I reckon I got a little lucky with my one 22 yo son. He's always been fit. We've never been an obese family. And never been "overweight" as we would be discussing here. Being 5'8", I can get pudgy and at 220 Im at my all-time high pushing 60th birthday. So, in comaprison to typical America, I look way better than many, many men half my age. My kid played football and and baseball is school. He eats well, and continues to work out post sports and has dropped his playing weight from 195 to 180ish, and could be in the Fireman's Calendar. Rarely will step foot in a doctor's office even if he needs to. No pandemic jabs, though he did have his required shots as a child. Cooks a good bit of his "workout" food. We eat realtively healty. Cook with fresh food as much as possible, and put up as much as the garden allows. I've swiched off to Jasmine rice only for the white rice, and imported italian pasta to get away from the "enriched" rice and pasta. Mine has done his share of gaming as well, but I never really had to regulate it, as he did sports, fished, golfed, etc. on his own and regularly.
It's not hard to healthy up, and it doesn't mean everyone has to be at Planet Fitness pinching yoga pants. Subtle diet changes can be huge. It's amazing what cutting out sodas for water will do. I carry a Yeti tumbler of ice water to work almost daily. And cooking solid meats and fresh veggie sautees. THe bloating and the desire for snacks disappear in less than two weeks easy.
