Respected Principal, My worthy teachers and dear friends. Today I am here to speak on Unhealthy eating habits prevalent in today’s children.

Due to liberalisation and globalisation, Pizza Huts, Mcdonalds, KFC have taken the place of healthy and nutritious diets of children. The craze for fast food is increasing day by day among today's children. We are all aware of the fact that fast food is detrimental to health of modern day children. These are only change our taste buds, nothing more than that. Do you know how junk food affect our lives ? Junk foods are the root cause of the most of health related issues.

These foods contain very huge amounts of salts, sugar and are too much spicy. High Calorie in sugar makes the today's children obese, various spices upsets digestive system and oil blocks arteries, causes strokes and heart attacks. One who eats sugary junk food, too much sweets can get cavities and fillings in his teeth. The salts used in junk food are very high, causes high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart diseases such as attack or strokes. (risk of heart attacks and strokes.) The salts used also affects functioning of our kidneys and create problems such as kidney stone. Clearly, junk food affects overall health of the children.

The need of the hour is that children should be teach to have healthy diet. And we need to promote healthy eating habits among school children. Parents should also be made aware of the harmful effects of junk food. It is the duty of parents that fruits, green leafy vegetables, necessary vitamins and minerals should be included in their daily diet. This will prevent them from getting obese.

Thank you.

The need of the hour is to inculcate healthy eating habits among today’s children.
