China has started a three-year “Weight Management Year (体重管理年)” plan from 2024 to 2027. This plan is to help people know that a healthy weight is very important.
A recent study shows that about 15% of teenagers (青少年) in China now have weight problems. Why are so many teens getting fat? Doctors say there are mainly two reasons. One big reason is their eating habits. Many teens love junk food. They often eat hamburgers, French fries and ice cream. These foods have lots of fat and sugar. The other reason is that they don’t exercise enough. Most teens spend a lot of time sitting in front of computers or mobile phones.

auses serious health problems. Some teens often seem so tired and have trouble running. Some of them may develop heart problems later in life. Overweight teens sometimes feel shy about their bodies.
They may be seen as lazy (懒惰的) or weak-willed. Some of their classmates may laugh at their weight. That makes them feel even worse about themselves.
The national plan includes activities, such as sports events and healthy eating plans. To help students, schools are making changes. Many schools now give students healthy lunches with vegetables, eggs and fish instead of fried food. Some fun activities, such as dancing or basketball, take place at school during class breaks to help students move more. Enough sleep is also very important for teens. Teens should get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Parents and teachers hope these steps will help students stay healthy and happy.
