How to Prevent Obesity in Children | Dr. Mamata Panda | CARE Hospitals

Dr. Mamata Panda, Senior Consultant at CARE Hospitals in Bhubaneswar, discusses childhood obesity prevention. Overweight and obese children develop for a number of causes. Genetic factors, a lack of physical exercise, bad eating choices, or a combination of these factors are the most typical reasons. Being overweight is only in rare cases caused by a medical ailment, such as a hormonal imbalance. A physical exam and some blood tests can rule out the chance that obesity is caused by a medical problem.
