A Growing number of children worldwide are suffering from obesity. There are many reasons that attributes to this growing problem.
According to a survey conducted in Ireland, almost 70% of the children commute to schools in four wheelers or two wheelers. Some of who lives even not a mile away from the school too is driven to the school.
This makes it clear that they are not taking part in any physical activity such as cycling and walking.
Such inactive nature of the daily routine is leading to the increasing number of obese children. Furthermore, addiction to watching TV more than two to three hours a day is boosting the lethargic lifestyle of the child.
According to the survey unless the child actively gets involved in one hour of routinely work out daily, he or she is bound to be attacked by obesity.
