Indian parents often use food as an expression of love, but experts warn this habit may be harming childrens long-term health. Dr Anshuman Kaushal from Delhi-based Apollo Hospital highlighted how emotional feeding disrupts hunger cues and contributes to issues like prediabetes, fatty liver and early metabolic disorders. A report by the American Diabetes Association shows rising prediabetes among teens. Doctors urge simple lifestyle changes, encouraging families to show love through healthy routines instead of excessive food.
