all parents to observe and deeply aware of the health of their children in every society.

When and how they watch TV? Why did they obese and inactive? 6

In fact, the researchers examined the response of all these questions because these questions is primarily related to the study.

Body Mass Index (BMI )

mass index (BMI) is used to estimate the weight of human health on average. A BMI of 20-24 is desirable for most adults.

Body Mass Index is only a rough estimation of desirable weight, but the doctors recognize that many factors other than the altitude effect on weight. Weight can not solely as an indicator of fat, as in the case of a bodybuilder, a high BMI may have because of a high proportion of muscle, which weighs more than fat.

What is Fat?

fats, or lipids, are nutrients in food, children’s pool? Body uses to build nerve tissue (like brain) and hormones. The body also uses fat as fuel. When fats, the children have eaten are not burned as energy or as building blocks, they are stored by the body in fat cells. It is a way of thinking about the body until after. By saving fat for future use, setting up times of food scarcity is planning just be

Fat gives flavor and texture of food could be, but it is also rich in calories, and excess amounts of fatty foods as surpluses of food business may cause health risks for many. For children and young people, desserts and snacks such as potato chips, chocolate, cakes, donuts, pastries and cookies are an important source of fat. Even the children of full-fat milk and meat are high in fat, such as meat fried and spicy. Of course, fast food and takeaways have more fat than home cooking and in restaurants tend to be deep-fried dishes of the highest in fat. Fat also often “hidden” in foods in cream, cheese, butter or sauces or dressings.

Although fat is an important part of a healthy diet, when the children eat the right kinds of fats, particularly from certain species of fish in the recommended amounts.

While some certainly better than others, some types of fat good for small children and an important part of a healthy diet.

Obesity increases the risk of developing the disease. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, nearly 70 percent of cases of heart disease in the United States, linked excess body fat and obese people more than twice as likely to develop hypertension. The risk of medical complications, especially heart disease, increases when body fat is distributed around the waist, especially in the abdomen. This type of distribution of upper body fat is more common in men than in women.8

A calorie is a unit for measuring the energy content of food and energy for usable to the body to maintain normal functions. If the calories from the food calories the body expends energy equal weight remains constant. But if a person consumes more calories than the body needs, the body stores these extra calories as fat, so that subsequent weight gain.

Obesity, a condition characterized by storage of excess body fat. The human body stores of course under the skin and fat around organs and joints. Fat is important for good health because they are a source of energy if the body does not have the energy to support the process of life, and it provides insulation and protection of internal organs. But the accumulation of too much body fat is associated with a variety of health problems. Studies show that people who are overweight or obese at greater risk, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, arthritis and certain forms of cancer.9

The causes of obesity are complex and just to name a few factors. Basically, obesity occurs when a person burns more calories than your body eats. Children have a probability of 80 percent obese overweight than their parents. Obesity in childhood and adolescence may be linked:

i) Poor eating habits
ii) over-eating habits
iii) the unnecessary use of cold drinks
iv) Non Food -Food and Nutrition />

The proportion of overweight children at an alarming rate. Overall, children spent less time exercising and more time with television and computers. And families now employs less free time to cook nutritious meals at home, prepare every day. From fast food to electronics, quick and easy seems to be the mentality of many people, young and old, are in the new millennium.

modern lifestyle has frozen the size of the family in the Pakistani society. The nuclear family is the place of the joint family. Lifestyle trends in the urban areas of Pakistan (rising incomes, more working, more working mothers and parents time-poor/cash-rich) tend to support their families, the guide children watching TV and eating more food unnecessary. In addition, the advertising industry makes junk food seem irresistible.

children, much of the Clock TV have trouble concentrating in school because they are accustomed, with all answers and instead invited to examine these questions. When children watch TV less, develops their imagination.

Unfortunately children are not adequate advice on what to do about it given. The media are not playing its role in the promotion of children? The rights and the difficulties they face in society. The authorities of Pakistan Television ignored on this side, and they can design programs based children? S requirements.

IMPACT children? S HEALTH

James suggests that â? Obesity in children comes from foods high in fat and low in fiber are. If the children eat, insulin not only increases the effects of dopamine pleasure chemicals (what the child wants to eat the same food), but also reduces the effects of the hormone leptons, these do what a child to eat, and less active? ?. 10

The TV also has negative effects, it creates problems for the eyes. It stops children from going out and playing with friends. This makes advertising buy things, even if they do not need. It can be tired and not concentrate on teaching.

LEAVE bad habits

Gerbner said that experts from many media in western countries, which continue to be deeply concerned about the commercial context of television. They argue that TV advertising is in effect on society, especially on the health of children and TV advertising is not on the air without reason.11

The impact of television on children has received much attention. Research suggests that children see television advertising as another form of programming and react blindly to his messages, which makes them particularly susceptible to advertising. He is also concerned about how children react advertising. Research shows that many children are wrongly influenced by this standard of health, are more satisfied with their bodies and eating disorders can in the pursuit of a slim figure to be developed. Advertise on daily life and eating habits, etc. Children and young people are influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by television commercials in Pakistan.
