Fitness Expert Talks About Children and Obesity

The Top 20 Mistakes That Kill Your Muscle Gains...And How to Avoid Them
I have experimented with every possible training system and diet under the sun because the desire to get bigger has always been an obsession of mine for as long as I can remember. You see, when I was young, I was always the weakest, scrawniest kid around. I was the one who always got made fun of, who always got picked last in gym class or on the playground and who always got bullied by all the bigger kids. I hated it and desperately wanted to change my life for the better.

As you may know, obesity is a growing problem in America's adults and teenagers. A new study has shown that the problem now lies within children. Sometimes these children are as young as 3 years old.

It might not seem possible but, almost two thousand children examined in a recent study found a surprisingly high number of overweight and obese children at just three years of age.

The study was mostly focused on a group of children coming from income families in twenty large US cities. The children were born between the years 1998 and 2000. Their height and weight was recorded. Researchers found that close to one-third of white and black children were all slightly overweight to obese. This amount rose to forty-four percent when Latino children were tested.

These high numbers should be very concerning, but why was there such a high amount of obese children found in the Latino test? That study showed that there were more Latino children who had overweight mothers and Latino children were more likely to be given a bottle when they were put to bed, this, which clearly contributed to the problem. Although, it doesn't seem likely that this could be the entire result of the problem.

There is a lot of pressure when it comes to emphasizing being overweight. Now this pressure is being placed on very young children. Besides child obesity, we are also starting to see a growing number of other medical problems in children. Asthma and high blood pressure is appearing earlier and earlier.

There are many aspects for these growing problems. I want people to start taking more notice of what is going on in the world. It's already a big problem that adults should be affected with such things, but the fact that it's not affecting children as young as 3, means that something must be done.
