Extra weight or obesity is a massive issue among children and youths nowadays. It does not happen overnight but it also includes environment, genetics, metabolism, behaviour and habits. The most important thing which hoots here is energy balance which can be helpful if one is well acknowledged with it. It is not about diabetes, heart disease that is being run but it is all about how you tackle it in a positive way . Weight can be balanced with a balancing diet.

The issue of obesity is not mystified but it always has a reason behind the genealogy of it, the reasons can be fat family, unhealthy and unbalanced diet. The major cause of obesity is not having too much of food but moving too little after it is what makes it an issue. We tend to hear from parents and health concerned people that we must eat healthy food and avoid eating burgers and pizzas on regular basis which will cause obesity, chronic illness and other diseases. But it is like no music for our ears and we pay little attention to this. Some people have developed a habit of comfort eating in which people tend to eat whenever they feel depressed or have low self-esteem just to make themselves feel better.

The small habits will help you to overcome this deadly disease like indulging into some physical activity - choosing staircase instead of lift or elevator; cycling, fast walking, exercising, doing yoga etc which is not a big task. A gym instructor, believes, “Working out an hour in a day will lead you to stay fit and it will prepare a shield around you to protect from all diseases.“

Experts say that the average physically active man needs about 2,500 calories a day to maintain a healthy weight, and the average physically active woman needs about 2,000 a day. This can be easily achieved by having a balanced diet and most importantly being physically active. Children should involve in outdoor games rather than sticking in front of TV or other gadgets. Childhood set the foundation for lifelong habits in their youth, making junk food particularly hazardous to their well-rounded development. Physical activity is also essential for children of all ages, and regularly eating junk food does not provide the necessary nutrients children need for sufficient energy to engage in physical activity . A lack of physical activity is harmful to physical and mental well being and may also exclude a child from critical social development.

Only reading about weight tips and consulting health specialist will not help you to grow healthy if one continues eating unhealthy food. Fattening food is likely to retain weight leading to obesity. One can balance their energy by equalising their energy and will take you far away from hazardous disease. Youths of today involve much in sedentary activities like TV , laptop, surfing which create caloric deficit. Thus, indulging in some physical activities will help you to burn your extra calories and will lift you up in every way. To sum up, it's not people who can teach you how to live healthy; eventually it's you who will follow the path of good and healthy life by executing the healthy knowledge that is crammed up in your head. So take a pledge towards a healthy life.
