over the past 30 years due to genetics, an increasingly sedentary lifestyle and more accessibility to processed food, explained Dr. Mélanie Henderson, a pediatric endocrinologist at CHU Sainte-Justine in Montreal.“With respect to summertime, the fact that we break our routine makes it more difficult to adhere to healthy lifestyle patterns,” she said.
Unhealthy habits such as increased screen time during the summer are a “big concern for parents,” according to Alyson Schafer, a family counsellor and parenting expert based in Toronto. But when children prioritize virtual experiences over real-life interactions like building relationships with friends and family or riding a bike, she warned it can lead to anxiety, depression and other associated behaviours such as binge eating.Targeting children at grocery stores, supermarkets with unhealthy foods
Henderson added that the complications of childhood obesity can also be more aggressive in kids than in adults.
