A Hispanic toddler got type 2 diabetes, a sickness rarely seen in young people and more rare in people of her age. She weighed 35 kg as at the time she went to a medical specialist. It's Obvious that her condition was caused by unhealthy diet and lack of exercise.
After some changes in diets and lifestyle, her sugar level went back to normal.
This should serve as a lesson to all parents. Your lifestyle affects your children's health.Their future health is a sum of what feed them with, the hygiene you teach them(the hygiene they see you practice) and everything you do adds up gradually.
I won't forget to mention the common African believe that if you are not overfeeding your kids, you are not taking care of them well. Obesity is not a sign of good health neither is it a sign of wealth. You are only storing up death for them. Give your kids good food in right proportion. You cannot start taking them to the gym at this tender age so give them enough space for play and stop choking them. That is the only way they can burn fat in this stage of their lives. Moreover, If they are not playing in this early stage of their life, when will they get a chance to do so? 23?
These kids are your future, treat them as such.
