A few days ago, the Ministry of Education released the results of the national compulsory education quality monitoring in 20 18. Monitoring sampling selected nearly 200,000 fourth and eighth grade students for investigation. The results show that the obesity rates of grade four and grade eight students are 8.8% and 9.7% respectively, which are higher than 20 15 1.9 and 2.2 percentage points respectively.

In fact, in the current living environment of students, the rise of obesity rate is traceable. First of all, overnutrition and sedentary are the main reasons for the rapid increase of the body mass index of students in China. Faced with a mountain of homework, students sit at their desks for a long time. Due to the limited attention paid to physical education courses in China at present, students' activity time is even reduced. With the increase of income and the improvement of consumption level, parents are trying their best to supplement their children's nutrition in the face of heavy schoolwork. However, due to the lack of nutrition and health knowledge of many parents, many children are overnourished. If you eat too much, the obesity rate of students will rise, which is certain. Secondly, in recent years, electronic digital products have become popular among teenagers, replacing outdoor sports as the first choice for most children's entertainment, which directly leads to the reduction of students' exercise and the soaring weight. Moreover, many foods on the market are over-processed, such as doughnuts and mutton kebabs, and there are too many sugar, salt and oil. Students have weak self-control, lack the concept of healthy eating, and are hard to resist delicious but unhealthy food, resulting in high calorie intake and increased fat.

? At present, China has not paid enough attention to the rising obesity rate of students, but many countries have taken measures to deal with this problem. For example, in Mexico, preventing overweight and obesity is the responsibility of the state, and the Ministry of Finance, the State Water Resources Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Agricultural Development and the Ministry of Labor all support and cooperate. At the school level, the Mexican government prohibits unqualified food and drinks from entering schools. This policy cuts off foods with high fat and low nutrition from the source, which is very effective in curbing fat accumulation. For another example, Britain also attaches great importance to the obesity of children and adolescents, requiring primary and secondary schools to ensure that all children have 30 minutes of physical exercise every day. Physical exercise is an important factor to ensure effective control of obesity and overweight. And let parents also participate in the process of children's weight loss, and ask parents to encourage their children to participate in sports activities to ensure a total of more than 60 minutes of fitness time every day. They also pay attention to early childhood education, control the food structure of early childhood children, and encourage parents to let early childhood children exercise more.

Childhood obesity will lead to adult obesity and many non-communicable diseases, which will bring a huge burden to the level of personal lifelong education, the achievements of the labor market and the whole society and family. We need to attach great importance to this problem and take effective measures. Establish an atmosphere and awareness of healthy living, reasonable diet and regular exercise in schools and society, and start from many aspects and disciplines to alleviate and solve the problem of rising obesity rate.

Children and adolescents grow and develop rapidly, and their demand for energy and nutrients is relatively higher than that of adults. Adequate nutrition is the material basis for normal intellectual and physical development and even lifelong health. Therefore, it is more necessary to emphasize reasonable diet and balanced nutrition. School age is also a critical period for the formation of eating behavior and lifestyle. Families, schools and society should actively carry out diet education to cultivate healthy eating behaviors and lifestyles of school-age children.
