Not sure how long the lockdown will last. The children are stuck at home due to the lockdown. They are finding it difficult to spend the day.

Due to the lockdown, the family has accumulated more junk food like noodles, biscuits, crisps and beverages like Coke, Fenta, Red Bull in every house than required. Children are eating more junk food than home-made food.

In the name of spending time, children are staring at TV and mobile screens for hours and are physically inactive. As a result, their body fat increases and they become obese.

In addition, spending too much time in one place increases the level of blood and glucose in the body through insulin, digestive glands and hormones, which can lead to obesity in children with diabetes and even eye problems.
