The World Obesity Federation predicts that by 2030, 6.2% of adolescents aged 10-19 will be obese, and 10.81% of children aged 5-9 will also be obese. In India, it is estimated that over 27 million children will be obese. It is important for children to have a balanced diet and exercise regularly to maintain a healthy weight and proper development. The quality of nutrients that children consume can significantly impact their health, growth, and functions. This study provides insights into the eating habits and preferences of school-aged children, the prevalence of junk food consumption, and parental concerns. Junk food is appealing to children because of its taste, affordability, and convenience, and its negative impact on health is not always understood. To promote holistic development, physical activity is essential for children’s physical, social, and mental well-being. Nutrition advice can also facilitate the adoption of healthy eating habits in the long term.Keywords
