| Childhood Obesity - Excess Childhood Weight and How to Control It |
The lifestyle of today causes obesity in children. Children are overweight because they tend to eat all sorts of food and don't exercise enough. The calorie intake in children is higher than the calories burnt. Parents these days are too busy to watch out on childhood activities. They tend to depend upon schools and others. However, parents need to take responsibility of the children.
The lifestyle plan that parents should adopt to keep their children healthy is:
1. You should restrict television viewing and playing of electronic games to not more than two hours a day. They should be encouraged to walk or cycle to a friend's house or call a friend over to play outdoors.
2. Children should be encouraged to walk or ride their bikes to school. This will mean parents having to walk with their children to school if they are too young to walk alone. This will give good exercise to the parents as well.
3. Stop buying unhealthy food. Buy more fruits and healthy food. Children tend to eat biscuits and chocolates after school. You stop that habit and give fruits instead.
4. Parents should eat along with the children. Children should be given plenty of fruits and salads. Salads should be given before meals. This helps in a healthy weight loss for children.
5. Parents should play with children as a family that plays together stays together. Children should be encouraged to do work and told that if they do that work, they would be take out to play> Children love playing with their parents particularly their father.
6. Encourage your children to take part in games or other physical activities. Getting children motivated for sports is not difficult. You can make children join judo and karate classes which will be an added bonus as this will make children self-reliant as well as given the m exercise for the burning of calories.
Thus parents should become the friends of the children and monitor their eating habits so that they do not put on too much weight. |
