Excessive consumption of junk food can lead to obesity and malnutrition

Nowadays, the types of snacks on the market are becoming more and more abundant, and the children's snack counters are becoming more and more full. However, among these snacks, “junk” foods with a high content of heavy oil, heavy sugar, and additives are often favored by children. Although these "junk" foods can give children a sense of pleasure, they also bring about many health problems. So what health problems do “junk” foods bring to children?

Junk food leads to obesity

In the past 30 years, the number of obese children in China has surged, and high-calorie junk food is an important cause of obesity. According to the “China Women’s Daily”, in 1985, the obesity rate of boys and girls in China was less than 1%; and in 2014, the obesity rate of boys reached 17.2%, and girls reached 9.11%, that is, every 6 boys and 11 girls. There are 1 fat girl in each girl.

As we all know, obesity will have a certain impact on human health. According to the China News Network, obesity can increase children's heart load, increase their metabolic burden on sugar, and cause heart disease and diabetes.

In addition, obesity can make children have psychological problems. According to the China Economic Net report, the aesthetic orientation of "being slim for the United States" in today's society will make obese children dissatisfied with their body shape, so that the child will have a fear of gaining weight and distorting his or her own body shape. Therefore, obese children often exhibit problems such as low self-esteem, low self-evaluation, lack of self-confidence, depression and anxiety. Because of lack of self-confidence, they can not actively participate in various collective activities, fear of contact with people, and gradually produce a retreat, avoidance, low self-esteem mentality, which will seriously affect their social adaptability and communication capabilities.

Junk food causes malnutrition

Junk food contains more fat and sugar, but less vitamin and protein content, long-term consumption will lead to children's nutritional intake is not balanced. According to Xinhuanet, about 60% of children who drink carbonated drinks for a long time are affected by calcium deficiency due to calcium deficiency. This is due to the high content of phosphorus in carbonated drinks, which leads to the imbalance of calcium and phosphorus in children, and excessive consumption of candies. The child will have a problem with high sugar levels in the body, which can lead to impediments to calcium metabolism and calcification in the child's body, which can affect long-term growth.

It is hoped that parents can urge their children to eat healthily, enhance physical activity and give their children a healthy body.
