Most surprisingly the obesity problem in children is gradually increasing every where in the world today. It is suspected that at least 80 percent of such children would remain overweight even when they grow adults, if it is not taken up seriously. This may also put them at risk for various medical problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, higher cholesterol levels and sleeping disorder. Moreover, their self esteem could also be badly affected as they grow older.

They should be taught good eating habits and undergo regular routine physical activities and exercises. Physical activities should include physical education classes in the school and playing outdoor games.

The best way to get rid off excess body weight and keep the body fit is involve the body into more and more physical activities or sports or exercises, like: brisk walking, jogging, biking or bicycling, roller skating, ice skating, running, swimming, rope skipping and participate in several sports like volley ball, basket ball, base ball, foot ball or soccer, hockey, tennis and so on.
