The revelation that states that the children in US are getting fatter, not fitter may give you a reason to worry. According to this new finding, obesity is sprouting out in the American kids at an alarming rate. A shocking fact that has been disclosed through this new finding is that between the periods of 1988 to 2004, abdominal obesity in the kids between the ages 2 to 19 years has touched the figure of 65 percent.
This disclosure is really startling because abdominal fat directly leads to metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular risks, and various other health related problems and type 2 diabetes is one of those common problems.
Personally, I believe that the main responsibility lies on the parents of the kids because they have the capability to restrict the eating habits of their kids and they can encourage their kids for physical activities more effectively.
