Let me drift a little from the tech and finance writing and venture into some life facts. I feel there is a need for parents and individuals to have a rethink in order to create a more balanced lifestyle at both ends. You may be wondering why I am using the statement, ‘at both ends’, I will be getting there soon. One thing they say, always leads to another. Have you always come to realize some damaging things in the future would have been curbed at a very early stage?
One of such is the issue of obesity, it has been that kind of body disorder disease that has ended the future of many. There are so many traces to why it surfaces, one of them has been the issue of genetics. Have you heard when someone says I am not surprised he or she is fat, it is in their bloodline? It seems from here, we cannot fight it, or can't we? Let me even start from why we are addressing this topic. Ok, it was a conversation I had with a friend and he was discussing how some have not been able to avoid being fat because their parents were.
This was where I jumped in to bring in some clarity, a lot of happenings are out of ignorance. He was a little surprised at my feedback. I told him let say I went out for a business expedition or whatever for a while and came back home to see my child looking obsessed, my why would have to give an account for that. This is not me being harsh, it is just a clear fact of her ignorance. ‘Train up a child in the way he should grow’, this statement consists of the spiritual, physical and mental wellbeing of a child.

The essence of this article is to inform parents mostly on the need to grow a child the way that will favor him/her in the future not just out of ignorant emotions. Yes, some parents have helped ruin their children's destiny. Take for instance, you grew up in a gangster environment and to some point it affected you at your early age but you later was able to escape and leave a better life. Would you not look for a way to make sure your child doesn't go through that stage. One of the ideas would be to take him out of that environment; give him proper learning in a more friendly educational system. Perhaps it could be a boarding school to take him out of the street.
This is the same issue here, let's say just as my friend suggested, obesity has been in the bloodline, isn't it the duty of the parent to fight it in the life of that child as early as possible?. It has been one of those careless attitudes displayed by parents; they allow a child to eat as much as he wants. He will take in ALL the junk and can food to stupor and continue the same the Next day. No exercise or training after all these to even help burn down fat; it's all eat and sleep. If you TRY to advise, they will say, leave my child alone, let him enjoy his parents. I wasn't privileged to see and eat better food when I was his age. You have to be kidding me, you mean you are adding up what you could not consume for your child to cover up?

I have heard stories of parents paying a man to marry their child because no man is looking at her twice. If they do, trust me, it is in disgust. She was fat beyond realizing any beauty, who would want to marry a woman he will have to be carrying on a truck and in a few years time you will be thinking of a wheel chair. We are looking at a burden right from day one, wouldn't this have been a resolved issue should the parents stepped in early Enough to work on our physical appearance. Will that marriage be worth it, it can be that kind of thing that makes a married man chase after street girls. Same can also be the story of an obsessed man
To conclude, let me add, there are other factors we can consider as effects of obesity; diabetes, heart failure diseases can be one of those. When looking into emotions, it can lead to future stigmatization as it becomes difficult to blend it. Maybe I will have to write another article to cover this. The entire point here is, parents and caregivers should work to make sure they don't give out their children to obesity, the future dangers are very enormous.
