person’s height and weight to measure whether a
person is underweight, normal

or obese. A BMI of 25.0 and 29.9 is considered
overweight, while a BMI of 30 is considered obese.
About 31.7% of children (ages 2-19) and 39.6% of
adults in the U.S. are obese.

 Causes of
Obesity is caused by many factors, not just one factor alone.
The causes of obesity in children are like those in adults.

Obesity
Obesity is caused by poor nutrition, irregular sleeping routines,
and unhealthy lifestyles. Environmental factors can affect
obesity, especially for children. What children are given to
i
them affects their food choices that they make and their
physical activities. Obesity can occur genetically from
generation to generation however, that’s now common.
Overall, obesity is mainly caused by poor behavior choices,
like eating too many unhealthy calories and not exercising
enough.

side effects, as well. These include depression, having a low self-

 Ways to Prevent
There are many ways to prevent obesity. Taking simple steps everyday can help prevent obesity in the long-run!
• Exercise!
• The CDC recommends at least sixty minutes of physical activity per day. Some activates that you can do

Obesity
include running, jogging, and playing your favorite sport.
• Follow a healthy-eating plan.
• Focus on low-calorie that have multiple nutritional benefits.
• Avoid saturated fat if possible.
• Eat foods that promote a healthy weight and good health most of the time.
• Know and avoid food traps!
i
• Identify situations that trigger out-of-control eating.
• Keep a journal to record what you eat, how much you eat, and how you feel.
• Look at patterns after recording your thoughts in your journal.
• Record strategies for handling these types of situations.
• Stay in control of your eating behaviors.
• Monitor your weight regularly.
• People who weigh themselves at least once a week are more likely to keep off excess pounds.

 Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. About 10% of
the United States doesn’t eat breakfast everyday. Breakfast is
very important because, “breakfast jumpstarts your metabolism
and, thus, helps you burn more calories throughout the day”
(Rush). Eating breakfast allows iyou to become less overweight,
have a low BMI, consume less fat throughout the day, and meet
recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption. It can
even help you have a higher daily calcium and fiber intake. If
you skip breakfast, then you are more likely to be overweight
and consume unhealthy foods.

 Lunch
Lunch is very important for everyone. Lunch provides us
energy and nutrients to keep our bodies and brains, “working
efficiently through the afternoon” (Provitamil). The key to
having a nutritious lunch is “getting the right balance of
foods to provide you with thei nutrients you need to stay

healthy” (Provitamil). Eating a nutritious lunch is crucial so

that your blood sugar level increases in the middle of the
day, allowing you to focus for the rest of the afternoon. It
can even allow you to make smarter choices in your eating
habits by skipping unhealthy meals.

Tawseef Rahman
 Dinner
Dinner, the last meal of the day is also important as well. Since it’s
the last meal of the day, it’s important to eat right because you
won’t be eating again for at least another 10 hours. Eating dinner
ensures that there is a steady supply of glucose for our bodies to
use as fuel while we sleep. Insomnia
i
is due to low blood sugar
levels in the blood. In order to combat this, it’s important to eat a
good dinner that contains both protein and carbs. This ensures a
“steady release of glucose to the blood stream - helping to prevent
disturbed sleep” (Mental Healthy). Eating dinner, especially with
the family ensures healthy eating habits in the long-run.
