There has been a steady increase in childhood obesity in the United States and it continues to baffle and confound professionals of every stripe. Obviously it doesnt help matters that most foods sold in the US are packed full of high fructose corn syrup. But that can keep for another time. Obese children almost seem like they never had a chance at life, and we feel that is a sad testimony. These kids already suffer from a bunch of problems ranging from back pain to arthritis to Type II diabetes and, of course, bullying. This is a hard and terrible subject and well look at it some more in this article.
Type II diabetes is worth mentioning because it is up at the top of the list in terms of likelihood of occurring in kids, teens and even adults. Of course, it does make a certain sum of sense that it might happen. This specific kind of diabetes is different than Type I because it can be prevented sometimes. Risk factors for Type II diabetes include weight problems like obesity and a prolonged sedentary lifestyle. For those who are obese, their bodies are under a lot of extra pressure to produce more insulin. This is because there is more body there that needs to receive it. Then, as time goes on, the body starts to resist the insulin and thats when Type II occurs.
One of the oldest expressions around is that kids and children can be cruel to each other. Most of us have experienced this in some form when we were kids. Kids who suffer from obesity are a lot more likely to have to deal with lots of teasing and, often, being humiliated verbally. It is a marvel how kids who have to go through that can get through all those years of it without losing their sanity. We all know the possible consequences of such chronic abuse. The list of psychological issues these kids suffer from is quite long.
Researchers still dont know if there is a direct correlation between obesity and early onset puberty which is more common in girls than in boys. Obviously, though, there is also some common sense in looking at what we already know. For example, it is widely known that kids who are overweight or obese grow faster and enter puberty earlier. It is a situation, though, in which definite causation needs to be defined. While this is obviously not a really serious threat to the health of obesity related conditions there are definitely issues that can be related to the early onset of puberty. There is a serious problem with obesity in young children and teens that actually affects everybody else too. You should also look at it from the point of view of how much it costs society. Kids who are obese usually grow up into adults who are obese and that condition usually costs quite a lot in medical care, time taken off of work, etc. So this really is a social problem even though that is not at the forefront of awareness.
