Kids Driven To World of Obesity...Daily Diet Zero on Fiber & High on Calories by Saurabh Verma

High-calorie, low-fiber diets can promote hormonal imbalances that lead children to overeat, a recent research warns about this aspect. Current food-manufacturing practices prevalent in present world are also responsible to create such a "toxic environment" that pushes children to being overweight, said Dr. Robert Lustig. He conducted a large-scale review of obesity research. His findings were published in the August issue of the journal Nature Clinical Practice Endocrinology & Metabolism. Weight loss in kids under impact of such a over eating mode need extra precautions. Present world twenty first century food environment has become highly 'insulinogenic,' as demonstrated by its increased energy density, high fat content, high glycemic index, increased fructose composition, decreased fiber, and decreased dairy content as found by Lustig. He also point out the major reasons for such a condition include the below mentioned.
"In particular, fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin," Lustig said.
He also revealed the fact that obesity in present world is the most commonly-diagnosed childhood ailment in the United States and other western countries. Diseases previously only seen in adults, such as type 2 diabetes, are now becoming widespread in children.
Children who are obese are often ridiculed and socially isolated, which puts them at risk for depression and other mental health problems, Lustig said. To make it possible for children to have a childhood of fun and enjoyment it is necessary to introduce concept of weight loss and fitness in their daily schedule.
To make such a weight loss for better children future he urged societal action to correct the problem, noting that children can't be blamed for being overweight or expected to take personal responsibility for poor dietary habits when they're surrounded by unhealthy foods. It can be said that aim for healthy weight loss starts with control on eating habit.
