serves the youths. Another major reason of obesity is the high sugar content and high saturated fat based of animals in the cooked dishes. The children also spend more time watching TV or playing computers games rather than playing games that involve more physical activities. Mainly the obese adults require support for maintaining and keeping their body weight perfect. If they do not follow the diet programs for weight reduction strictly or practice the weight loss exercise properly then those will be useless to them. These people require adequate support from their close friends and family members who can play a significant role in helping them with their aim of gaining a better physique and health.
