Obesity and overweight are the second most prominent reasons for unnecessary deaths in America. Stagnant lifestyle and junk food are to be blamed for more than three hundred thousand fatalities every yr. The terrible issue is that this problem is on the rise. Obesity is a chronic condition that offers major health risks to the health of an individual. Also, obesity is the easiest recognizable medical problem but is quite tough to treat.

People commonly confuse obesity with overweight. Overweight is the acquisition of a few excess pounds. A person is deemed obese when the total body weight is a minimum of 10 percent greater than the ideal weight for his/her body shape and height. According to an estimate, every year hundred billion dollars are spent on the obesity epidemic. It is very crucial to tackle the condition as early as feasible. Obese youngsters between the age of ten and thirteen have an eighty percent possibility of developing into obese adults unless they change their habits and adopt a healthier lifestyle. The obesity problem starts at the age of five and persists through adolescence.

Obesity can be caused owing to multiple reasons including biological, genetic, cultural, and behavioral variables. Usually, a person develops fat when he/she consumes more calories than the body burns. Also, there are fifty percent possibilities of getting obese when both parents are obese and when obesity has impacted both parents, the risks climb to eighty percent. One percent of obese persons can have that fat because of health reasons, as obesity can be induced owing to a few medical diseases. The causes of obesity in adolescents are overeating, family history, unhealthy eating habits, little or no exercise, medical sickness, low self-worth, medications, depression, emotional problems, stressful living, and family problems.

Obesity can cause numerous severe concerns. Some of these are diabetes, sleeping issues, high blood pressure, respiratory problems, emotional problems, and an increase in heart disease risk. Teenagers are more prone to get emotional difficulties. Because of the weight, individuals acquire low self-worth. They get into despair, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety.

Adolescents who want to combat the obesity problem should visit a pediatrician who will completely assess the cause. If no physical disorder is to be blamed, the weight is lowered by lowering the calorie intake and increasing physical exercise. The doctor might recommend a weight management program and improve the eating habits of the youngster, slowly. The patient must avoid oily, fatty, quick, and junk meals. The potions must be lowered in order to lessen calorie consumption. If the adolescent has developed emotional problems because of obesity, an adolescent psychiatrist might consult with the pediatrician in order to build a thorough plan for therapy. The plan contains appropriate goals, behavior change, family participation, and control of physical activity.

Self-motivation is incredibly vital in dropping weight. Because obesity is primarily a family problem and not an individual problem, the complete family may convert to eating nutritious food and exercising regularly. This can make the weight reduction regimen a success. Parents can play a key role by raising the self-confidence of their children by emphasizing their strengths and encouraging them, instead of targeting the weight problem. The complete family should have meals together, instead of eating alone while watching a movie. This encourages all the members to focus on the meal and the quantity being eaten. If the teenager isn’t getting support from his family members, he/she can join support groups that can help towards the goals.

After the adolescent has dropped weight, it is very crucial that he/she maintains it. In 95% of the situations, people move back to their old eating habits after shedding weight. That is the reason why obesity is more of a lifetime concern. So the major aim of any weight loss program must be to make the adolescent like healthier food. He/she must also be made to exercise regularly, irrespective of the weight.
