With 14.4 million obese children in India, childhood obesity is a growing problem. Key risk factors include lack of physical activity due to increased screen time, overprotective parenting, excessive caloric intake from snacks and fast food, and aggressive marketing of unhealthy foods. Obese children often develop serious health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. Preventing childhood obesity requires efforts like educating parents, promoting community support, ensuring good nutrition early on, and limiting screen time in favor of physical activity. Countries have implemented strategies such as food labeling, marketing restrictions, and subsidizing healthy options. A comprehensive approach is needed to address this issue.
