Health is wealth Being overweight perhaps the biggest single health problem among middle- income groups all over the world. On an average, over 50 percent adults in the developed countries of the world are overweight and obese. Obesity begins from the time one is a baby. Most parents over feed their children because they love a chubby baby. The risk of coronary attack begins from childhood. There is a close relation between the amount of food eaten, specially starchy, sugary and fatty food and obesity. Being overweight is not normally a question of glands or hereditary. It is entirely a question of eating too much wrong type of food. Children think it is a fashion to eat all kind of junk food, ice cream, chips etc forgetting that they have a negative effect of their health. Food has a useful unit of measurement called calorie.All food can be measured in terms of calorie.For example a slice of bread contains nearly 100 calories.On an average people need around 200 calories of energy food a day. Exercising to a certain extent helps in reducing overweight,but it will never bring the weight substantially.The only way one can reduce one's weight effectively is to control one's diet.The calories which one takes in by way of food must be less than the calories which one expends by way of movement and exercise. Parents should discourage their children consuming fast food by cooking fresh, wholesome,balanced and tasty food so that their children grow up healthy and strong.
