Thickest child in the world
According to health experts, the number of children with obesity has dramatically increased in many countries. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) published a report earlier this year stating that at least 41 million small children are overweight. Probably the thickest child in the world lives in Indonesia. The ten-year-old Arya Permana weighs almost 200 kilograms, according to British media reports.

Overweight can cause a variety of diseases such as hypertension or diabetes. Even obese children are already showing signs of heart disease. It is therefore strongly recommended to prevent obesity as early as possible. Arya Permana from West Java, Indonesia, did not tackle the problem early enough. According to a report in the British newspaper "Daily Mail", the boy weighs 192 kilograms. But to accuse him of that would be wrong, because he is only ten years old.
Boy needs to lose weight urgently
Arya plagues health problems such as shortness of breath and constant fatigue. Matching clothing is no longer to be found, he covers himself only with a diaper cloth and he also had to leave school because he can not make his way there. "He is always tired and complains of shortness of breath. He only eats and sleeps, "his mother Rokayah Somantri told Metro News. "And when he's not busy, he jumps into the water basin and stays there for hours." According to the information, he is now facing a radical diet, as his weight would otherwise threaten to kill him.
Overweight not taken seriously longer
According to his mother, Arya weighed "3 pounds when he was born. Now it weighs 192 kilos. "But at the age of two years, the boy grew heavily. At first, parents did not see any reason for concern. Her son was bigger than other children in the village, but they simply considered him a happy and healthy child. "He's always hungry," his mother said. "He can eat the portion of two adults at once." His father Ade borrows money to satisfy his son's "big appetite." "I can not starve him."
Diet based on brown rice
Meanwhile, the parents are desperate, however, because the extreme overweight threatens to kill Arya. According to the media reports, doctors have so far found no cause for the overweight of the boy. However, it is known that fat children often suffer from metabolic disorders. The solution for the little Arya is now to bring a strict diet. According to the mother, this is based on brown rice: "I do not know if that will help, but it's the only thing I can do." (Ad)
