Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

I am very sorry about your medical condition. Do not worry; I am here to take care of you.

The risk factors contributing to childhood obesity are poor teenage exercise. It is more common in males than females. Excess consumption of chocolate and food beverages and a family history of parents being obsessed are probable causes. The health risks are the early diagnosis of heart disease, juvenile diabetes, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, risk of malignancy, inflammatory joint disease of the spine, risk of early stroke, and renal impairment.

The lifestyle change to prevent childhood obesity is restricting the consumption of chocolate and food beverages. Encourage intake of fruits and vegetables, advise them to exercise daily, and regular hospital checkups to rule out unnecessary high levels of serum lipids.

The required nutrition requirements to avoid the disease are the intake of beans, cheese, maize, carrots, cabbage, millet, fruits, and vegetables. I hope this helps schedule another follow-up appointment via chat, phone, or video consultation.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.
