HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Children who don’t exercise much are more likely to gain weight because they don’t burn as many calories. Too much time spent in sedentary activities, such as watching television or playing video games, also contributes to the problem.

Detailed explanation-2: -To help your child gain weight, try increasing their portion sizes at mealtimes, especially for starchy foods such as bread, rice, pasta and potatoes. Alternatively, if your child finds it hard to eat larger portions, try increasing the energy density of your child’s meals, until they have reached a healthy weight.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you eat fast, it’s much easier to eat a lot more food than your body really needs. Over time, excess calorie intake can lead to weight gain. One study in children found that 60% of those who ate rapidly also overate. The fast eaters were also 3 times more likely to be overweight ( 2 ).

Detailed explanation-4: -Eating too fast can cause weight gain People who eat quickly tend to weigh more than those who don’t ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ). In fact, fast eaters are up to 115% more likely than slower eaters to be obese ( 3 ). They also tend to gain weight over time, which may be partially due to eating too fast.
