Well, for kids, they don’t say it for nothing, “Let them eat, it’s their growing age.” Children - in their early years and till the end of the teenage period of life - should eat sufficient healthy food to meet the needs of their constantly growing bodies. But, perhaps owing to the unwavering exposure to TV commercials talking about diet programs and ads in newspapers about diet pills, some children start developing a feeling of awkward and self-conscious about their physical appearance. As a result of this, they end up doing something which isn’t mean t for them, at least at this very age. The word is ‘Dieting’.
As put forward in a study on 14,972 children conducted in October 2003 Pediatrics, the more often that children dieted, possibly the more chances are they were to become more overweight over the next three years.
